Genographic Project, The Genetic Journey, Haplogroup X

The genetic journey continues with the results. I belong to a haplogroup which is unique in that it spans the world in small enclaves, and has survived 30,000 years, meaning that each generation has seen a daughter born to a mother.

The Solutrean hypothsis has been debunked. Haplotype X2a (What the Ojibwe have) is actually closer to Altaian Haplogroup X2 (In Siberia) than it is to any European type Haplogroup X2. THere are five unique mutations that characterize X2a. Only one of them has ever been found in an old world sample. That was one of the mutations which was found in Iran.

Yes, and have you checked the Druze population? They have X, too.

Have you seed the documentary "First Canadians"? Yes, HapX is all over Europe, but in small pockets - and very nearly everywhere. We come in larger pockets in North America, The Orkney Islands, and in the Druze tribes.

In the end, the project outlines how we are all related through our ancestors. We simply developed different looks based on our geographic placement. Like flowers growing in the garden in full sun, or shade Think

I don't know which 'race' that would be. Personally, I don't like the term 'race' because what it all comes down to, is, we are all related. Just like Darwin said, we've all adapted to our regions. That's all.

@kennedyjames007 I'm Haplo. G from my Y Chromosome DNA, where or what are people of Haplo. "G"? as in what "race" so to speak?

[TheVeraciousAxiom]

@bettacat What are Haplogroup G people? I belong to haplogroup G, which is my Y DNA...

Exciting to find your channel! I am also X, but coming from the far NW of Europe. My maternal line has been traced 5 generations back to a woman named Elizabeth Barry who lived near Bath in Somerset, England. Her daughter Sarah Jane Millard came to Australia as a teenager, and I am her great-great-great grand daughter down the female line. One article I read suggests X is found as a higher % in Age of Migrations Vikings, including those settling in the Orkneys in the far north of Britain.

@Salsassin,

The Solutrean hypothesis holds more plausible than ever because the studies that compared mitochondrial DNA in Altay people(Derenko et al)ignored several logical possibilities that involve the Altay people migrating to Siberia from Europe(Reidla et al) and the simple fact that the median graph's present very subjective parsimony estimates considering the low frequency of haplogroup X in the Altay people and the high frequency in both Basque and Ojibwe.

@ne0nsurf solutrean HYPOTHESIS has been debunked already pal.
