Britons in Tribal Kingdoms

I thought this might be an interesting discussion though not specifically Phillips

After reading this article it occurs to me that this article says very much about the U106...U198's of the world. In my case I am U198 which is a haplotype not typically in the more native Celtic population. This article seems to describe almost perfectly what happened. In the Phillips DNA project I am most closely related to another Phillips man from Scotland. Downstream from U198 is an SNP (JFS0005). My hope is that I can answer a question about the time my Phillips chose the name and the mutation that brought JFS0005. Wouldn't it be interesting to know. I am almost certain that the mutation would have occurred before the Phillips name was chosen, based on the fact that 2 other men with the same SNP have different last names. My curiosity however is piqued.
