  1. These are just DNA interpretations from the companies, it's misleading if you don't have context. The three main components are Anatolians, Steppe Indo-Europeans and Western Hunter Gatherers, all Europeans are made up of these three components in varying degrees of admixture. Southern Europeans are more Anatolian and Northern Europeans are more Steppe. If you want to see the different genetics I recommend the PCA charts, Icelanders cluster genetically with other Northwestern Europeans like Norwegians, Denmark, Germany and the British Isles, Balts and Poland cluster genetically more with other Eastern Europeans like Russians and Ukrainians, Northern Italians cluster genetically more with Central Europeans like Switzerland, whereby Southern Italians cluster more with Greeks.

  2. Haplogroup R originated from P associated with Basal populations of East Asia, P-145 originated from K2, K originated from F possibly in the Middle East or the Indian Subcontinent, Haplogroup F originated from CF, Haplogroup CF originated from CT in Africa about 100 thousand years ago. The first Cro-Magnons were of Haplogroup C and K2, although 25 thousand years ago Haplogroups I associated with the Gravettian culture and the Hunter Gatherers of the Mesolithic entered (10 thousand years).

  3.  @PhansiKhongoloza  The first skeletons of anatomically modern humans were found in East Africa, in Ethiopia, with an age of more than 220 thousand years. They also found another older one in Morocco called Jebel Irhoud, with 300 thousand years, but many do not consider it a modern human because it exhibited characteristics of archaic humans. If we talk about Autosomal DNA and genetic Haplogroups, it shows us that the Khoisan of the Namibian desert are the oldest humans, they have Haplogroup A in 60%, in contrast, most Sub-Saharan Africans are E1b1. Ancient connection between Eurasians and Africans, research has found that Western Eurasians from both Europeans and Middle East, exhibit a 30% autosomal admixture of a deep genetic component called Basal Eurasian, in Paleolithic Natufians a 50% and in Paleolithic Iberomursians a 65%, this deep component possibly associated with Haplogroups DE and CF, shows a strong genetic affinity to Hadza, a tribe of Hunter Gatherers living in East Africa. Genetic studies reveal that Hadza are made up of 70% ancient East African Hunter Gatherers and 30% Khoisan (genetically the oldest living human population).
