First, the genetical composition and outer appearance need not to be confused. Genetical composition
is a macro state, with a global perspective and imperceptibly slow changes; it is a statistical
matrix. The outer appearance is a micro state, close to individual layer, driven by genetical micro
changes, and fast and fluid. In archeology, the outer appearance is yet imperceptible, the skeletons
are not only mute, but also give no indication about the color, texture, and curling of hair, eyes
color, pigmentation, epicanthic folds, etc. A group may have a huge intra-group diversity, but at a first glance look
somewhat similar.
Second, we are just approaching the resolution needed for demographical perceptive. Unlike sedentary peoples, the Türkic peoples were distinguished by high mobility and high fluidity. As a result,
almost any category in the past studies is comprised of a number of distinct elements, and without seeing these constituent elements the picture is blurred and misleading. For example, the Senior Juz of the Kazakh people in its composition has two main components, each with a unique history and origin: Uisyn
aka Usuns, of Dulat aka Dulo, and Sary Uisyn subdivisions, and Kangly, who descend from the ancient
Kangar (Ch. Kangju). Without a closer examination, the
genetical image is as realistic as a serving of potato soup, which in reality consists of quite
distinct potatoes, meat, onions, etc. The genetical analysis is also complicated by comparisons of incompatible objects. The genetical picture of countries with poly-ethnic population, taken at its statistical median, can't be
meaningfully compared with the genetical picture of ethnically relatively homogenous groups, like Kazakhs
compared with Mari. Historians and anthropologists need a more detailed
resolution.
When the reality shows up at the doorstep, even learned scientists that know better
have to listen. Citing Dienekes blogspot on the incoming "surprize" results, "This really puts into question the nature of the proto-Indo-Iranians and the "Caucasoidness" of the Bronze Age IE in Siberia."
It sure does, exactly like on the first day these naatturress were concocted.
Fortunately, nobody displays any embarrassment.
And lastly, the enetic graphs demonstrate the spuriousness of the "Altaic" category, and its
continued use in genetic research not only was failing to model an analyzable concept, but also
tends to produce misleading results and superficial conclusions. Fortunately, the macro-Altaic
category, heavily advocated in the past century, by now is pretty much discredited. |
Во первых, генетический состав и внешность не должны быть спутаны. Генетический состав - это макро-состояние, с глобальной перспективой и неощутимо медленными изменениями; это - статистическая матрица. Внешность - это микросостояние, близкое к индивидуальному слою, оно управляется генетически микроизменениями, быстрыми и летучими . В археологии внешность не улавливаема, скелеты не только немы, но еще и не показывают цвет, структуру, и волнистость волос, цвет глаз, пигментацию, эпикантные складки, и т.д.
В нутригрупповое разнообразие может быть огромным, но по внешности все смотрятся как-то похоже.
Во вторых, мы только приближаемся к разрешению, необходимому для демографической перспективы . В отличие от оседлых народов, Тюркские народы отличались высокой подвижностью и текучестью. В результате, в прошлых работах почти любая
этническая категория состоит из множества отдельных элементов, без этих элементов картина туманна и заблуждающая.
Например, Старший Жуз Казахов имеет два главных компонента, каждый с уникальной историей и происхождением:
Уйсин иначе известный как Усуни, состоящий из субдивизий Дулат, иначе известный как Дуло, и Сары Уйсын, и Канглы,
происходящие из древнего государства Кангар. Без подабающего разрешения, генетический образ является столь
же реалистичным как картофельный суп, который в действительности состоит из весьма отличных
картофеля, мяса, лука, и т.д. Генетическая картина стран со многоэтническим населением, в еe
статистической сердине, не может быть продуктивно
сравненена с генетической картиной этнически относительно гомогенной группы, как Казахи по сравнению с Мари.
Историки и антропологи нуждаются в более детальном разрешении.
Когда реальность появляется на пороге, даже ученые ученые которые знают лучше, должны слушать.
Цитируя Dienekes blogspot о получении "неожиданных" результатов, "Это
действительно ставит под сомнение натуру прото-Индо-Иранцев и "Коказоидность" ИЕ Бронзового
Века в Сибири." Конечно ставит, так же, как было и в первый день когда эти нааттурры были
сочинены. К счастью, стыда никто не показывает.
И наконец, генетические графики демонстрируют исскуственость категории "Алтайских" языков, и длительное
использование ее в генетических исследованиях не только не было в состоянии моделировать концепцию поддающуюся
анализу, но также имело тенденцию приносить заблуждающие результаты и
поверхностные заключения. К счастью, категория макро-Алтайского языка, сильно продвигаемая в прошлом
столетии, к настоящему времени уже смертельно дискредитирована.

Haplogroup:
A is common for virtually all Siberian ethnic groups
B originates from South Asia
C is a source of female mt-DNA among
the Türkic people. Into the Türkic fold it comes from the Tungus (Ch. Dunhu) peoples, who are
known to us as Tunguses and Mongols and Manchu, and also as Koreans and Japanese. The highest diversity of
C is in the Indian subcontinent (50,000 bp), indicating location of its emergence. C spread to many indigenous populations of Siberia and in Central Asian ethnic groups,
reaching Goths, modern England and New York, provinces of Belgium, and Amerindians prior to 1492.
D is a source of female mt-DNA among
the Türkic people. Into the Türkic fold it comes from the Tungus (Ch. Dunhu) Mongols and Manchu, and also
from north-eastern Asian people.. The highest diversity of D is in the Middle Asia (40,000 bp), indicating location of its emergence.
D spread to and with many indigenous populations of Siberia,
reaching Goths, modern England and New York, provinces of Belgium, and Amerindians prior to 1492.
F originates from South Asia similar in distribution to haplogroup B
Haplogroup G contains two subclusters:
Gl characteristic of North-East Siberian populations
G2a with highest (8.8%) frequency detected in Central Asia
Y is thought to originate from the Far East
M* is thought to arose 50,000-70,000 BP in Southern Asia and
migrated to Southeastern Asia 50,000-60,000 BP.
M1 is much older than notable expansion time of 12,000-13,000 BP

Y-chromosome haplotype diversity in populations of Altaic
language family
Vadim Stepanov, Valery Puzyrev, Maria Spiridonova, Vladimir Kharkov, Irina
Khitrinskaya
Institute of Medical Genetics, Nab. Ushayky 10, Tomsk, 634050, Russia
Distribution of Y-chromosome haplotypes in 10 ethnic groups of Siberia
and Middle Asia belonging to Altaic language family (Tuva, Buriat, Northern and Southern Altai, Evenk, Kirghiz, Uzbek, Siberian
Tatar, Uighur,Yakut) was investigated in order to reconstruct the evolution of paternal lineages in
North Eurasia.
Were found high level of gene diversity (H=1.00) and substantial degree of genetic differentiation of male-specific gene pool (Fst = 0.212) in modern North Eurasian populations. Most haplotypes in modern
Altaic population have common ancestry traced back to the Upper Paeleolithic period (about 15 kya).
According to AMOVA results, 5.7% of observed diversity is due to differences between language
groups of Altaic family, 19.9% is due to differences between populations within language groups,
and only 74.3% of genetic diversity is attributable to within-population level.
In most populations was found more than one lineage. Most ancient lineages (7-12 kya) were found
in Uzbek and Kirgiz Türkic-speaking populations of Middle Asia. Among native Siberian populations most ancient Y
lineages was observed in Türkic ethnic groups in Altai and Tuva. The age of Siberian lineages
obtained from the microsatellite variance within the 'binary' haplogroup were 5 to 6 kya.
Mongol-speaking Buryats and Evenks, belonging to Tungus branch, have relatively 'young' lineages in
their male-specific gene pool. Age of two main Y-chromosome clusters in Buryats were 2,800 and 4,500 kya,
and the age of Evenk lineages were 2-3 kya. Using the molecular variance of microsatellite
haplotypes was estimated the age of ancestral haplotypes for 'binary' haplogroups. The age of
DYF155S2 deletion was estimated as about 6,9 kya, and the age of T-C transition at Tat locus as 4,2
kya. |

Y-Chromosome Haplogroup Trees
See
Y-chromosome haplogroup tree and
The Journey of Man, A Genetic Odyssey by Spencer Wells, p. 182.
Biallelic SNP markers are single base-pair mutations (polymorphisms)
that occur at different Y-chromosome locations about once every 7000 years. SNP=Single
Nucleotide Polymorphism. There are 153 known haplogroups. Haplotypes
defined by the 25 STR markers are subgroups under the haplogroups.

Y-DNA HAPLOGROUP DEFINITIONS:
Family Tree DNA
provided the following thumbnail summaries of the different haplogroups :
- Haplogroup B is one of the oldest Y-chromosome lineages in humans.
Haplogroup B is found exclusively in Africa. This lineage was the first to
disperse around Africa. There is current archaeological evidence supporting a
major population expansion in Africa approximately 90-130 thousand years ago. It
has been proposed that this event may have spread Haplogroup B throughout
Africa. Haplogroup B appears at low frequency all around Africa, but is at its
highest frequency in Pygmy populations.
- Haplogroup C is found throughout mainland Asia, the south Pacific,
and at low frequency in Native American populations. Haplogroup C originated in
southern Asia and spread in all directions. This lineage colonized New Guinea,
Australia, and north Asia, and currently is found with its highest diversity in
populations of India.
- Haplogroup C3 is believed to have originated in southeast or central
Asia. This lineage then spread into northern Asia, and then into the Americas.
- Haplogroup D2 most likely derived from the D lineage in Japan. It is
completely restricted to Japan, and is a very diverse lineage within the
aboriginal Japanese and in the Japanese population around Okinawa.
- Haplogroup E3a is an Africa lineage. It is currently hypothesized
that this haplogroup dispersed south from northern Africa within the last 3,000
years, by the Bantu agricultural expansion. E3a is also the most common lineage
among African Americans.
- Haplogroup E3b is believed to have evolved in the Middle East. It
expanded into the Mediterranean during the Pleistocene Neolithic expansion. It
is currently distributed around the Mediterranean, southern Europe, and in north
and east Africa.
- Haplogroup G may have originated in India or Pakistan, and has
dispersed into central Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. The G2 branch of this
lineage (containing the P15 mutation) is found most often in Europe and the
Middle East.
- Haplogroup H is nearly completely restricted to India, Sri Lanka, and
Pakistan.
- Haplogroups I, I1, and I1a are nearly completely restricted to
northwestern Europe. These would most likely have been common within Viking
populations. One lineage of this group extends down into central Europe.
- Haplogroup I1b was derived within Viking/Scandinavian populations in
northwest Europe and has since spread down into southern Europe where it is
present at low frequencies.
- Haplogroup J is found at highest frequencies in Middle Eastern and
north African populations where it most likely evolved. This marker has been
carried by Middle Eastern traders into Europe, central Asia, India, and
Pakistan.
- Haplogroup J2 originated in the northern portion of the Fertile
Crescent where it later spread throughout central Asia, the Mediterranean, and
south into India. As with other populations with Mediterranean ancestry this
lineage is found within Jewish populations. The Cohen modal lineage is found in
Haplogroup J2.
- Haplogroup Q is the lineage that links Asia and the Americas. This
lineage is found in North and Central Asian populations as well as native
Americans. This lineage is believed to have originated in Central Asia and
migrated through the Altai/Baikal region of northern Eurasia into the Americas.
- Haplogroup Q3 is the only lineage strictly associated with native
American populations. This haplogroup is defined by the presence of the M3
mutation (also known as SY103). This mutation occurred on the Q lineage 8-12
thousand years ago as the migration into the Americas was underway. There is
some debate as to on which side of the Bering Strait this mutation occurred, but
it definitely happened in the ancestors of the Native American peoples.
- Haplogroup R1a is believed to have originated in the Eurasian Steppes
north of the Black and Caspian Seas. This lineage is believed to have originated
in a population of the Kurgan culture, known for the domestication of the horse
(approximately 3000 B.C.E.). These people were also believed to be the first
speakers of the Indo-European language group. This lineage is currently found in
central and western Asia, India, and in Slavic populations of Eastern Europe.
- Haplogroup R1b is the most common haplogroup in European populations.
It is believed to have expanded throughout Europe as humans re-colonized after
the last glacial maximum 10-12 thousand years ago. This lineage is also the
haplogroup containing the Atlantic modal haplotype (HG1).
