The diversification of J2b into M205,CTS560,PF7316 and the brother Z575,CTS2622/Z1827 seems to have happened a long time ago (YTree v3.12 16200 ybp) while the diversification of M205 was possibly only 5600 ybp. So this seems a long time of isolation without expansions if no so far undetected splits do exist. Using data from Hallast et al 2014 and Estonian Biocentre / Karmin et al 2015 as well as known 1000 Genomes Project, Magoon et al 2013 and two BigY FTDNA results it was possible to find possible equivalents to M205 (CTS3833 and maybe Z38486) as well as define more substructure of M205. PF7320,PF7370 as well as three M205* NGS results suggest a considerable expansion at the time of M205,CTS3833. Regarding the status of M205 in Sardinian samples 918-921 (PF et al 2015) Paulo Francalacci kindly confirmed the samples are M205+.
