Distribution
The following figures include all subclades. The greatest density of Haplogoup I is to be found in Bosnia and Herzegovina 65% (Bosnia 54%, Herzegovina 71%). Other higher than average densities occur in the Caucasus: Darginians of Dagestan 58% and Abkhazians 33%, Croatia (mainland 38%, Hvar 66%, Korcula 54%), Serbia (Serbs 38,5%), 23.6% of German males carry the haplogroup I mutation, (highest frequency in Northern Germany 37.5%), Norway 40%, Sardinia 37% (42%), Sweden (North 26%, Gotland & Värmland 50%), Denmark 39%, Montenegro 38%, Bosnian Serbs 41% (36%), Iran: in Tehran 34%, though in Isfahan only 10%, Iceland 33%, and West Finland 41%, though the figure drops in East Finland to 20%
Average densities occur in Macedonia 34%, Bulgaria 28%, Albania 25%, Hungary 11% Lapland 28%, Netherlands 25%, England 20%, Romania 25%, Moldavia 48% and Poland 18-20%.
Within Europe, several populations are distinguished by having a significantly lower frequency of Haplogroup I-M170 than the surrounding populations: Italy and Switzerland have lower levels than Germany and Sardinia, Iberia has a lower density than southern France and Normandy, Greece has a lower level than Albania and the Slavic peoples, while the Baltic-speaking Latvians have a lower level than the Finnic-speaking Estonians. In all these areas, Haplogroup I-M170 populations are small relative to the dominant haplogroups in Europe (R1b in Western Europe, R1a1 in Eastern Europe, and N in Northeastern Europe).

Famous quotes containing the word distribution:
“There is the illusion of time, which is very deep; who has disposed of it? Mor come to the conviction that what seems the succession of thought is only the distribution of wholes into causal series.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Classical and romantic: private language of a family quarrel, a dead dispute over the distribution of emphasis between man and nature.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
“In this distribution of functions, the scholar is the delegated intellect. In the right state, he is, Man Thinking. In the degenerate state, when the victim of society, he tends to become a mere thinker, or, still worse, the parrot of other men’s thinking.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
