Topic: My Genographic Study Posted: 31-May-2007 at 17:05 |
I recently contributed to the Genographic Project sponsored by the Wyatt Family Foundation, IBM, and The National Geographic Society, and my results are listed below:
Heres a few quotes from the study:
My Haplogroup R1a1 M17:
Your Y-chromosome results identify you as a member of haplogroup R1a1 (M17). R1a1 is described by these markers:
M168 > M89 > M9 > M45 > M207 > M173 > M17
M17: The Indo-Europeans of the Steppes of Asia
Fast Facts
Time of Emergence: 10,000 to 15,000 years ago
Place of Birth: Ukraine or southern Russia
Climate: Glaciers are retreating
Estimated Number of Homo sapiens: A few million
Tools and Skills: Possibly the first people to domesticate the horse
More info on my Haplogroup:
Today a large concentrationaround 40 percentof the men living in the Czech Republic across the steppes to Siberia, and south throughout Central Asia are members of haplogroup R1a1. In India, around 35 percent of the men in Hindi-speaking populations belong to this group. The M17 marker is found in only five to ten percent of Middle Eastern men. The marker is also found in relatively high frequencyaround 35 percentamong men living on the eastern side of present-day Iran.
From Wikipedia :
In Europe:
In Europe, the highest frequencies are found in Central and Eastern Europe. Today it is found at its highest levels in Poland, Hungary, (56%-60%), Ukraine (54% [1] or 44%), 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 Northern Europe (the largest being 23% in Iceland).
In Asia:
In Asia, high R1a1 frequencies are detected in populations of Ishkashimi (68%), Tajiks (64%), and Kyrgyz (63%). [5][6] "The exceptionally high frequencies of this marker in the Kyrgyz, TajikyKhojant, and Ishkashim populations are likely to be due to drift, as these populations are less diverse, and are characterized by relatively small numbers of individuals living in isolated mountain valleys" . If the size of a population decreases, for example, in a particular fraternal family all male members will have 100% of R1a1 or 0 % of this marker
The gene has proven to be a diagnostic Indo-Iranian marker [5] and is believed to have been inherited from people who left a clear pattern of archaeological remains known as the Kurgan culture, generally identified as early Indo-Europeans, and later by the Vikings, [7] which accounts for the existence of it in, among other places, the British Isles. [8][9] Lower frequencies of R1a1 are found among populations of West Asia. Iran appears to have had little genetic influence from the R1a1-carrying Indo-Iranians, [5] attributed to language replacement through the "elite-dominance" model.

This is a nice study. I hope you are happy with your result. I took the Y DNA test around five years ago. My haplogroup is I1b, which is Paleolithic and not as common among us Greeks as the Neolithic haplogroups E3b and J2.

Mine was R1b and ther eis no suitablly detailed information on R1b in the ME other than it is a Alan/Sarmatian -> Kurdish/NW Iranian/Armenian thing.

Does ME there stand for Middle East?
R1b is mostly a Western European thing, no?

In human genetics, Haplogroup R1b (M343) (previously called Hg1 and Eu18) is the most frequent Y-chromosome haplogroup in Western Europe.
Its frequency is highest in Western Europe, especially in Atlantic Europe (and due to European emigration, in North America[citation needed], South America[citation needed], and Australia). In southern England, the frequency of R1b is about 70%, and in parts of Spain, Portugal, France, Wales. In Ireland, the frequency of R1b is greater than 90%

Sorry about the italics - I don't seem able to get rid of them.

Interesting!
I would also like to do a genographic study, how does one apply?

They don't speak enough about the Kurds, because we have never taken hostages, never hijacked a plane. But I am proud of this.

Well I had a feeling it would be based on what I have seen on pashtun genetics.

Dienekes posted an interesting study on your haplogroup, R1a1. Ancient South Siberian DNA was analyzed, and this haplogroup was found, showing evidence of Caucasoid presence in the region many years ago.

Can you find a link for it?
It's interesting how versatile my Haplogroup is. It also makes the world much smaller now.

Thanks Dinakos,
I was reading through some of the different articles I uncovered about the Siberian mummies and I came upon an article that tagged all the different STR's from different grave sites.
They had these codes on them that I dont understand fully. I know that they signify the amount of mutations, but when I looked at the study from Siberia, I found many of the same mutations in those mummys in my own report.
Does that simply mean that they signify the pattern of R1a1?
This is the article I read:
Look at page 8. Lots of those "DYS" are very similar, if not exactly like mine. Granted they are not from the same people , but almost all of my STR's match or come very close to these.
Here is my STR profile:
Type: Y-Chromosome Haplogroup: R1a1 (M17)

Are we sure this haplogroup originated in Ukraine or southern Russia 10 to 15 thousand years ago?
One average estimate for the origin of this line in India is as much as 51,000 years. All this suggests that M17 could have found his way initially from India or Pakistan, through Kashmir, then via Central Asia and Russia, before finally coming into Europe".
For those who chose to criticize my statements, you will have to realize that you are stuck in the late 1990s where it was simply a given that M17 emerged in the Ukraine. This pillar is crumbling under the weight of solid evidence to the contrary.
PS:Why is the font size of my post so small?

Traveller,
That doesnt make any sense. If M17's oldest ancestor (M168) left Africa at 45,000 yrs ago, how could M17 be older than its own ancestor?

Afghanan,
The usual estimate for leaving Africa is 70-50 K.

That still doesnt explain how M17 can be older than it's own predecessors M89, or M9, or others for that matter.

That must mean that either it's not true or that they're older than it.

So the scientists around the world who have come up with the ages of these haplogroups are wrong because you or Oppenheimer say so?

What scientists? Cite some sources. Scientists themselves contradict each other in their dates.
