What DNA Says About Aryan Invasion Theory -2

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Y-DNA haplogroup F is the parent of all Y-DNA haplogroups G through T and contains more than 90% of the world’s population. Haplogroup F was in the original migration out of Africa, or else it was founded soon afterward, because F and its sub-haplogroups are primarily found outside, with very few inside, sub-Saharan Africa. The founder of F could have lived between 60,000 and 80,000 years ago, depending on the time of the out-of-Africa migration.

The major sub-groups of Haplogroup F are Haplogroups G, H, [IJ], and K, which are discussed elsewhere at this site. T<b>he minor sub-groups, F*, F1, and F2 have not been well studied, but apparently occur only infrequently and primarily in the Indian subcontinent.</b> F* has been observed in two individuals in Portugal, possibly representing a remnant of 15th and 16th century contact of Portugal with India.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Y-chromosome Haplogroup F is a large “macrohaplogroup” that includes much of the world’s population. Nearly all of that population is in further derived sub-haplogroups defined by downstream singlenucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). <b>Only in India have significant numbers of people been reported to be in the root of Haplogroup F, </b>that is, in Haplogroup F, but not having any downstream SNP mutations (Kivisild et al. 2003) defining the present Y phylogenetic tree. The haplogroup for such individuals would properly be called
Haplogroup F*. link<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
