TOTAL SPAIN =   143/3.098 =  4.62 %

*without Pasiegos = 128/3034 = 4.22 %

Canarians were not included for obvious reasons.


Observations :

- We obtain a result of between 4 and 5%, slightly lower than that observed for Portugal (5.73%).

- The closest spanish region to the national average would be Andalusia (4.77%).

- As mentioned before, I reiterate the lack of correlation between islamic history in Iberia and these subclade frequencies, such that Andalusia (the place were Islamic religion lasted longer, specifically Western Andalusia) has less E-M81 than some northern regions such as Galicia, Cantabria, Valencia, Castille, which essentially means the presence of this subclade in Iberia has very little to do with the islamic period, in other words, the moors (in the ethnic sense)  had a very minoritary presence in Spain.

- Another obersvation I make, is the difference between Galicia and it's close neighbour Asturias, which has amongst the lowest frequency of the spanish communities.

- The lowest presence is in Catalonia, with aprox. 1%,  followed by Basques (1.4%) and the highest in Cantabria (12.75% with Pasiegos, 9.8% without Pasiegos).

- Obviously the samples of the various communities are still very small and unrepresentitative, so this percentages are only orientative.

- Compared to other nations, the closest country besides Portugal in terms of similar percentages, would be France, with 4.42 % (see here).

Total E-M81 in Portugal

Southern Portuguese  n=6/49   12.2%   Cruciani 2004.
Southern Portugal      n=6/78  8.00%   Adams et al.
South Portugal          n=6/100   6.0%   Goncalves 2005
Total South :   20/257 = 7.8%

Central Portugal    n=5/102   4.9%   Goncalves 2005

Northern Pprtuguese   n=2/50    4.0%    Cruciani 2004.
Northern Portuguese    n=6/109   5.5%   Flores et al.
Northern Portugal        n=2/60    3.0%    Adams et al.
North Portugal            n=6/101   5.9%   Goncalves 2005
Total North :  17/320 = 5.3%

Portugal               n= 33/659  5.0%   Capelli et al. 2009 (includes Beleza et al.)

Total Portugal (all samples)  n = 70 / 1.308 = 5.35%

Very similar to the percentage of Galicia (5.76%) and below 6% again when considering many studies. This percentage is similar to some areas of France ( like Auvergne ( 5.62%,  Cruciani 2004), and the North of Portugal has higher than spanish southern region of Andalusia (4.7% see my previous entry). I will publish another entry with the total for Spain.

E-M81 in Galicia

Total of E-M81 in Galicia (NW Spain), considering many studies :

Galicia             n=2/19    10.5%    Flores et al.2004
Galicia             n=9/88    10.2%    Adams et al.
Galicia             n=12/292   4.1%    Brion et al.2004
--------
Total Galicia    23/399= 5.76%

It's actually below 6% when combining different studies, and similar to those found in some areas of France, like Auvergne ( 5.62%,  Cruciani 2004), and higher than those found in Andalusia (4.7% , see here). This presence is obviously due to pre-historic migration, because muslim history in Iberia doesn't correlate with genetics, as seen here, when Andalusia has less E-M81 than some northern spanish communities.
