Abstract excerpt
Human Y chromosome haplogroup J1-M267 is a common male lineage in West Asia. One high-frequency region-encompassing the Arabian Peninsula, southern Mesopotamia, and the southern Levant-resides ~ 2000 km away from the other one found in the Caucasus. The region between them, although has a lower frequency, nevertheless demonstrates high genetic diversity. Studies associate this haplogroup with the spread of...
