== Origin ==

This haplogroup is related to the period of [[Corded Ware culture|Corded Ware]] or [[Beaker culture]], and possibly founded 3,000 years before our era in the Central part of Europe (possible [[Bohemia]] region).{{cn|date=April 2020}}

R-L151 is the most populous branch of [[Haplogroup R-M269|R-M269]], and is found in abundance along the [[Atlantic]] coasts of western Europe, especially [[Aquitaine]], [[Asturias]], [[Basques]], [[Belgium]], [[Brittany]], [[Galicia (Spain)|Galicia]], [[England]], [[Ireland]] (as a whole), the [[Pays de la Loire|Loire]] region, the isle of [[Isle of Man|Man]], [[Northern Portugal]], [[Northern Spain]], [[Scotland]], and [[Wales]].<ref>{{Citation |year= 2016|title=Genomic signals of migration and continuity in Britain before the Anglo-Saxons|journal= Nature Communications|volume= 7|article-number= 10326|publisher=US National Library of Medicine|pmc= 4735653|last1= Martiniano|first1= R.|last2= Caffell|first2= A.|last3= Holst|first3= M.|last4= Hunter-Mann|first4= K.|last5= Montgomery|first5= J.|last6= Müldner|first6= G.|last7= McLaughlin|first7= R.

R-L151 is found at lower frequencies in [[Poland]] and [[Ukraine]], as well as many other European countries.<ref>{{Citation |title=Y-SNP Branch Information on R1b-L11|publisher=YHRD|url=https://yhrd.org/tools/branch/R1b-L11}}</ref> Since the [[early modern era]], males emigrating from Europe have introduced significant levels of R-L151 to [[The Americas]] and [[Australasia]].

This human haplogroup has two subclades, the south-western branch, P312/S116, and the north-eastern branch, R1b-S21-U106.

Haplogroup R-L151 is geographicaly associated with peoples speaking [[Italo-Celtic languages|Italo-Celtic]] <ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Quiles |first=Carlos |last2=root |date=2018-08-06 |title=On the origin of haplogroup R1b-L51 in late Repin / early Yamna settlers |url=https://indo-european.eu/2018/08/on-the-origin-of-haplogroup-r1b-l51-in-late-repin-early-yamna-settlers/ |access-date=2026-03-04 |website=Indo-European.eu |language=en-GB}}</ref> or [[Germanic languages|Germanic]] [[Indo-European languages]] <ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=Our Golden Family, proto-Germans, Baltic region, 1500 BCE – GoldenGenealogy.com |url=https://goldengenealogy.com/1500-bce-our-golden-family-proto-germans-living-in-baltic-region/ |access-date=2026-03-04 |language=en-US}}</ref> , distinct from haplogroup [[R-Z2103]] (a hypothesis based purely on the geographical distribution of its haplogroups and excluding non-Indo-European languages such as [[Etruscan language|Etruscan]]). [[Haplogroup R-M269]] combines these two groups (with other).

This human haplogroup includes, in particular, the "Italo-Celtic" branch, <ref name=":0" /> P312/S116, and the "Germanic" branch, <ref name=":1" /> R1b-S21-U106.
