Two New Regional Codes for Afghanistan
The trend of increasing sampling of Afghanistan continues for two updates in a row now. Last update there were also two new regional codes.
I don’t know how well the earlier subclades of R1a in Europe match to what the research community generally accepts, based on additional data that HRAS doesn’t take into account.
However, the migration eastward seems to roughly match what David Anthony had described as starting with the Fatyanovo-Balanovo culture within the wider Corded Ware complex and later resulting in the Sintashta and Andronovo cultures, the latter of which is attested in an ancient R-Z2123 sample HRR579090 from Xinjiang, China.
Another note, the sample from Kapisa is currently treated by HRAS as basal but by next update he could have been determined to be a new branch.
Kapisa is the smallest of Afghanistan’s thirty-four provinces and is located in the north-east of the country. At only 1,842 km², it’s the most densely populated province apart from Kabul Province. This sample has been marked with the Parachi language code, a language supposedly only spoken by 600 individuals.
Zabul was the other new province for YFull. Because its area at 17373 km² exceeds 10000 km², I had to enter the area into my database. This adjusts the radius for the relative frequency and diversity computation to be larger and decreases the intensity by a proportional degree so that each sample carries the same overall weight.
Both samples were downstream of the R1b-Z2123 line.
First Sample from Harara State, Ethiopia
Officially, the Harari People’s National Regional State is the smallest of Ethiopia’s regional states at 334 km². It is the homeland of the Harari people.
This is a WGS sample from Dante Labs, who is for now, at the level of E-Y5874* though I do not know whether the YFull analysis has concluded or not. His next closest male line relatives are mostly found Saudi Arabia.
From Wikipedia:
“The Harla people, an extinct Afroasiatic-speaking people native to Hararghe, are considered by most scholars to be the precursors to the Harari people.”
There are more specific details regarding their migration theory you can read at Harari People.
Ogun State, Nigeria
Ogun State is in southwestern Nigeria. It has good road and rail connections to the harbors in Lagos and Lekki and is the second most industrialized state after Lagos with a focus on metal processing.
Wole Soyinka, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature 1986, lives in Ogun.
