Okay: first, here is the hard data from a reliable genetic testing company: I am positive for the SNPs M201 and P15.
I have been verified as being NEGATIVE for the following SNPs:
M285
M286
M342
P16
P18
P20
The lab document only states I am a descendent of G2 - no "a" is given, just "G2"... Is this standard? It is stated I probably originate of old from Iranian and Caucasian regions... This particular information fits very well with what I know from other empirical facts concerning my "personal scientific equation"...
Based on the above data, where am I exactly? Are these common numbers...?
And once a generous soul helps determine what sub-variation of G2 I belong to (?), - I am VASTLY interested in EVERY anthropological, ethnological, etc. aspect, meaning, interpretation and significance or role of this particular lineage...
I have read science papers declaring my paternal line is "Semitic", "Indo-European" or "Kurgan", and also "Indo-Hittite" (interesting term)... There does not seem to be a very solidified consensus as to the status and development of Y-DNA G2, from my preliminary reading - is this a correct conclusion? Is this a "borderland" haplo-group...?
I shall only mention I am, anthropologically, 1) Xanthochroid, so-calledand 2) my paternal name is lower nobiliary in origin, equivalent to the feudal "castellan" and possibility of Sarmatian-knightly connections abound...
