In human genetics, Haplogroup J-M172 or J2 [Phylogenetics 1] is a Y-chromosome haplogroup which is a subclade (branch) of haplogroup J-M304. [Phylogenetics 2] Haplogroup J-M172 is common in modern populations in Western Asia, Central Asia, South Asia, Southern Europe, Northwestern Iran and North Africa.

With a 95% probability, the most recent common ancestor of all members of haplogroup J-M172 was born between the years 29,294 and 22,034 BCE. The most likely estimate is 25,425 BCE , rounded to 25,000 BCE .

Oct 13, 2021 · The mutation that gave rise to J2 is called J-M172. Although members of both haplogroups spread along similar migration routes and continue to co-exist today, they descend from subbranches that split anciently.

In Human Genetics, J2 haplogroup (AKA J-M172) is among the most frequent Y DNA haplogroups in the Middle East and in the Arab World.

Haplogroup J-M172, also known as Haplogroup J-M304 (Y Chromosome Consortium long-form label), is a genealogical group of lineages defined by unique genetic markers present on the Y-chromosome.

The J-M172 haplogroup, also called J2-M172, is an ancient haplogroup estimated as first appearing 24,000 to 19,000 years ago but perhaps earlier. The first J2-M172 man was a member of the J-M304/P209 haplogroup, and almost certainly lived in Southwestern Asia, most likely the region of east Anatolia and south Caucasus.

Welcome to the J2-M172 Project@FTDNA! J2-M172 diversified approx. 28,000 years ago in or near Western Asia. Learn More... Goals: study the pedigree relationships (phylogeny) of J2 lineages (subclades). Assign project members down …

Current subclades (FamilyTreeDNA) and id’s (YFull YTree v11.04.00) analysis. It is biased against customers of Y-clusters or regions of which descendants do more BigY/NGS testing (Ashkenazi/Europe, Northwest Europe, Georgia, Armenia, …

If you have a FamilyTreeDNA Y-DNA kit join J2-M172@FTDNA and we will group you with kits that are nearest to you (usually Y-STR37 or 67 needed). Our focus is haplogroup research which can help to connect to the Y-history in the last 1,000 years.
