R1b-L11 or R1b-L151 (R1b1a2a1a) is a Human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup, belonging to the subclade of R1b.[1] It is found in populations of Central and Western Europe, including Northern Italy and Switzerland.[2]

Origin

This haplogroup is related to the period of Corded Ware or Beaker culture, and possibly founded 3,000 years before our era in the Central part of Europe (possible Bohemia region).[3]

The R1b-L11 is the main branch of R-M269, and found in abundance in populations of the Atlantic, like Belgium, England, Wales, Scotland, Isle of Man, Ireland, France, Spain and Portugal,[4] being brought with the migrations to the United States and the rest of America. It is found in low frequency in Poland and Ukraine, as well as in some southern European countries.[5]

This human haplogroup has two subclades, the south-western branch, P312/S116, and the north-eastern branch, R1b-S21-U106.
