Using the haplotype-based analyses implemented in fineSTRUCTURE, we detected marked levels of differentiation in Basques (Figures 3 and S2; Table S1). First, the Basque groups cluster together within the large European branch but in a differentiated external cluster (Figures 3A and S2).
General introduction The existence of a Vasconic (Basque-like) or Euskaro-Caucasian substratum in large parts of Western Europe has long been suspected (HUBSCHMID 1951, 1953, 1954, 1959, 1960, 1963, 1991; see also BLASCO-FERRER 2010, 2011; VENNEMANN 1995, 2003a, 2003b).
