although almost always overshadowed by the more prevalent carriers of Haplogroup R or Haplogroup N.

Overshadowed by N? I'd hardly say the I1a group is ever overshadowed by N within the boundries of northern Europe; maybe only select places in Finland. Nagelfar 00:03, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Haplogroup N3 dominates over Haplogroup I1a among the populations of Finland and Estonia in the same way that Haplogroups R1a and R1b dominate over Haplogroups I1a and I1b2 among the populations of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands.
OK, but that's only in a select area; I1a has a much wider swath. Also, it takes both subtypes of R; R1a & R1b together, to overshadow I1a; each one shares the areas by nearly a third of the population. The article should at least make it not seem that I1a is so rare by comparison; it is the second most common Y haplogroup in Europe. Nagelfar 22:21, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
