Haplogroup F (Y-DNA) (P14, M213) [3-14%]
 

Haplogroup F is an ancestral haplogroup to Y-chromosome haplogroups G (M201), H (M52), I (M170), J (12f2.1), and K (M9) along with K's descendant haplogroups (L, M, N, O, P, Q, and R).
 
 

Haplogroup (Y-DNA) G (M201) [30-31%]
It is a branch of Haplogroup F (M89), and is theorized to have originated, according to the latest thinking, in the Near East, and began to spread with the Neolithic Agricultural Revolution, perhaps with the appearance of the early horse nomads of the Eurasian steppe.

Haplogroup G (M201) (in many ethnic groups in Eurasia and Oceana; most common in the Caucasus and Anatolia; in Europe mainly in Sardinia, northern Italy, northern Spain, the Tyrol, as well as Bohemia, Moravia; Britain and Norway at only 2%)

Haplogroup G has an overall low frequency in most populations but is widely distributed within the Old World in Europe, western Asia, the Middle East, northeastern Africa, Central Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia (including parts of China). It is most frequent in the Caucasus (found at over 60% in ethnic North Ossetian males and ~30% in Georgian males). In Europe, haplogroup G is found at ~5% in central and southern sections of the continent. It has relatively high concentrations in the Catalan-speaking region of northern Sardinia (over 25%) and the Tyrol region of Austria (about ~15%).

The initial distribution of haplogroup G in Europe may reflect a migration of agriculture-bringing Anatolian people into the Mediterranean Basin. The haplogroup may also have been brought by invading Sarmatians, Alans and Jasz (all descendant groups of the 'Iranian' Scythians), which is a good fit with the historically attested spread of these peoples across the Central Asian steppe, from Xinjiang in the east to Iberia and Tunisia in the west, with a branch (the Sakas) entering the northwest of the Indian subcontinent at the start of the first millennium.


 

Haplogroup J (Y-DNA) (previously known as HG9 or Eu9/Eu10) is a Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup. It is defined by the 12f2.1 genetic marker, or the equivalent M304 marker.

Haplogroup J is believed to have arisen 31,700 years ago (plus or minus 12,800 years) in the Near East

 

Haplogroup J2  (Y-DNA) (M172) [21-33%]
(mainly in Southern Europe, Turkey, Georgia, Kurds, the Middle East, Central Asia, South Asia)

Haplogroup J2 is widely believed to be associated with the spread of agriculture from Anatolia [1],[2]. This connection is supported by its age (8,500 +/- 3,500 thousand years ago) [2], which is very close to the beginning of the Neolithic, its distribution, which is centered in West Asia and Southeastern Europe, as well as its association with the presence of Neolithic archaeological artifacts, such as figurines and painted pottery [3].

Haplogroup J2 is present especially in ethnic groups resident in or originating from Southern Europe, Anatolia, the Levant (Israel, Lebanon), northern Mesopotamia (Kurdistan), the South Caucasus (Armenia, Georgia), Central Asia, and South Asia: for example, Muslim Kurds (28.4%), Central Turks (27.9%), Georgians (26.7%), Iraqis (25.2%), Lebanese (25%), Ashkenazi Jews (23.2%), and Sephardi Jews (28.6%). J2 is not regularly found in Semitic-speaking populations of Africa (such as the Amhara and Tigrinya in Ethiopia) (Semino et al. 2004). However, J2 has been found to encompass several subhaplogroups (22 subhaplogroups, including 12 that have high frequencies) that originated or expanded in different regions: Italy, the Balkans, the Aegean, Anatolia (Kurds and Turkey), the Caucasus (Georgia), and Somalia (see ref: Semino et al. 2004). Haplogroup J2 has often been considered a genetic marker of Anatolian Neolithic agriculturalists. It is also very frequent in the Balkans (Greeks 20.6%, Albanians 19.6%) and in southern Italy (16.7-29.1%). Its frequency rapidly drops in the Carpathian basin (Croatians 6.2%, Hungarians 2.0%, Ukrainians 7.3%). A significant presence of J2 (J2b2+J2a) was also detected in western and south-western India (the highest being 21% among Dravidian middle castes, followed by upper castes, 18.6%, and lower castes 14%; Sengupta et al. 2006). Haplogroup J2 is found frequently in Greece and Italy [4], in Lebanon, in Iraq [2], in Turkey [1], and in the Caucasus region [5]. J2 (M-172) is divided into eight sub-Haplogroups defined by mutations M12/M102, M47, M67/M92, M68, M137, M158, M339, and M340, four of which occur at informative frequencies. 

In Italy, one of the European countries with the highest frequencies of J2, it has been found in the remains of ancient Etruscans,[citation needed] who spoke a non-Indo-European language of unknown affinity. Another important fact about the distribution of Haplogroup J2 is that it appears to have dispersed from a Middle Eastern homeland to the west through a primarily maritime or littoral route, as it is found in high concentrations among the populations of the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea in both Eurasia and Africa, and particularly along the coasts of the eastern Mediterranean in Europe. This distribution may be more consonant with a Neolithic or post-Neolithic maritime dispersal from the Middle East, such as through Phoenician[citation needed] commercial and colonial activities, or even through Greek colonization.Turkey is one of the countries with major J2 population. About 25% of Turkish men are J2 according to a recent study [1]. Combined with J1, one third of the total population of Turkish people belongs to Haplogroup J.

Haplogroup R is a Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup, a subgroup of haplogroup P, associated with the M207 mutation. It is believed to have occurred somewhere in Northwest Asia between 30,000 and 35,000 years ago. However, most of the rare forms of Haplogroup R chromosomes, as well as most cases of the closely related Haplogroup Q, are found among populations of Central Asia, South Asia, Australia, Siberia, Native Americans, and Cameroon.

 

 

 

Haplogroup R1  (Y-DNA) [10-14%]
defined by marker M173. R1 is very common throughout Europe and western Eurasia. Its distribution is believed to be associated with the re-settlement of Eurasia following the last glacial maximum. Its main subgroups are R1a (SRY1532) and R1b (M343).


Distribution of R1a (purple) and R1b (red), after McDonald (2005). See also this map for distribution in Europe.

 


 
R1a1 (Y-DNA) [8-10%]
is a Y-chromosome haplogroup identified with the genetic marker M17, and is associated with the spread of the Indo-European languages.

R1a1 is present at high frequency (40 per cent plus) from the Czech Republic across to the Altai Mountains in Siberia and south throughout Central Asia. Absolute dating methods suggest that this marker is 10–15,000 years old, and the microsatellite diversity is greatest in southern Russia and Ukraine, suggesting that it arose there. R1a1 is a descendant of Haplogroup R1, which is consistent with a European origin. The origin, distribution and age of R1a1 strongly suggest that it was spread by the Kurgan people in their expansion across the Eurasian steppe.[1]

In Europe, the highest frequencies are found in Central and Eastern Europe. Today it is found at its highest levels in Tajiks (64%), Kyrgyz (63%), Poland and Hungary (56%–60%), Ukraine (44-54%[2] depending of the source), and Russia, where one out of two men has this haplogroup. In Hungary contradicting frequencies are reported 60% or 20%. Relatively high frequencies are also found among the ethnic Sorbs (63%) in Eastern Germany and in Scandinavia[3] (the largest being 23% in Iceland). High haplotype diversity was detected in northern Poland where for 508 males Pawlowski et al[4] found 328 different and 264 unique haplotypes, he wrote "Model for a Polish population haplotype …is almost 15 times more frequent in our population than in a cumulative European one" (for better picture compare this diversity to this map of R1a1 frequency) or more accurate map C on this map[5].

 


 

Haplogroup K is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup. Haplogroup K is part of the larger haplogroup U considered together as the supra-haplogroup UK. It is a mostly Eurasian haplotype, and is believed to have first appeared when human populations expanded through Europe after the last glacial maximum in 16,000 BC.

Approximately 32% of the haplotypes of modern people with Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry are in haplogroup K.

In his popular book The Seven Daughters of Eve, Bryan Sykes named the originator of this mtDNA haplogroup Katrine.

 

Anatolian and
Trans-Caucasus Populations, Archaeogenetics: DNA and the Population ehistory of Europe, McDonald Institute Monographs, 2002, page 223. The highest figure is 31.7% in Georgians sampled have haplogroup K mtDNA. Next are Armenians sampled with 27.8% haplogroup K mtDNA. Following are Turks with 24.7%, and Siena, Italy samples, Tuscans, Saradinians, French, and Albanian samples with 35.8% haplogroup K mtDNA.

Analysis of the mtDNA of Φtzi the Iceman, the frozen mummy from 3300 BC found on the Austrian-Italian border, has shown that Φtzi belongs to the K1 subcluster of the mitochondrial haplogroup K, but that it cannot be categorized into any of the three modern branches of that subcluster.

 


According to Bryan Syke's book The Seven Daughters of Eve, mtDNA haplogroup X began at the foot of Mount Ararat and in the Caucasus 25,000 years ago in
the Caucasus and spanned the area from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea. The type is native to the place where the Volga meets the Caspian, according to
Archaeogenetics. The X mtDNA group eventually split up during the Ice Age with some of the group headed through Asia and Siberia and into the New World.

So X is found among 1% of the Lakota and Sioux Native Americans today. The other half of the group that remained in the Caucasus, spread out into Georgia, where it makes up 10% of Georgians today.

In human mitochondrial genetics, Haplogroup X is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup which can be used to define genetic populations. The genetic sequences of haplogroup X diverged originally from haplogroup N, and subsequently further diverged about 20,000 to 30,000 years ago to give two sub-groups, X1 and X2. Overall haplogroup X accounts for about 2% of the population of Europe, the Near East and North Africa. Sub-group X1 is much less numerous, and restricted to North and East Africa, and also the Near East. Sub-group X2 appears to have undergone extensive population expansion and dispersal around or soon after the last glacial maximum, about 21,000 years ago. It is more strongly present in the Near East, the Caucasus, and Mediterranean Europe; and somewhat less strongly present in the rest of Europe. Particular concentrations appear in Georgia (8%),

Haplogroup HV is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup.

Haplogroup HV is believed to have expanded throughout Europe 20,000 years before present, before the advent of farming in Europe. Today, it is most common in Western Europe (and descendant populations).


About one half of Europeans are of mt-DNA haplogroup H. The haplogroup is also common in North Africa and the Middle East.
Haplogroup J is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup. Haplogroup J derives from the haplogroup JT, which also gave rise to Haplogroup T.

Average frequency of J Haplogroup as a whole is highest in the Near East (12%), followed by Europe (11%), Caucasus (8%) and North Africa (6%).

 


 

Haplogroup U3

Haplogroup U3 is defined by the HVR1 transition A16343G. It is found at low levels throughout Europe (about 1% of the population), the Near East (about 2.5% of the population), and Central Asia (1%). U3 is present at higher levels among populations in the Caucasus (about 6%) and among Lithuanian, Polish, and Spanish Romani populations (36-56%).
