What about their Y haplogroup? There are reports about some rare cases of branch D0, a deep-rooting DE lineage detected in some males from Syria.

The haplogroup D, a male lineage mainly distributed in Japan, Tibet, and the Andamanese islands, is the third oldest human Y haplogroup in the world, only younger than haplogroup A and B. Considering that they entered East Asia by crossing the Iranian Plateau, and its sibling subclade...

Thanks. That's interesting, because on Wiki it says the haplogroup mutation only happens in the sperms. Do you have any source for the studies about this?

I have been wondering about this for so long. Do those haplogroup mutations usually only occur in ONE of the father's sperm cells? So you can have two brothers in the same family carrying two different Y haplogroups, even if they are biological brothers by blood, both paternally and maternally...

We don't know for sure as there are no burial sites for Assyrians monarchs available for DNA analysis. I am only speculating them being the descendants of Steppe nomads because that is the case in most of the royal tombs and archaeological sites found in Central Asian and Middle Eastern...

I think the citizens could have high J2, but the royals and nobles are likely R and Q or other steppe nomad haplogroups.

The haplogroup defining mutation usually only occur in ONE of the father's sperm cells? So you can have two brothers in a family carrying two different Y haplogroups even if they are biological brothers both paternally and maternally in every way? For example, there was a man with haplogroup K2b...

The haplogroup defining mutation usually just happens in only ONE of the father's sperms? Or it usually occur in a whole population of sperm cells inside the father's testes that affects multiple sperms?

So, I read some posts on a non-english forum that say the people from Central Asia created the Nordic culture, as Viking soldiers and elites actually belong to haplgroup R1a and haplogroup N, the Nordic runes derived from old Turkic scripts, and even the Yggdrasil tree in the Norse mythology is...

Is there any studies show that there are genes on the Y chromosome with the function to determine the maximum growth potential limit of height, frame, jaw, muscle, and brain in a person?

Wait, isn't Nikola Tesla's haplogroup R1a?

Hmm the son being shorter than the father is not a common occurrence, I don't think this has to do with the Y chromosome. In my opinion, I believe the Y chromosome doesn't affect physical appearance at all, but it has greater influence on the psychological traits like personality and behavior...

By "Appearance influences" do most of you mean the structural change of the body due to the levels of testosterone production controlled by genes on the Y chromosome? Do you think the only correlation between the Y chromosome and physical appearance is the level of testosterone production in...

Do you have the source for such study that says the Y chromosome has genes that directly determine height growth and physical build of a person(which the effect is not through testosterone level or the autosomal genes that people from that specific Y haplogroup usually carried)?
