Subject: Strange E3b results - need help with interpretation

One option comes immediately to mind for any E3b who does not match well
with what is normal on American datbases. E3b is an African haplogroup, as
is E3b1. Most types of E3b (M35) and E3b1 (M78) exist outside of Europe, for
example in North Africa (which overlaps into Spain, and presumably Sicily)
and the Middle East, but they also spread down to South Africa for example.
Nearly all European E3b types are actually what Cruciani calls the "alpha"
cluster of E3b1 (M78) - one particular subset of a much larger picture. Any
chance the paternal ancestors of the last 1000 years or so were Spanish or
Middle Eastern or African for example?

...sorry to answer quickly...

Regards
Andrew
