Information AboutHaplogroup Q (y-dna) |
|
This haplogroup contains the patrilineal ancestors of many Siberians and (through its subgroup Q3 ) almost all of the Indigenous Peoples Of The Americas . Haplogroup Q is a branch of Haplogroup P (M45). It is believed to have arisen in Siberia approximately 15,000 to 20,000 years ago. The initial Migration From Asia Into Alaska Across The Bering Strait was done by haplogroup Q populations, approximately 15,000 years ago. This founding population spread throughout the Americas. Once in the Americas, haplogroup Q underwent a mutation, producing its descendant Haplogroup Q3 (M3), which is the Y-chromosome haplotype of almost all of the Indigenous Peoples Of The Americas .
