Kurdish Y-DNA Part VI

Just a new update (highlighted in yellow):


1x E1b1b1c1a (Alevi Kurmanji from Dersim/Turkey)
1x G2a (Alevi Kurmanji from Turkey)
2x J1 (Feyli, originally from Iran)
1x J1c3 (Sorani from Iran)
1x J2 (Kurmanji from Turkey)
1x J2a3a (J2a1a at 23andme; J2a4a at ISOGG 2009; he is M47+, M322+)(Yezidi from Iraq)
1x T (Sorani from Koysinjaq/Iraq)
1x R2a (Sorani from Sulaymaniyah/Iraq)
1x R1b1a2* (Kurmanji from Zakho/Iraq)
1x R1b1b2a (Zaza from Turkey)
1x R1b1 (P25+)(Kurmanji from Maras/Elbistan/Turkey)
1x R1a1a (Z93+, L342+, L657-)(Sorani from Sulaymaniyah/Iraq)
1x R1a1a (Z283+, Z282+, Z284-, M458-, Z280-, subclade 3  only his paternal great-grandfather is Kurdish from Turkey)
1x R1a1a (Alevi Zaza from Dersim/Turkey)
1x R1a1a (Alevi Kurmanji from Dersim/Turkey)
1x I2a2a* (old I2b1*; L1229-, L1230-) (Sorani from Sulaymaniyah/Iraq)

The mutations Z282 and Z283 in Y-haplogroup R1a1a seem to have pretty much the same age.

The "Roots group" of the haplogroup I2a2a* (old I2b1*) in Europe seem to be L1229+ (group "1.1") or L1230+(group "1.2"), at least in the FTDNA I2b1/M223 Y-CLAN STUDY. The Sorani Kurd (at the bottom of the list above) was part of this group but turned out to be L1229- and L1230-. He is now in group "1.6".

The tree presented in the results part of the I2b1/M223 Y-CLAN STUDY shows the details/relationships of the different groups of I2a2a*. The position of the mentioned Sorani Kurd is highlighted in bold.

1- M223* (Roots-X)
1.1- L1229* (Roots)
1.1.1- L812* (Roots Group 1a/446 = 8, 438 = 8)
1.1.1.1- L319 (Roots Group 1a/446 = 8, 438 = 8)
1.1.2- L1230* (Roots Group 2a/446 = 9, 531 = 11)
1.2- Z161
1.2.1- L801
1.2.1.1- Z76* (Cont2a, Cont2to1, Cont1-X)

1.4- M284/L1195
1.4.1- L1193* (Isles E)
1.4.1.2 L1194 (Isles E)
1.4.2- L126, L137, L369 (Isles Limbo, Isles Sc)
1.5- L1228 (I2b1-X)
1.5.1- L1227 (I2b1-X)
1.6- L699/L701/L702/L703 (I2b1-XX)
1.6.1- L704 (I2b1-XX)
1.6.1.1- L1226 (I2b1-XX)

Update: The tree of I2a2a*-M223 was changed again. The position of the mentioned Sorani Kurd is highlighted in bold. I have my doubts about his position in group 1.3.2.

1.- M223* (Roots-X)
1.1- L1229* (Roots)
1.1.1- L812* (Roots Group 1a/446 = 8, 438 = 8)
1.1.1.1- L319 (Roots Group 1a/446 = 8, 438 = 8)
1.1.2- L1230 (Roots Group 2a Section 1/446 = 9, 531 = 11)
1.2- Z161
1.2.1- L801
1.2.1.1- Z76* (Cont2a, Cont2to1, Cont1-X)
1.2.1.1.1- Z78* (Cont1-XX)
1.2.1.1.1.1- L1198 (Cont1, Cont1a, Cont1b)
1.2.1.1.1.1.1- Z79 (Cont1c)
1.2.1.1.2- P95 (Cont2b)
1.2.1.1.3- L1201 (Cont2b)
1.2.2- L623, L147.4 (Cont2c)
1.3- L701/L702
1.3.1- P78 (Cont3a)
1.3.1.1- L484 (Cont3a)
1.3.2- L699/L703 (I2b1-XX)
1.3.2.1- L704 (I2b1-XX1)
1.3.2.1.1- L1226 (I2b1-XX1)
1.4- M284/L1195
1.4.1- L1193* (Isles E)
1.4.1.2 L1194 (Isles E)
1.4.2- L126, L137, L369 (Isles Limbo, Isles Sc)
1.5- L1228 (I2b1-X)
1.5.1- L1227 (I2b1-X) 

Update June 22nd, 2012:
All recommended SNPs for group 1.3.2 (see above) turned out to be negative for the Sorani Kurd. He is L1226-, L699-, L701-, L702-, L703-, L704-, so he does not belong to this 1.3.2 group, either.  Previously, he turned out to be L1229- and L1230- as well. The M233 tree at FTDNA needs to be updated, he belongs to group "1.- M223* (Roots-X)".

All these tested SNPs were observed in European M233 individuals but not in Asia. He is now testing M379, a SNP that was observed once in a sample from Pakistan (but nowhere else). This has been suggested by the  Group Administrator of the FTDNA I2b1/M223 Y-CLAN Project.

Where does I2a2a-M223 (old I2b1) come from?

I was trying to get some information about I2b1 (M223) to understand its origin and migration. To get a first impression about the distribution of M223, below is a map based on SMGF. The peak area of I2b1 seems to be in Central Germany.

Chiaronia et al., 2009 presented a map of M223, too.

Balanovsky et al. 2008 tested for the SNP M223 and found it in several individuals from Russia. 
Vologda (2/121=1.7%)
Unzha (2/52=3.8%)
Kashin (3/73=4.1%)
Livni (1/110=0.9%)
Belgorod (1/143=0.7%)
Kuban Cossacs (2/90=2.2%)

I am still collecting I2b1 data, I will update this post later today.

Edit:
In older publications M223 is also called I1c.

M223 frequency in Europe (From Table 1 in Rootsi et al., 2004):
Portuguese (5/303=1.6%)
Madeiran (Portugal) (2/132=1.5%)
Azorean (Portugal) (2/121=1.6%)
Cape Verde Islanders (1/201=0.5%)
Italian (northern Italy) (2/194=1.0%)
Italian (central Italy) (6/196=3.0%)
Italian (Calabria) (2/148=1.4%)
Italian (Albanese origin) (3/78=3.8%)
Italian (Sardinia) (2/142=1.4%)
French (Southern France) (1/38=5.3%)
French (Low Normandy) (1/42=4.8%)
French (Lyon, Poitier) (1/99=1.0%)
German (2/16=12.5%)
Dutch (3/30=10%)
Swedish (South Sweden) (6/168=3.6)

Russian (Cossacks) (2/97=2.0%)
Russian (Adygea) (1/78=1.3%)
Mordvin (4/83=4.8%)
Chuvashes (2/80=2.5%)
Slovenian (1/55=1.8%)
Croat (mainland) (1/189=0.5%)
Albanian (4/106=3.8%)
Romanian (7/361=1.9%)
Moldavian (2/60=3.3%)
Gagauz (Moldova) (4/79=5.1%)
Greek (4/261=1.5%)
Turkey (5/741=0.7%)
Lebanese (1/66=1.5%)

The map based on Rootsi et al., 2004:

 The number of tested Germans and Dutch is actually very low in this paper (N=16 and N=30, respectively), so the frequency in this region might be off.

The network of haplogroup I was obtained by using the biallelic markers and six STR loci (DYS19, DYS388, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, and DYS393) in 533 Hg I chromosomes from 34 populations:

  Interestingly, the Near Eastern STR haplotypes of I1c (M223) and I1a (M253) are both in the 'core' of their haplogroups, respectively.

It is also interesting to note that M223 is the one of the oldest SNPs in haplogroup I.
