Origin of Native American and Y-DNA Haplogroup Q

This episode introduces the birth and spread of Y-DNA haplogroup Q, which makes up the core patrilineal lineages of Native Americans.

I am a Turkmen and used to work for an international company in Turkmenistan with colleagues coming from all parts of the world. Once I saw a new guy in the office and greeted him in Turkmen as I had no doubts he was Turkmen since he looked very much like one. He replied to me in English which was surprising. Then I found out the guy was from Colombia and a native Colombian. I was really amazed at how we Turkmens and natives of Americas look like each other even though our ancestors splitted up a few thousand years ago. Also, scholars made comparison of various languages of North American natives with Turkic languages and found at least a few dozens of similar words.

I've recently watched a cultural music video from Yakutsia and was in awe, how much it reminded me of Native American experiences - even the costumes, the mimicking of animal voices, as well as names!

This production and information is priceless! Thank you!

This is the 'topic' that's the most important today in my opinion. Finding geographical origins through genetics. This is it!

I think it has been underestimated how plausible coastal travel along ice sheets is. With access to fish and seals plus sheltered places on ice shelves to camp, drift wood for small fires and the ability to use boats as tents… it may not have been ideal but it was definitely workable. I think that for years people just saw ice projections on a map of ancient land and assumed: “Yup, that’s blocked off. No one travelling there.” But the facts on the ground (water) can often surprise you, especially where humans are involved.

The Turks originated in this region. Near the Altay mountains. The Turks say that the Native Americans are related to them, like the Innuit. This confirms it

I am a turkish guy from turkey who have asiatic apperance and nomadic background. One my turkmen friend said me you are from yomut. i didnt understand it but when i searched actually one of main dna's which is makes turks is Q is their main dna. Also closest variant of its R so it explains why we looks asiatic apperance but seems closer to russkies. Hmm.. I didnt done dna tests yet.

11:00 Clovis, New Mexico is much further southwest of your map location.

That route 11 journey looks really hard. Years spent migrating next to a 3 mile high glacier in furs and skins while eking out a hunter gatherer existence. Life expectancy must have been really short.

Can you do an episode of Y Haplogroup A, which you showed in every episode as the father of all haplogroups, and only exists in Khoisan people today?

This explains why when I first had my DNA chart done I had 55% Russian Siberian land bridge and in updates Chile & Costa Rican native DNA in it too.

The dating of the arrival of humans into the continent will be pushed back to 22, 000-24, 000 by the preserved foot prints in New Mexico.

Ciprian Ardelean, an archaeologist at the Autonomous University of Zacatecas (Mexico), and his colleagues, the new paper suggests people were living in central Mexico at least 26, 500 years ago.

It's all crazy. I did my DNA and been working on it for about 2 years. I am a product of the golden Mongolian horde. The Turkic people are a mix of European Asians over time. Some of them stayed and some of them came to America. I match the Kennewick man. I am related to Greenland indigenous. The Scottish really are a mash up of Hungarian Khan conquerors and warriors from atila to Genghis Khan. I do not register as a Q type. But my DNA works out to Uygur Colville Indo-Aryan lots of R1a and R1b-H- O- but starts with jomon yayoi and branches out from there. We are nomadic.

What happened with the Tepexpan Man found in 1945 in a small town from Venta de Carpio on the Laredo highway to Teotihuacan? They also found an imperial mammoth. Are the remains around for DNA testing? Curious as what happened to does finds.

At 10:55 where the reference to Clovis New Mexico is made and a portion of the United states map is highlighted there is a major difference between what I interpreted as the location in mention and where Clovis really is on the map

Great movie! Thank you very much. Let me know a lot interesting things.
When will you introduce the process of spreading Y-DNA Q to Asia and Europe?

My mother found some arrowheads in North Carolina and the museum dated them to 8000 BC

Hello from Suwannee County Florida ✨️ 😊

Nice video. Good synopsis but glossed over the migration to south America and back into the Caribbean. For a good read and in many ways more thorough discussion of the entire topic, read Origin: A Genetic History of the Americas.
