Still, the greatest contribution of genetic studies is the discovery that Iberia holds some of the largest populations carrying the R1b haplogroup, about 70% in Spain, which is the most frequent haplogroup in Western Europe. There is a strong prehistoric connection particularly with Atlantic Europe, but also with the wider Mediterranean region, albeit the latter is lesser than regions to the East of the continent (the Balkans) due to Iberia being the farthest away from the Bosphorous region considered the main bridge of population expansions into Europe during the Neolithic. On the other hand, Iberia has the strongest genetic proximity in Europe to North Africa. The Basque Region in Northern Spain is genetically distinct as well as typically Atlantic European,as is the rest of Spain and Portugal, holding the least Neolithic/Mediterranean and North African ancestry in Iberia. Modern day Basques are likely to be genetically similar to the Iberian peninsula's paleolithic inhabitants who repopulated Western Europe after the last Ice Age, the same as the rest of Iberians. While Iberia holds some of the highest percentages of haplogroup Rb1 in Europe, it peaks in the Basque country with percentages close to 90%."@en }
