Haplogroup HIJK

Haplogroup HIJK
Possible time of origin

approx. 45,000-50,000 BCE

(i.e. similar to estimates for Haplogroups GHIJK, H and IJK)
Possible place of origin South West Asia or South Asia
Ancestor Haplogroup GHIJK
Descendants H, IJK
Defining mutations F929/M578/PF3494/S6397[1]

Haplogroup HIJK, defined by the SNPs F929, M578, PF3494 and S6397,[1] is a common Y-chromosome haplogroup. Like its parent macrohaplogroup GHIJK, Haplogroup HIJK and its subclades comprise the vast majority of the world's male population.

HIJK branches subsequently into two direct descendants: IJK (L15/M523/PF3492/S137) and H (L901/M2939). IJK in turn splits into IJ (F-L15) and K (M9). The descendants of Haplogroup IJ are haplogroups I and J, while Haplogroup K is, ultimately, the ancestor of major haplogroups M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, L, and T.

Distribution

The basal paragroup HIJK* has not been identified in living males or ancient remains.

Populations with high proportions of males who belong to descendant major haplogroups of Haplogroup HIJK live across widely dispersed areas and populations.

South Asia was where Haplogroup H (L901/M2939) almost certainly originated, and became concentrated before the mass migrations of the modern era. South Asia was also where two haplogroups descended ultimately from IJK (L15/M523/PF3492/S137) remained concentrated and/or prominent, namely Haplogroups L and R.

Males belonging to other subclades of IJK are concentrated in:
