I appreciate your efforts Leo, but I don't think
the latest graphic to be very useful. You have
a hotspot in Romania which one might think is
comparable to Eastern Germany. However,
you are dealing with 7 samples in Romania
versus 341 in East Germany. Is this
representative?

Again the higher numbers in the north versus
the low numbers in the south point to a
southern expansion of northern Germans towards
areas of wealth and power (Rome and Greece) for
trade and military protection.

In a crime scene, when looking to where the
missing body fell, you don't overlook the big blood
spot on the carpet in favour of blood splatter on the
walls.
