I think there are several possible explanations involving recent (Ottoman era) admixture from Europe, but it would be cool if you're descended from an ancient Galatian of Anatolia! I don't think we have actual simples, but it's highly probable that they were dominated by U152. Do you have any...

Not to know for sure, but if one studies history and population movements (by various methods), one can perhaps make an educated guess, hence my original question.

Yes, I would tend to agree with that. I'm just wondering if we can make an educated guess as to whether it's more likely to be from Hallstatt Celts or Italic Romans, in the case of Galicia / NW Iberia.

Right, that's what I'm suggesting is most likely. It seems the Suebi had R1b-U1006, I1, and other haplogroups in small amounts. Maybe they carried a little U152 they picked up as they expanded south, but not enough to explain the frequency in Galicia, I'd wager.

Indeed, this is essentially a Slavic branch (much more general than just Ruthenians), and the Y-Full branch shows just two Turkish samples, alongside Slavic ones. Almost surely a result of Ottoman invasions and raids.

@Maciamo Thank you for your excellent work on this map, and many others. I am particularly curious as to your present best theory on the prevalence of U152 in NW Iberia. Similarly, the map "Combined Hallstatt/La Tène Celtic & Italic Y-DNA haplogroups", which includes U152. As far as I can tell...
