Maps




The map above shows how modern human beings evolved in Africa and then spread throughout the world. The map shows the evolution and spread of humans by following the Y Haplogroups, which is passed from father to son.


Our haplogroup is J which is from the middle east. The maps below show the origination and migration path of men with the "J" Haplogroup.







The Map below from Wikipedia shows current concentrations of men with the "J" Haplogroup. Note that the highest concentration is in the middle east which probably shows where it originated.


Our Haplogroup is actually J2, a subdivision of J, which split from J and J1 and probably originated in the fertile crescent as shown on the map below. It split from J 18,500 +/- 3,500 years ago. Note how J2 spread along the Mediteranean.

Map of J2 Locations


The map below shows Y Chromosome distribution in Europe 2000 years ago. Note how J2 originated in the middle east and then spread along the seacoast. 



Haplogroup J (Y-DNA)

J is a Middle Eastern haplogroup, divided into the northern J2 and the southern J1. J2 is by far the most common variety in Europe.




The map below shows the spread of J2. The darker green color indicates higher numbers of men with J2.

"Iran shows some of the highest levels of Haplogroup M172 in the world. When one factors in the population of Iran, it may be one of the most populous countries of men bearing the mutation defining Haplogroup J2. But did Haplogroup J2 originate in Iran? This topic is far more complicated and most sources simply indicate its origin as the Northern Portion of the Fertile crescent which could include the northern Levant, Anatolia, Syria, Iraq or Iran. "

Info / Sources



Our Y Chromsome Haplogroup is J. It is further modified by 2 and a4f2, so it is J2a4h2. The following are some interesting bits of information.
_______________________



"Haplogroup J2 is found in the highest concentrations in the Caucasus and the Fertile Crescent and is found throughout the Mediterranean(including the Italian, Anatolian and Iberian peninsulas and North Africa)[20].
The highest ever reported concentration of J2 was 72% in Northeastern Georgia. Other high reports include Ingush 32%, Cypriots 30-37%, Lebanese 30%, Iraqis 29.7%, Syrians 22.5%, Kurds 24%-28%, Iranians 23%, Ashkenazi Jews 24%, Palestinian Arabs 16.8%-25%, Sephardic Jews 29%, and North Indian Shia Muslims 18%, Chechens 26%, Balkars 24%, Yaghnobis 32%, Armenians 21-24%, and Azerbaijanis 24%-48%.
Consistent with its Middle Eastern extent, J2a also includes the Cohen Modal Haplotype," which is a haplogroup found in the Priests descendants of Biblical Aaron.

"J2a4h2 (M158) (location under L24 uncertain).  Found with low frequency in Turkey, South Asia, and Indochina.
________________________

"the J2 subclade is abundant in India (2-22%), and its frequency peaks in the Northwest region."

"Anatolia is most likely the source of this subclade in India, again consistent with the West to East flow of J2.  The date of this invasion points to a period during or after the Neolithic era, and East west towards the levant in the historic times. "

"J2 lineage is also found in SW India with an interesting frequency trend: a higher fraction of J2 in the higher castes and decreasing amounts in lower castes."

"J2a. M410 subclade is present in the Middle East and Southcentral Asia (~4%), which includes India and Nepal. In India, there is a general trend for increased J2a frequency in higher castes. It has also been found in Crete (1-2%), Yadavas (South India) 20%, Tharus (Nepal) 12%-22%...."

"However , The sister clade of J2a4h1 - AKA -J2a4h2 (M158) (location under L24 uncertain) Found with low frequency in Turkey, South Asia, and Indochina."

"J2a4a (M47, M322) Found with low frequency in Georgia, southern Iran, Qatar,Saudi Arabia, Syria,Turkey,the UAE, India and Central Asia/Siberia."

Y-DNA Haplogroup J and its Subclades





FTDNA's Haplotree http://ytree.ftdna.com/index.php?name=Draft&parent=89159733 


J-L24 FTDNA Draft tree  http://ytree.ftdna.com/index.php?name=Draft&parent=56436509


Y-DNA haplogroup J evolved in the ancient Near East and was carried into North Africa, Europe, Central Asia, Pakistan and India. J2 lineages originated in the area known as the Fertile Crescent. The main spread of J2 into the Mediterranean area is thought to have coincided with the expansion of agricultural peoples during the Neolithic period. 

The timing of the demographic events that brought J2 to Central Asia, Pakistan, and India is not yet known. J1 lineages may have a more southern origin, as they are more often found in the Levant region, other parts of the Near East, and North Africa, with a sparse distribution in the southern Mediterranean flank of Europe, and in Ethiopia.

There is a descending gradient in the frequency of occurrence of haplogroup J from the Middle East toward the northwest of Europe, reaching about 3% of the population on the northwest Atlantic coast. The occurrence of J in Europe is undoubtedly due both to the Neolithic expansion and to episodic migrations, though the relative proportion of those two sources is controversial and may not be the same in different locations.

A significant fraction of Jews belong to haplogroup J, but Jews represent a small minority of the European members of the haplogroup. The "Cohen Modal Haplotype" is a specific set of six Y-STR marker values that occurs in both J1 and J2, though at a much higher frequency in J1.

There are also studies indicating that J2 may have spread along the shores of the Mediterranean by the Phoenicians.

Approximate Ages of "Y" J

All of the ages are estimates and subject to change as more is learned. All people are descended from one man who lived about 60,000 +- in Africa.

The following are estimated years ago from the mutation that created our lineage.

J                  20,000 - 23,000

J2                16,000 - 20,000

J2a              16,000 - 19,000



J2a4              4,200 - 11,000

J2a4h (L25)  10,000 - 12,000

J2a4h2 (L24)  8,200 - 12,000   (Hullingers)

Table of Age estimation by Marko Heinila





The age of 8,200 gave our paternal ancestors plenty of time to leave the middle east and get to AArgau, Switzerland. Presumably he was a fairly late entrant to Switzerland as not many Swiss are J2. But it is also not that far from areas in Italy where there are numerous J2. 


Our ancestor could have been someone who was with the people who brought agriculture to Europe, a Phoenician, a Roman soldier or slave, or a Jew, or some of the above. We will probably never know for sure, although further progress in testing may bring more clues. But it is fun to speculate.

  2. R1b in Europe must be something totally different the R1b of Asia
    The Fulani have an old Berber element. This is not surprising, but it is only a part of the origin of White Fulani. The remaining and the most surprising part about Solving the Mysterious Origin of the Fulani is not in Africa but I believe from my historical analysis it is in Turkic speaking countries, particularly The Khazars. Their vast slavery campaigns brought them in contact with many peoples in East Europe, Turkey, the Levant, and the Berber and from that the Fulani people were formed.
    and R1b1c (R-V88) is related to R-M335 (R1b1b) mainly in Anatolia (Asia Minor) and P297 and its division R-M73 (R1b1a1). Found in Anatolia, Caucasus, Urals, Hazara
    As you know haplogroup R1b is not indigenous to Africa, and I am sure it is also not in Europe. I guess its homeland is only central and western Asia. What is called R1b in Europe must be something totally different from the R1b of R1b1c and R1b1b. I think R1b identification, maps and grouping need fresh studies.
    The tribes that were to comprise the Khazar Empire were not an ethnic union, but a congeries of steppe nomads and peoples who came to be subordinated, and subscribed to a core Tűrkic leadership. Many Turkic groups, such as the Oğuric peoples, including Šarağurs, Oğurs, Onoğurs, and Bulğars who earlier formed part of the Tiĕlè confederation, are attested quite early, having been driven West by the Sabirs, who in turn fled the Asian Avars, and began to flow into the Volga-Caspian-Pontic zone from as early as the 4th century CE and are recorded by Priscus to reside in the Western Eurasian steppelands as early as 463.
    My approach is historic. Would you please consider my finding and investigate it genetically. This could be a great discovery for the origins of the Fulani, the Roma and the Ashkenazi peoples that eluded everybody forever

  3. I just got my results and I am J-L25 on my Dad's side. My Dad's origin is Pashtun. The Pashtuns have long believed that they are descended from ancient Israelites, but I've always dismissed that as legend. Maybe some of them were, even if a few? I guess this is one of those things we'll never know.
