Cool article, wild European tribal clothes and savage Serbs vs the cultured Romans.The ancient Germanic tribes also were reluctant to bow to Roman occupation of their tribal realms.

Per the Eupedia map at top link, Sardinia is also rich in the haplogroup.
Sardinians are called Sards or Serds, perhaps etymologically similar to Sorbs or Serbs?
Note: I recall that the Sorbian language has been considered the 'root' of Yiddish by some.
A new study of mtDNA in Sardinia:
"The island of Sardinia is remarkable for the fact that an exceptionally high proportion of the population is seemingly descended from people who have occupied it since the Neolithic and Bronze Age, between 8,000 and 2,000 years ago. For centuries after that, they had little interaction with mainland Europe."
"Sardinia has always been an island, but it is believed that there was a time when a lower sea level meant it retained links with the continent, and through these links the first inhabitants reached the island from continental Europe. Then the sea level rose but, despite this, connections with the continent remained active through the Neolithic and Bronze Age..." (and then were inactive)
