History and description of Haplogroup J2 (Y-chromosomal DNA) and its subclades. Haplogroup J2 is a major West Asian and Greco-Roman paternal lineage. It is associated with many Bronze & Iron Age ancient civilizations from the Mediterranean to India.
Nevertheless, substantial minorities of other haplogroups have been found on different Neolithic sites next to a G2a majority, including C1a2, H2, I*, I2a1, I2c, and J2a in Anatolia, C1a2, E-M78, H2, I*, I1, I2a, I2a1, J2 and T1a in Southeast and Central Europe (Starčevo,...
Conversely, hg U2 in South Asia dates to more than 35 kya31, indicating its presence prior to the LGM. Moreover, other haploid (Y chromosomal hg J2)79 and diploid80,81 genetic markers provide support for a post-glacial disper- sal from the Near East to South Asia before the Bronze Age...
Hun, Avar and conquering Hungarian nomadic groups arrived to the Carpathian Basin from the Eurasian Steppes and significantly influenced its political and ethnical landscape, however their origin remains largely unknown. In order to shed light on the gen

Today Z2124 is most frequent in Kyrgyzstan and Afghanistan, but is also widespread among Karachai-Balkars and Baskhirs18. Z2124 was widespread on the Bronze Age steppe, especially in the Afanasievo and Sintashta cultures19 and R1a detected in Xiongnus20,21 very likely belong to the same ...
of the Urals region of Russia (50%), Turkmenistan (over 35%), the Hazara people of Afghanistan (35%), the Uyghurs of North-West China (20%) and the Newars of Nepal (11%). R1b-V88, a subclade specific to sub-Saharan Africa, is found in 60 to 95% of men in northern Cameroon...
In any case, a later migration out of Egypt would be improbable since it would have brought haplogroups that came to Egypt during the Bronze Age, such as J1, J2, R1a or R1b-L23.The maternal lineages associated with the spread of R1b-V88 in Africa are mtDNA haplogroups J1b, U5 and...

striking contrast to the severe population reduction affecting hg U7 during the last glacial period. Conversely, hg U2 in South Asia dates to more than 35 kya31, indicating its presence prior to the LGM. Moreover, other haploid (Y chromosomal hg J2)79and diploid80,81genetic markers provide ...
