J2 Population Size Estimates

[RHAS]

The purpose of this document is a global understanding of the J2 Y-DNA population size. Haplogroup frequencies taken from Eupedia.com. (Frequencies at Eupedia are compiled from different sources, reliability and sample size varies.) Population data taken from wikipedia.com. (Mostly 2012 data, when not available data from older dates is used.) Calculations were made assuming a 50/50 male-female ratio in each country.

J2 in Bulgaria is not 15.5% at all, it is 10.5%

[RHAS]

At the time this document was created it was 15.5%, atleast according to eupedia. Currently its at 11% not 10.5%.

Wrong, here is the truth http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6Bq0iUu8AQ...56779.g002.png

[RHAS]

This document was created using Eupedia data, and it clearly says so in the beginning of the document. Im not really sure what youre trying to disprove here. The real truth is that untill we discover the Y-DNA haplogroup of every single Bulgarian alive today nobody can make a definitive claim of "truth" regarding the countries DNA frequencies.

Thank you for sharing this and the other background info!
It would be interesting to have South and Central Asia J2 included (Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, etc.) since these countries have fairly high percentages and diversity. However for example in India with the ca. 1/6 of the World population, there are probably no studies comprehensive enough to get the correct Y-diversity percentages.
