My Genographic Study

 

After I recieved my results and saw R1a1, that proved to me without a doubt that the historians were correct in their theory that the Ghalaj were infact Indo-Iranians.  This matches the historical accounts which state that the Ghaljai  were Turks who did not associate with other Turks and occupied Tokharistan, the same region where the White Huns occupied. 

 

R1a is more Common in Eurasia while R1b is more common in Western Europe:

 

 

The Red is R1b the Magenta is R1a:

Quotes from the link above:

 

"R1a likely originated in the Eurasian Steppes, and may be associated with the Kurgan culture and Proto-Indo-European expansion. It is primarily found in Central and Western Asia, India, and the Slavic peoples of Eastern Europe, as well as among some populations of Mongolia and southern Siberia, where it might reflect Scythian influences of classical antiquity. "

 

"Haplogroup R1b originated prior to or during the last glaciation, when it was concentrated in refugia in southern Europe and the Aegean. It is the most common haplogroup in Western Europe, but has been found at low frequency as far away as Iran and Korea. It is also found in North Africa where its frequency surpasses 10% in some parts of Algeria^[2]. In south-eastern England the frequency of R1b is about 70%; in parts of the rest of north and western England, Spain, Portugal, Wales and Ireland, it is as high as 90%; and in parts of north-western Ireland it reaches 98%."

 

Honorable as they are, the truth is they are infact related to the Scythians and original Iranians than anything else.
