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:
“My topic for Army reunions ... this summer: How to prepare for war in time of peace. Not by fortifications, by navies, or by standing armies. But by policies which will add to the happiness and the comfort of all our people and which will tend to the distribution of intelligence [and] wealth equally among all. Our strength is a contented and intelligent community.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“The man who pretends that the distribution of income in this country reflects the distribution of ability or character is an ignoramus. The man who says that it could by any possible political device be made to do so is an unpractical visionary. But the man who says that it ought to do so is something worse than an ignoramous and more disastrous than a visionary: he is, in the profoundest Scriptural sense of the word, a fool.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“The question for the country now is how to secure a more equal distribution of property among the people. There can be no republican institutions with vast masses of property permanently in a few hands, and large masses of voters without property.... Let no man get by inheritance, or by will, more than will produce at four per cent interest an income ... of fifteen thousand dollars] per year, or an estate of five hundred thousand dollars.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
