Na Balkansko poluostrvo došla sa Karpata preko Istočne Europe u VI stoljeću, kao posljedica Slavenskih migracija. Ovaj gen uopšte nije star 10 000 godina kako se u početku smatralo, već je nastao prije 2500 godina u Istočnoj Europi.
Neutemeljene priče o tzv. "Ilirskom genu" Bošnjaka (Hrvata i Srba) ovim najnovijim rezultatima genetičara padaju definitivno u vodu!!!

"Former I2a2a in the Y2010 tree. I2a1b1 (L69.2(=T)/S163.2) is typical of the South Slavic populations of south-eastern Europe, being highest in Bosnia-Herzegovina (>50%).Haplogroup I2a1b1 is also commonly found in north-eastern Italians.There is also a high concentration of I2a2a in north-east Romania, Moldova and western Ukraine. In 2010 has Ken Nordtvedt argued that I2a1b1 is too young not to have been a result of a sudden expansion. According to him I2a1b1 arose not earlier than 2500 years ago in Eastern Europe. He has presumed this to be a consequence from the Slavic invasion of the Balkans, from the area north-east of the Carpathians since 500 CE. In 2011 Nordtvedt has confirmed I2a1b1 is not older than 2,800 years. In his last comments about Haplogroup I tree and the conjectured spread map, he locates the start of the I2a1b1 lineage around the middle course of the Vistula."
Zanimljivo, genetska istraživanja, također, geografski se poklapaju sa historijskim razmještajem Slavenskih naroda prije:
