3 New Regional Codes for Colombia

2 New Regional Codes for Turkey

The first sample from Kastamonu Province, Turkey descends from a prolific lineage of L known as L-PH438 that appears to have began diversifying in the region around 2800 years ago.

The first sample from Aydın Province, Turkey is basal for 8300 year old J2a-Y14696, a subclade of J2a-L25. That means he is equally distantly related to both child lineages J2a-Y14699 and J2a-F3369.

No New Regional Codes for J2b

This is the first update where I have noticed that J2b doesn’t have a new regional code. Maybe next update we’ll see some new regions represented for this geographically diverse yet originally West Asian haplogroup with oldest ancient samples so far found restricted to the western Zagros Mountains of Iran, Azerbaijan and Georgia.

These posts are the opinion of Hunter Provyn, a haplogroup researcher in J-M241 and J-M102.
