My pleasure,
Of course, as am I with J2, I did BigY and transferred my results to Yfull in August, I just got my Str results 2 days ago, J2 has many subclades and I think it hard to pinpoint one exact location for all of them, there is definitely a migration of J2 to the Caucasus. I have formulated for the L210 and Pre-L210 lineages and the down streams, Pre-L210 kits (they have all the upstreams but are negative for L210) seem to be either Lebanese or Syrian, L210 and down streams have a much wider diversity. What did this paper say for T? Haplogroup T fascinates me, I find it a very interesting haplogroup.
It said nothing about T in Arabia
There are only 94 samples which are T in the 8500 samples tested:
21 in Armenia
21 in Turkey
13 in Lebanon
7 in Iran
5 in Caucasus
5 in Egypt
3 came from Europe
7 south levant
and 9 others
zero samples are anywhere near my markers.........closest is an Iranian who matches me only in 9 of 12 STR
That is very interesting, your branch must be an older branch that went into europe earlier, even at 9 of 12 str that is very distant. Did they test further snps?
Interesting, where are the T1b samples from? Never heard of that one before.
Thanks! Are these actually confirmed M70- by SNP testing?T1b samples are from:
1.1.1 Druzes from Mount Lebanon, Beirut, Lebanon, Assyut Upper Egypt and Iberian-american from Córdoba, Colombia. This could be a first group. 1.1.2 A possible subgroup found in Syria.
1.2 A possible second group found among Berbers from Sejnane, Tunisia.
2.1 A possible third group and possibly most basally splitted found among Orthodox Christians in Macedonia.
Thanks! Are these actually confirmed M70- by SNP testing?
I can clearly see that the LT or L and T individualy origin in europe, is an eurocentric thing right here... For alpide belt, alpine term is not false, just unusual, in french we say Ceinture Alpine, and english dont have the monopole of terms, neither of scientific behavior. I dont understand, the way you thinking, for you, its like eurasia was a crossroads, where every tribes go on and on, and salute themselves... J haplogroups is wide spread, maybe because he is one of the real neolithic signal, like R1 because they were unusualy nomadic, being nomad in a mountaneous region like iranian plateau and nomad in a flat steppe, its not the same.
Alpine and alpide belt are different
Basically what we are saying is that when man crossed from Africa through the arabian peninsula , it crossed under the haplogroup termed CF , when haplogroup F was "born" it was born north of the alpide belt.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_F-M89
So , every haplogroup group which originates from haplogroup F , originates north of the Alpide belt
The zargos mountains is also the divide for the alpide belt
and
Mesopotamia and the fertile crescent people, originate from north of the alpide belt
Arabian peninsula was populated by haplogroups that originate north of the alpide belt
the only halpogroups which originate with a possibility of south of the alpide belt are under this

What ?!? Alpine or Alpide belt are the same thing, or you talk something different than me. Your idea of spread of haplogroups is strange. Do you know that a population can have, especially in early upper paleolithic, a large scale of haplogroups, but being a same population ? North of the Alpide Belt in a eurasian context, means the eurasian steppe, so you think every modern humans descending from F-M89 come from the eurasian steppe ? You talk about arabian peninsula, but there is also india. Wich shows clearly the world highest haplogroups and genetic diversification of the world, there is even strange haplogroups, non repertoriate, without specific clade in india. But i was talking, for the recent 10'000 years, where F,G,H are clearly basal eurasian ON the alpide belt ( Anatolia, Iranian Plateau ) and Q, R in the eurasian steppe. I in europe and J around the caucasus in maybe in some pockets. Everything change after, like history show us, migration, demic and cultural diffusion....
I personally think T originated in the Alpide belt, and that Sile has it right, interestingly too I believe T might have been a major haplogroup of the ancient Mesopotamian peoples, specifically the Sumerians.
The domain extension of the pic and link posted was .org
I replaced it with .cc
ps I thought that one of the T1a1 branch migrated back in to Europe crossing through Gibraltar and going in to Spain, all the way up in to Wales and England. ???
