Have you all noticed Q-FTF30? Bet you haven't! I just kind of stumble-bummed across it while looking at some R1b-M73 hunter-gatherer results from Zvejnieki in Latvia. Among those HGs was one who was Q-FTF30. Wow! Never noticed that before.

Then I noticed another Q-FTF30 result in FTDNA Discover's Ancient Connections: not only Kunda in Latvia, but also Funnel Beaker in Denmark. Then there are a bunch that are derived for Q-Y2700, one step upstream of Q-FTF30, including stuff from North Central Asia and Ertebølle in Denmark.

One thing that is really good about this hobby: there is always new stuff to learn. 

It amazes me how little I really know.

Definitely interesting, here also at YFull: https://www.yfull.com/tree/Q-Y2700/
But it split from living ones approx 18kya. Seems they died out without trace.
But in general the Y2700 group leads down to a few rare Q subgroups of Eastern Europe and also the Nordic L527.
I assume Q guys conquered Western Eurasia the same way as they passed into the Americas right after LGM, but in Europe they remained sparse and were wiped out / outnumbered by incoming Mesolithic HGs and Neolithic farmers, but a few were lucky to enter the PIE migrations gene pool
