Topic: Gubook Janggoons Genetic Lineage Posted: 06-Jul-2005 at 22:29 |
Well...I participated in the National Geographic Genographic Project, and I've gotten my results.
Map now, other stuff later.

It seems no one's really interested...but here goes.
Your Y chromosome results indentify you as a member of halogroup O, a
lineage defined by a genetic marker called M175. This halogroup is the
final destination of a genetic journey that began some 60,000 years ago
with an ancient Y chromosome marker called M168
The very widely
dispersed M168 marker can be traced to a single indvidual--"Eurasian
Adam." This African man, who lived some 31,000 to 79,000 years ago, is
the common ancestor of every non-African person living today. His
descendants migrated out of Africa and became the only lineage to
survive away from humanity's home continent.
Population growth
during the Upper Paleolithic era may have spurred the M168 linage to
seek new hunting grounds for the plains animals crucial to their
survival. A period of moist and favorabe climate had expanded the
ranges of such animals at this time, so these nomadic peoples may have
simply followed their food source.
Improved tools and
rudimentary art appeared during this same epoch, suggesting significant
mental and behavioral changes. These shirts may have been spurred by a
genetic mutation that gave "Eurasian Adam's" descendants a cognitive
advantage over other contemporary, but now extinct, human lineages.
Some
90 to 95 percent of all non-Africans are descendants of the second
great human migration out of Africa, which is defined by the marker M89.
M89
first appeared 45,000 years ago in Northern Africa or the Middle East.
It arose on the original lineage (M168) of "Eurasian Adam," and defines
a large inland migration of hunters who followed expanding rasslands
and plentiful game to the Middle East.
Many people of this
lineage remained in the Middle East, but others continued their
movement and followed the grasslands through Iran to the vast steppes
of Central Asia. Herds of buffalo, antelope, woolly mammoths, and
other game probably enticed them to explore new grasslands.
With
much of Earth's water frozen in massive ice sheets, the era's vast
steppes stretched from eastern France to korea. The grassland hunters
of the M89 lineage traveled both east and west along this Steppe
"superhighway" and eventually peopled much of the continent.
A
gropu of M89 descendants moved north from the Middle East to Anatolia
and the Balkans, trading familiar grasslands for forest and high
country. Through their numbers were likely small, genetic traces of
their journey are still found today.
Some 40,000 years ago a man
in Iran or southern Central Asia was born with a unique genetic marker
known as M9, which marked a new lineage diverging from the M89 group.
His descendants spent the next 30,000 years populating much of the
planet.
Most residents of the Northern Hemisphere trace their
roots to this unique individual, and carry his defining marker. Nearly
all North Americans and East Asians ahve the M9 marker, as do most
Europeans and many Indians. The halogrop defined by M9, K, is known as
the Eurasian Clan.
This large lineage dispersed gradually.
Seasoned hunters followed the herds ever eastward, along a vast belt of
Eurasian steppe, until the massive mountain ranges of south central
Asia blocked their path.
The Hindu Kush, Tian Shan, and
Himalaya, even more formidable during the era's ice age, divided
eastward migrations. These migrations through the "Pamir Knot" region
would subsequently become defined by additional genetic markers.
M175, first arose among early Siberians of the lineage M9. The haplogroup it defines, O, unitquely represents East Asia.
Siberian
hunters followed the great steppes eastward, across southern Siberia,
about 35,000 years ago. After these ancient migrants arrived in China
and East Asia, the ice age advanced toward glacial maximum.
Encroaching ice sheets and Central Asia's impassible mountain ranges
effectively isolated the haplogroup in East Asia. There they evolved
in isolation over the millennia.
Today some eighty to ninety
percent of all people living east of Central Asia's great mountain
ranges are members of Haplogroup O, M175 is nearly non-existant in
western Asia and Europe.

I was goiong to take part in that thing...then I forgot too. I was curious since I have multiple ethnicities from different areas if my results would be confused or maybe even get 2 ancestors, probably to late to find out now.

No, the project's on for 5 years.
You still got time.

Interesting, they had always assumed that africans were the oldest race I am not sure if this is saying that east asians are the youngest or is it is just following a longer path to get to east asia because that is where your halogroup is. It would be interesting to see more results.

Miller, I think that the tree actually begins in Africa and expands up- and eastwards.

They have a more complete map on their web site. Things go in circles and does not seem to be done yet. It is a little hard to make sense of it

Its not as if Africans have remained totaly unchanged whilst the rest
of the world developed differences, so 'oldest' and 'newest' here is
kind of awkward. Seeing as everyone has that common root, they are all
part of the 'oldest', and seeing as genetic change over time is
assured, everyone is relativly 'new'.

Indeed - however, how much mixing has happened in Africa? Because everywhere else lots of mixing surely happened.

Plenty i would imagine, especialy the edges where contact with
non-Africans is greater. At the same time Africa isn't homogeneuos, and
groups have moved around internaly altering the genetic picture over
time.
Stuff like the Bantu migrations and what not.

Older race is based on a study on the number mutations it does not mean less evolved it means more iterations. It was one the factors that created the out of Africa theory.

And people in Africa continued to have generic mutations, its not like they havn't changed in the last 80,000 years.
