A little bit of a U152 tangent, but when you look at the Discover numbers for Mediterranean Spain (Andalusia, Catalonia, Balearic Islands), 10% are U152 (9 out of 90 samples), which is above average. By comparison, overall Spain is only 3% U152.
Only 4 countries have over 10% U152 (Luxembourg, Switzerland, France, and Italy).
Also, just across from the Balearic Islands, Corsica and Sardinia are also high (above 10%) in U152. From another study on Corsica, 110 of 321 samples (34%) were U152, and FTDNA has Sardinia at 11% U152.
Would be interesting to explore why there is an above average amount of U152 in this West Med area. Lingurians?
"In pre-Roman times, the Ligurians occupied the present-day Italian region of Liguria, Piedmont, northern Tuscany, western Lombardy, western Emilia-Romagna and northern Sardinia, reaching also Elba and Sicily.[2][3] They inhabited also the French region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur and Corsica.[4][5][6][7] However, it is generally believed that around 2000 BC, the Ligurians occupied a much larger area, extenting as far as what today is Catalonia"
