I was browsing a paper on the Y chromosome of the Alpine valleys of Sud Tyrol (Pichler et al. Genetic structure in South Tyrolean isolated populations). Nothing too special about the haplogroup distribution, except that they find 3 African Y out of 194 people, 2 E3a (same haplotype) and 1 A (no less!).
Of course mistakes and mix-ups happen. However, it seems really a high number, plus, up there in the Alps! (But then, they found also 2 of my own somewhat rare Y-haplogroup L)
The haplotypes given are (the order is 19, 388, 390, 391, 392, 393, 426, 389I, 389-II. Note: I am not sure of the reporting system, whether something needs to be added or not).
E3a: 15 12 21 11 11 13 09 13 32
A: 16 15 25 11 11 12 09 11 27
