Subramaniam ji,
Please bear with me, I am only confused so I keep repeating this question, from wiki of R haplogroup:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_R_%28mtDNA%29
the distribution map of R places R1 near Turmenistan:
R1* (16278): In Kurdish from Turkmenistan (9%).[9]
R1a* (3337): Found in Brahmins from Uttar Pradesh (India).[5] Also in Adygei people (Caucasus).
R1a1: Found in Northwest Caucasian people like Kabardins and Adygei people. Observed in eastern European populations like northwestern Russians and Poles.[12]
so on one hand we know that R's diversity places R in India, yet this wiki places R1 in Turmenistan?
how can one reconcile this? kindly explain, only trying to understand. AIT/AMT adherents keep bringing this up to say that R1 actually is European even though R is in India, I am confused.
