[QUOTE]Originally posted by mightywolf: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Elijah The Tishbite: .......So the high J in Ethiopians is not an African specific clade, but is instead due to founder effect? I'm just trying to figure out the reason for the high frequency of J in the Horn. I know the J in Sudan is due to recent immigration from Arabs, ditto for North Africans, but from I understand Ethiopians don't have their J from the same source populations [/QB][/QUOTE]The Y-DNA J1 is from the Caucasus Mountains, or the northwesterly mountains of Iran (Zagros). The fact is that migrants from Yemen and South Arabia brought lineages like J1 and T to Ethiopia or the Horn of Africa. Furthermore, given the frequency of Y-DNA J among Ethio-Semite populations, it makes sense that Ethio-Semite populations received an additional 20%–25% Semitic/Arabic admixture 3000 years ago. According to Coon, this is a Yemeni soldier from the tribe of Khaulan, which goes back historically to Sabaean times. Metrically a perfect Mediterranean central type, this individual possesses a thin, aquiline nose of a type found frequently but by no means exclusively among Arabs. So, people like this individual here: [IMG]https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.xpjRPEDF4jZXIVfbE18jBAHaFj?pid=ImgDet&w=240&h=180&c=7[/IMG] migrated to modern-day Eritrea and the Northern Highlands of Ethiopia, where they intermarried with the local Cushitic people, giving rise to the current Ethio-Semite population. [b]Besides the hg J* or basal J in Socotra, they are likely all J1. There have been numerous studies on mainland Yemen, and no J* has been found using more advanced SNP panels.[/b] [/QB][/QUOTE]
