Haplogroup R1b1

Haplogroup R1b (of which R1b1 is a subset) is the most frequent Y-chromosome haplogroup in Europe.

Its frequency is highest in Western Europe (and due to European emigration, in North America). In southern England, the frequency of R1b is about 70% and in parts of Spain, Portugal, France, Wales, and Ireland, the frequency of R1b is greater than 90%.
