The human genome project brings to light the unique contribution of R1
Y-chromosome males to world civilization. Both variations R1a and R1b
split off from type R which originated in central or south Asia many
thousands of years ago.
The R1a form took root in the central
Asian steppes, whereas the R1b form migrated south and west into the
Levant and across Africa over 15,000 years ago, north into Russia, and
east toward the Indian subcontinent and China where they settled in the
Tarim Basin. Both R1a and R1b types were united in forming the Kurgan
Culture in which the Indo-European language group developed and which
spread across Europe. Today, R1a is strongest among the Balto-Slavic
peoples, and R1b is strongest in the Basque areas of Spain and France,
Brittany, Wales and Ireland, with over 90% frequency in these areas of
Europe. This Western civilization then spread throughout the world
through exploration, discovery and settlement, and the spread of
Christianity, including North America.
Scientific studies in
Denmark have proven that males have bigger brains and are more
intelligent than females, with greater divergence particularly on the
high end of the intelligence spectrum. This suggests that R1 type males
will continue to play a major role in North American culture.
