[QUOTE]Originally posted by prmiddleeastern: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: But now that you mentioned it, 1)What evidence do you have that suggests K2 emerged in your so-called "West Asia"; where specifically in that area, and in which specific population?[/QUOTE] http://www.eupedia.com/europe/origins_haplogroups_europe.shtml#T [QUOTE]T is a rare haplogroup in Europe (less than 1% of the population). It originated around the Red Sea (maybe in Ethiopia) at least 30,000 years ago, making it one of the oldest haplogroups found in Eurasia. It is most common in north-east Africa and the west coast of the Arabian peninsula, where it accounts for approximately 5 to 8% of the male lineages. Besides these regions and Europe, T is found as far as southern India, Russia, Tanzania and Cameroon. Its highest density is actually found among the Fulbe people of Cameroon (18% of the population). Within Europe there are a few pockets with surprisingly high densities of haplogroup T, like the town of Sciacca in Sicily (18%), on the Spanish island of Ibiza (17%) or Serbia (7%). The populations of Italy, Portugal, Greece, and (oddly enough) Estonia, all have between 3 and 4% of haplogroup T. The spread of haplogroup T in Europe is closely linked to the expansion of E1b1b from Egypt and the Near East to the Balkans and Danube basin. Its presence around the Mediterranean can be attributed to the Phoenicians colonisation (1200-800 BCE). The pocket in Estonia might be due to a founder effect in the region's Jewish population. Among famous people, Thomas Jefferson belonged to haplogroup T.[/QUOTE]I found this new origin information on this site, you are right about the Native African origin of this haplogroup, this suggests it moved to Eurasia from Ethiopia. 2) [QUOTE]When did it emerge; were "white people" around then, and if so, according to what tangible evidence?[/QUOTE]There were pigmented caucasians(mediteranean phenotype)but in the case of T, as the "new" origins say, they were Native African. 3) [QUOTE]Just because some non-African group presumably happens to share a clade, makes it "white ancestry"; on what planet does that make sense?[/QUOTE]It is the origin of the clade that makes its ancestry. [QUOTE]"West Asians" share P2 markers with mainland Africans; does this then make P2 "white ancestry", per your reasoning?[/QUOTE]It depends were P2 originated. ---- [QUOTE]Ps - I know that you probably won't learn this from browsing wikipedia, but Fulani are not confined to one region; rather they are spread across western Africa, with some refuge in Sudan. So a small Fulani sample in say, Cameroon, is not the sum total of what Fulani is in Cameroon itself, let alone elsewhere. An no, they don't live amidst settler "white caucasoids". Have you learned something new today? I hope so. [/QB][/QUOTE]Yes, about the African origin of Y-DNA T. [/QB][/QUOTE]
