  1. Cool. I was not really conscious of the other entries. This synthesis makes good sense, thanks.

  2. Great work Palisto!

    What are those numbers next to the C4b? I have never seen them before and do not appear in my tree mutation map on 23andme.

  3. Thanks StarDS9, you appear to have almost all specific mutations that define haplogroup C4b:
    H2a2a1(rCRS) ⇨ 263G ⇨ H2a2a ⇨ 8860G 15326G ⇨ H2a2 ⇨ 750G ⇨ H2a ⇨ 4769G ⇨ H2 ⇨ 1438G ⇨ H ⇨ 2706G 7028T ⇨ HV ⇨ 14766T ⇨ R0 ⇨ 73G 11719A ⇨ R ⇨ 12705T 16223T ⇨ N ⇨ 8701G 9540C 10398G 10873C 15301A ⇨ L3 ⇨ 489C 10400T 14783C 15043A ⇨ M ⇨ 4715G 7196A 8584A 15487T 16298C ⇨ M8 ⇨ 3552A 9545G 11914A 13263G 14318C 16327T ⇨ C ⇨ 6026A 15204C ⇨ C4 ⇨ 2232.1A ⇨ C4a'b'c ⇨ 3816G ⇨ C4b

    Interestingly, you don't have the A249 deletion that is common for the entire CZ branch and, additionally, you carry the specific mutations A248G and A14566G (, and T16519C but not so important). The mutations A248G and A14566G were not described for C4b before.

    I got C4b and C4b6 as the two possibilities, maybe it could be a new sub-clade.

    1. The K19 run does not seem to be very accurate for Middle Eastern people. Assyrians, Armenians, Turks and Kurds have an "Italian" component. The Kurd13 individual has no "Middle Eastern" component.

  7. Is the presence of mtdna U7, U8b and K in kurds from the Nativ population who are thete since this groups arise from U or are they linked to Scythians ?

    ReplyDelete

    1. K at least is known in the area (Syrian tells of the Euphrates) from the early Neolithic (PPNB), making up >25%. U was not detected in those samples, all the rest being (after I double-checked the HVS-I results) R* and L3*(xR), which may be N lineages.

      → (Fernández 2008) http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1875176808000334

      Titriş Höyük, near Urfa, produced for c. 3000 BCE (Matney 2010: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/oa.1213/abstract;jsessionid=6B90F9E0FBE51BA1E26F84202D80CF6E.f03t01) 10 sequences of R*-CRS (most likely H) and two others of R* (maybe 100% H). This may be the only sequence from Kurdistan as such.

      Tell Kurdu (which in spite of the name is not in Kurdistan but near Antakya) produced three seemingly H3 squences (Amuq-Biblos C period, with Cardium Pottery influences from the West, since c. 6000 BCE) and a number of unclear ones. But the study (R. Özbal 2010) does not seem available online, so I'm telling second hand.

      For a later ("Sumerian") period in Mari, U4, H, R*, J and L2 were reported in the Euphrates tells of Syria (not double-checked, again from Fernández 2005); Tomczyk 2010 reported a single K sequence at Terqa (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/oa.1150/abstract); weeks ago three "anomalous" haplogroups were reported also for Terqa (Witas 2013: http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0073682): M4b, M49 and M61, attributed to some connection with South Asia.

      So K and H particularly seem quite old. K may well be aboriginal paleolithic, H has been over in the region since at least the later Neolithic and in Kurdistan since at least 5000 years ago (Bronze Age). U4, J, L2 and some now very rare "Indian" lineages too. U7 and U8 however have not yet been reported but neither most of Kurdistan nor nearby Iran, Iraq nor Caucasus (nor most of Turkey and Syria either) have ever been sampled for aDNA, so there is wide room for doubt.

  8. Ashkenazi jews who have i think scythian ancestors have mtdna K and its found in Xinjan too (iranic people) and the whole y-dna there was R1a1a .
    Thats why im asking are mtdna K and their realitiv U lineages arise from U* in today Iran or levant about 60'000 years ago and stayed there or are these people came with the Scythians and other aryans together with R1a1a

    1. In my understanding Western Jews (Ashkenazi, Sephardi, Moroccan...) originate somewhere near Cyprus, possibly somewhere in Turkey or a wider area around that zone, which was one of the most dense areas of the Jewish Diaspora in the Hellenistic and Roman period. This classical Diaspora was essentially made up of converts, rather than migrants from Palestine, because in those times Judaism was actively proselytistic (it only became a "ghetto religion" with the expansion of its offshoots: Christianity and Islam, which tolerated it but did not allow it to proselytize anymore).

      In addition to that, Ashkenazi and Moroccan communities seem to have very strong founder effects, while Sephardites from Turkey and Greece seem more diverse and are probably the parent population of the other groups.

      All this does not mean that they do not have some admixture with host populations, including probably some Khazarian ancestry (another convert population) in the case of (mostly) Russian Jews, which is what you may mean by "Scythian", I guess. But not at levels high enough to matter too much.

      U lineages have been found in large numbers in Paleolithic Europe (almost the only sampled area for Paleolithic times worldwide), specifically: U*, U2, U4, U5 and U8*. This means that U surely spread, as you say, some 60 (or 50 or 40) Ka ago and that each sublineage had their own story since then (although sometimes they are found together, notably U5 and U4).

      U8b(xK) is only found AFAIK in West Asia and Italy, while its relative U8a is almost only found among Basques (plus some erratics in West Europe). However K had some sort of massive expansion and a likely timeline for that is the Neolithic. The fact that it's found in Syrian PPNB before anywhere else seems consistent with an expansion from West Asia in several directions (but especially to some regions of Europe).

      U7 on the other hand is more restricted to West, Central and South Asia. I guess that you can associate it with Iranian flows but it's so far just a tentative association, with no clear positive support AFAIK. Alternatively it could well be a lineage of the eastern branches of Neolithic or just have been in all those areas since Paleolithic times (or a bit of all them).

      We do not know to what extent but it's very likely that many of the migrations, especially in the Metal Ages (such as the Indo-Iranian ones), implied mostly male flows (and even minority ones, as conquest and social stratification was already very much the norm) and that not so many women arrived with the conquerors, who often took wives or concubines among the local women instead. Discerning the approximate levels of immigrant and persisting native blood is not really possible until more archaeogenetic data is available, I fear.

    2. Thx for the information.
      It seems that U, K lineages in middle east are mostly Paleolithic, in Iranic peoples its the most common mtdna group i think tgether with K, U* lived somewehere in today Iran (tosome maps that i have seen) my mtdna is K and maybe Nativ how in other iranic people

  9. The U5 seems ti be from Europe since two are for sure under deep subclades U5a1 and U5a1a. probably the same for the U2 which one was under deep subclade U2e1a. There are two 31,155 year old U5 samples in Czech republic and a 37,985 year old U2 sample in European Russia. both U2e, U4, and U5a and U5a1a have been found in Mesloithic European hunter gathers. Also since Kurds speak a Indo Iranian language. It's ancestral form came out of Russian Yamna culture about 5,000ybp then spreading into asia. U5a1a and U2e1 have been found in Indo Iranians of central asia ones that show they were pale pigmentated like Europeans so straight from the Russian Yamna people. So that is probably the source of their U2, U5, and U4. T1 is very popular in Indo Iranian remains in bronze and iron age something unique about them. Even though T1 probably came to Europe pretty recently from the Near east maybe Neloithic. I think it woukd make sense Kurdish T1 was already there but it may also have partly come with Indo Iranian languages. H5 is also in Indo Iranian mtDNA samples but probably came to Europe in Neolithic from the Near east. Overall at least 3% of Kurdish mtDNA came with Indo Iranian languages while over 10% of the Y DNA did mainly R1a1a1b2 Z93. I am surprised by how popular HV is in the Near east mainly around Iraq. They have mainly near eatern U subclades U1,U3, and U7.

      "5x N (Kurds from Saqqez, Kurdistan-Iran; Farjadian et al., 2011)"
