In this episode, you can check the current distribution of Y-DNA haplogroup J1
by country and the famous individuals belonging to J1.
Also, through the phylogenetic tree of Haplogroup J1,
the time of occurrence and prominent formation places of descendants by era are introduced
Finally, the ancient DNA of J1 was mapped by period.
In this episode,
I introduce the Y-chromosome haplogroup J.
Haplogroup J is I's brother,
and their direct ancestor is IJ.
J formed about 42900 years ago.
The most likely region of origin is Western Asia.
When the Y-chromosome haplogroups are formed in order,
it is like the tree you see on the screen.
The oldest haplogroup is A
The next oldest are B, D, and E.
youngest haplogroup is the R,
now the most common in Europe.
Haplogroup J is the middle of these major haplogroups.
Its SNP is M304.
Haplogroup J was also found in mummies excavated at Abusir el-Meleq,
an archaeological site from the New Kingdom period in Egypt.
It is now found with the highest frequency among the Ingush and Chechen peoples.
I will introduce J1 first and J2 in the following video in this episode.
Subclades of J include paragroups J, J1, and J2.
J * has not yet been assigned a specific mark.
The J1 is also referred to as the J-M267.
It is believed to have first appeared in Western Asia 31600 years ago.
The Time to the most recent common ancestor, or TMRCA,
was 18300 years ago.
First, let's look at the current distribution and phylogenetic trees of J-M267.
Let's look at the current distribution first.
Data on the current distribution refer to Wikipedia and Eupedia.
Let's see the frequency through the map.
Today, Haplogroup J1 is found in significant proportions in the Arabian Peninsula and Western Asia.
The country where Haplogroup J1 is found the highest is Yemen,
72%.
Qatar follows it at 58%,
Iraq at 43%,
Saudi Arabia at 40%,
and Palestine at 38.5%.
It is found with relatively high frequency in Arab countries.
Europe is relatively rare.
What is unusual is that the ratio is elevated outside the Asian continent in Sudan,
parts of the Caucasus, Ethiopia,and North Africa.
J-M267 is found at a very high frequency in Kubachi,
Kaitak Dargins, Avars, and Lezghins living in the Caucasus.
J-M267 also occurs at a high rate of 74.3% in people from the Khartoum region of Sudan.
The Benghazi area of ​​Libya is also where many people with the J-M267 are found
39.5%.
High levels of J1 DNA are also observed in Jews.
J-M267 was observed in 19% of Ashkenazi Jews
and 22% Sephardic Jews.
It can be seen that the ancestors of Arabs were people with J1 DNA.
Then, before looking at the phylogenetic trees and migration routes of haplogroup J to find out their origins,
let's look at some famous individuals with J1 DNA.
Among the movie stars admired by many fans,
Jewish actor and film director Dustin Hoffman has J1 DNA.
He is an Ashkenazi Jews.
He has won two Academy Awards,
was nominated for five additional awards
and won six Golden Globes out of 13 nominations.
Among the many films he appeared in, 1973's Papillon and 1988's Rain Man stand out.
He is known to belong to haplogroup J1-Z18271.
It matches Aron's Y-chromosomal lineage.
Z18271 is believed to have formed west of the Black Sea during the Neolithic.
Another celebrity belonging to the J1 Haplogroup is the House of Saud,
the royal family of Saudi Arabia.
The present Saudi royal family is descended from Muhammad bin Saud,
founder of the Emirate of Diriyah,
known as the First Saudi State (1744-1818).
These have been identified as belonging to J-FGC2.
This haplogroup is thought to have formed in the Arabian Peninsula during the Bronze Age.
Another Arab belonging to J1 is Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
He is Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates
and Ruler of the Emirates of Dubai.
In the J1 Y-DNA project,
several members of the Al-Falasi family,
the ruling royal family of Dubai, belong to J1.
His J1 SNP is FGC4465.
He is responsible for growing Dubai into a global city and launching several major companies,
including Emirates Airline, DP World , and Jumeirah Group.
Sheikh Mohammed oversaw the development of numerous projects in Dubai,
including creating the Technology Park and Free Economic Zone,
Dubai Internet City, Dubai Media City,
Dubai International Financial Center, Palm Island,
and Burj Al Arab Hotel.
He also led the construction of the world's tallest building,
the Burj Khalifa.
The Clan Grahams are a Scottish clan of Anglo-Norman descent who settled in Scotland in the 12th century.
The clan chief was given the titles of Sir Graham (1445),
then Earl of Montrose (1503), Marquis of Montrose (1644),
and finally Duke of Montrose from 1707 to the present day.
The Clan Graham DNA project confirmed that the ancestral Graham lineage belongs to J1a-P58.
Additionally,
the modern Merriam-Webster dictionary was named after American lexicographer, textbook pioneer,
and English spelling reformer Noah Webster
1758-1843
possibly having haplogroup J1-BY161126 Y-DNA.
The Hashemites are also the royal family of th e Hejaz
1916-1925),
Iraq (1921-1958),
and Jordan (1921-present)
It has the L859 downstream of the FGC12.
The Qajar dynasty,
an Iranian royal family that ruled Persia from 1785 to 1925, belonged to the Haplogroup J1.
The box of phylogenetic trees of J1 contains haplogroup subclades and SNP information.
The information below the box indicates the most likely time of formation
and shows the Time to the most recent common ancestor.
Red boxes indicate Main subclades.
In addition, the region where the SNP is believed to have appeared first is in the text above the box.
I will now map the ancient Y-DNA haplogroups J and J1.
Haplogroup J2 will be introduced in another episode.
Red dots and white labels indicate ancient DNA before 2000 BCE.
From 2000 BCE to BCE,
they were marked with blue dots and white labels.
After CE,
they were marked with black dots and brown labels.
So far, we have introduced the Y-DNA haplogroup J1.
In the next episode, J2 will be presented.
