If you put no faith in the age-calculations based on SNPs or STRs, how exactly are you producing these age estimates? It seems you're simply making them up.

Dating these clades accurately certainly appears to be difficult, but you jump from "unaccurate" to definitely rather quickly. You still don't reveal your source for these dates. I also don't know how you claim Finnish to have diverged 6000 years ago. Your argument is essentially: I1-L287 was...

It seems like the crux of your argument rests on your datings of I1 and its clades. If you'll refer to my comments on that in the "haplogroup i1a" thread, I'll simply state that most believe a younger age for I1. Looking at the distribution of its clades, it becomes logical to assume a...

Where exactly are you getting these age estimates? They're wildly off from the consensus in the I1 community of a TMRCA for I1 of about 5000 years before present. Additionally, to my knowledge there exists absolutely no I1 or pre-I1 in the historical record or ancient DNA. So to claim the L287...

It seems the idea that I1 originated in Scandinavia is fading, as more and more SNPs are discovered and Eastern Europe is better sampled. I'll refer to a recent post by Ken Nordvedt concerning the matter: CTS6364+ is the gateway to both L22+ and a portion of L22- which includes a couple more...

Is the sample size really large enough to draw that conclusion? From Table 2, it appears that there were only four I1-L22+ samples found of which three were P109+. Over all, only 16-17% of the I1 noted in Italy is L22+. In Area II, about 14-15% is L22+, and none in Area III is. From the...

It's interesting to see such a high frequency of I1, but it's even more interesting that essentially none of this is L22+; especially if we're arguing for a Swedish origin for some of it.

Perhaps it is misstated in their abstract, but the last sentence indicates that R2 and R1a1 were associated with lower self-reported aggression scores. They also state the differences were not significant (presumably statistically).
