if you wanna create your own people

which hablogroup you would use? i think i would mixed c + d + o + q

There is no super-people. This concept harks back to social darwinism, pseudo-scientific racism, eugenics and

Secondly, and most decisively, it is just IMPOSSIBLE to mix Y-DNA haplogroups in just one person. First of all, those haplogroups you are referring to exist only in males, who are the only humans who have a Y chromosome. And each man only inherits one and exclusively one haplogroup marker from his father, nothing else. You just can't take a bit of C and then mix with a bit of Q and so on, it just does not happen, because each of those letters functions as a label to exactly one set of mutations in the Y chromosome that is inherited from father to son along the generations. They do not mix. If we could eventually mix them, we'd just have a new set of mutations and label them by another distinct letter (e.g. Z).

Besides, haplogroups are not distinct genetic admixtures, haplogroups do not determine one's entire ancestry at all, haplogroups don't even have that much relevance in the consolidation of most phenotypical characteristics of a person (if they did, you could bet that men and women would look and think much more different than they actually do).

I think you're overestimating in an extremely exaggerated way what haplogroups really mean and how much they determine people's phenotype, including intelligence and "civilization" (actually there is no genetic trait directly and solely linked with "being civilized", our genome existed for thousands and thousands of years before any full-fledged civilization).

So, in my opinion, this question makes no sense and, in fact, sounds not only very ignorant and deluded, but also a bit supremacist/racist.

why racist? the question is kind of nonsense with the haplopgroups. but seems like people are still extremely sensitive when it comes to genetics. but it couls ask you an other question. what genes would you use to create your own "superhuman"?
is that racist? i don't think so.

This is not the sub-forum for this kind of thread! Stop doing that!

Also stop with the provocative statements. I saw what you wrote prior to your edit.
