In [[human genetics]], '''Haplogroup I-M170''' is a [[Human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup|Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup]], a subgroup of [[haplogroup IJ (Y-DNA)|haplogroup IJ]], itself a derivative of [[Haplogroup IJK (Y-DNA)|Haplogroup IJK]].

Y-DNA Haplogroup I-M170 is predominantly a European haplogroup and it is considered as the only native European Haplogroup.<ref>http://www.cell.com/ajhg/abstract/S0002-9297(07)62002-3?cc=y</ref> It can be found in the majority of present-day European populations with peaks in some Northern and South-Eastern European countries where the total population is small in comparison with European standards. Consequently, the haplogroup represents not more than one-fifth of the population of Europe, being the continent's second major Y-DNA haplogroup behind [[Haplogroup R (Y-DNA)|Haplogroup R]]. Haplogroup I-M170 Y-chromosomes have also been found among some populations of the [[Near East]], the [[Caucasus]], Northeast Africa and [[Central Siberia]]. The haplogroup reaches its maximum frequency in the [[Dinaric Alps]] (with the highest concentration in present-day [[Bosnia and Herzegovina]]).

It would seem to be that different episodes of populace movement had impacted [[Southeast Europe]], as well as the role of the [[Balkans]] as a long-standing corridor to Europe from [[Southwestern Asia]] is shown by the phylogenetic unification of Hgs I and J by the basal M429 mutation. This proof of common ancestry suggests that ancestral Hgs IJ-M429* probably would have entered Europe through the Balkan track sometime before the LGM. They then subsequently split into Hg J and Hg I in Southwestern Asia and Europe in a typical disjunctive phylogeographic pattern. Such a geographic hall{{Clarify|reason=What is a "geographic hall"?|date=June 2014}} is prone to have encountered extra consequent gene streams, including the horticultural settlers. Moreover, the unification of haplogroups IJK creates evolutionary distance from F–H delegates, as well as supporting the inference that both IJ-M429 and KT-M9 arose closer to Southwestern Asia than Central or Eastern Asia. Y-chromosomes F-M89* and IJ-M429* were reported to have been observed in the [[Iranian plateau]] (Grugni et al. 2012).

In human genetics, Haplogroup I-M170 is a Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup, a subgroup of Haplogroup IJ, itself a derivative of Haplogroup IJK. I-M170 is one of the most numerous haplogroups among European males.[1] It can be found in most present-day European populations, with peaks in some Northern European and Southeastern European countries. Consequently, the haplogroup represents up to one-fifth of the male population of Europe, being the continent's second major Y-DNA haplogroup behind Haplogroup R. Haplogroup I-M170 Y-chromosomes have also been found among some populations of the Near East, the Caucasus, Northeast Africa and Central Siberia. The haplogroup reaches its maximum frequency in the Dinaric Alps (with the highest concentration in present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina).

A European point of origin for I-M170 is generally proposed. However, the concentration of its sibling Haplogroup J (M304) in South West Asia, and the discovery in 2012 of living examples of Haplogroup IJ* in Iran, may imply that all three haplogroups originated closer to Anatolia and/or the Caucasus.[2]


Origins

Migration of Cro-Magnons in Europe, based on simulation by Currat & Excoffier (2004)
(YBP=Years Before Present)
Up to 37,500 YBP
Up to 35,000 YBP
Up to 32,500 YBP
Up to 30,000 YBP
European LGM refuges, 20 kya.
  Solutrean and Proto-Solutrean Cultures
  Epi-Gravettian Culture

Haplogroup IJ, carried by the Cro-Magnons was moving to Europe from the Middle East between 40,000 and 30,000 years ago. The TMRCA (time to most recent common ancestor) for the I clade was estimated by Karafet and colleagues in 2008 as 22.2 k.a. (22,200 years ago) with a confidence interval between 15.3-30.0 ka.,[3] placing the Haplogroup I-M170 founding event approximately contemporaneous with the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) which lasted from 26.5 ka to 19 or 20 ka.[4] The TMRCA is an estimate of the time of subclade divergence. Rootsi and colleagues in 2004 also note two other dates for a clade, age of STR variation, and time since population divergence. These last two dates are roughly associated, and occur somewhat after subclade divergence. For Haplogroup I-M170 they estimate time to STR variation as 24±7.1 ky and time to population divergence as 23±7.7 ky.[5] These estimates are consistent with those of Karafet 2008 cited above. However Underhill and his colleagues calculate the time to subclade divergence of I1 and I2 to be 28.4±5.1 ky, though they calculate the STR variation age of I1 at only 8.1±1.5 kya.[6]

Haplogroup I is Europe's oldest major Y-DNA haplogroup.[7] [unreliable source?] Genes for blue eyes such as OCA2 were present on Mesolithic European carriers of haplogroup I, while another typical European feature, red hair, had not been present in Europe until the Bronze Age when Haplogroup R1b carriers began spreading it.[8][unreliable source?]

Semino (2000) speculated that the initial dispersion of this population corresponds to the diffusion of the Gravettian culture.[9] Rootsi and colleagues in 2004 suggested that each of the ancestral populations now dominated by a particular subclade of Haplogroup I-M170 experienced an independent population expansion immediately after the last glacial maximum.[5]

In 2016, the 31,210-34,580 year old remains of a hunter gatherer from Paglicci was found with haplogroup I.[10]

It would seem to be that separate waves of population movement impacted Southeastern Europe. The role of the Balkans as a long-standing corridor to Europe from Southwestern Asia is shown by the phylogenetic origins of Haplogroups I and J in the parent haplogroup IJ and the M429 mutation. This common ancestry suggests that subclades of the ancestral Haplogroup IJ-M429 probably entered Europe through the Balkans sometime before the Last Glacial Maximum. I and J were subsequently distributed in Asia and Europe in a disjunctive phylogeographic pattern typical of "sibling" haplogroups. A natural geographical corridor like the Balkans is likely to have been used later by members of other subclades of IJ, as well as other haplogroups, including Early European Farmers.

The discovery of Haplogroup IJK – the ancestor of both haplogroups IJ and K (M9) – and its evolutionary distance from other subclades of Haplogroup F (M89), supports the inference that both IJ-M429 and K-M9 arose in Southwestern Asia. Living carriers of F-M89* and IJ-M429* have been reported in the Iranian plateau.[11]

The northern coverage area is mainly composed of the related I-M253 (I1) while I-M438 (I2) dominates in the south; both descendants of Haplogroup I-M170.

Distribution

The following figures include all subclades. The greatest density of Haplogoup I is to be found in Bosnia and Herzegovina 65%,[12] i.e. Bosnian Serbs 31%, Bosniaks 44-50.1%[13][14] and Bosnian Croats 71-73%.[14] Other higher than average densities occur in Croatia 38%[12][15][16] - 44%,[14] Hvar 66%,[15] Korčula 54%,[15] Serbia 36.28%[12] - 48%,[17] Romania 33%,[18] however increasing in historical (on both shores of river Prut) Moldavia 48%, Norway 40%,[16][19] 23.6% of German males carry the haplogroup I mutation[20] (highest frequency in Northern Germany 37.5%[9]), Sardinia 37%[21] (42%[16]), Sweden (North 26%,[16] Gotland & Värmland 50%[22]), Denmark 39%,[16][23] Montenegro 37%,[17] Iceland 33%, and West Finland 41%, though the figure drops in East Finland to 20%.[24]

Average densities occur in Macedonia 34%,[12] Bulgaria 28%,[25] Albania 25%,[26] Hungary 11%[9] Lapland 28%,[27] Netherlands 25%, England 20% and Poland 18-20%.[16][28]

Within Europe, several populations are distinguished by having a significantly lower frequency of Haplogroup I-M170 than the surrounding populations: Italy and Switzerland have lower levels than Germany and Sardinia, Iberia has a lower density than southern France and Normandy, Greece has a lower level than Albania and the Slavic peoples, while the Baltic-speaking Latvians have a lower level than the Finnic-speaking Estonians.[citation needed] In all these areas, Haplogroup I-M170 populations are small relative to the dominant haplogroups in Europe (R1b in Western Europe, R1a1 in Eastern Europe, and N in Northeastern Europe).[citation needed]

Note that the naming of some of the subgroups has changed, as new markers have been identified, and the sequence of mutations has become clearer..

I-M170

The composite subclade I-M170 contains individuals directly descended from the earliest members of Haplogroup I, bearing none of the subsequent mutations which identify the remaining named subclades.

Several haplogroup I*-M170 individuals who do not fall in known subclades, with some of the greatest Y-STR diversity, have significantly been found among the populations of Turkey (8/741), Adygea (2/138), and Iraq (1/176),even though as a whole Haplogroup I-M170 occurs at only very low frequencies among modern populations of the Middle East and Caucasus. This is consistent with the belief that the haplogroup first appeared in that region. Overall, the highest frequencies of Haplogroup I*-M170 appear to be found among the Andalusians (3/103), French (4/179), Slovenians (2/55), Tabassarans (1/30)[32] and the Saami (1/35). [1] The greatest figure so far for I* was among the Laks in Dagestan, at a rate of (3/21).[32]

Neither study from which the previous figures were drawn excluded the present I2-M438 clade as a whole, but only certain subclades, so this I* may or may not belong to I2. A single Hazara from Afghanistan was found to carry I* excluding both I1-M253 and I2-M438.[33]

I1-M253

Density map of HG I1. The darkest areas approach only around 45% of the population.

Haplogroup I1-M253 (M253, M307, P30, P40) displays a very clear frequency gradient, with a peak frequency of approximately 35% among the populations of southern Norway, southwestern Sweden, and Denmark, and rapidly decreasing frequencies toward the edges of the historically Germanic-influenced world. A notable exception is Finland, where frequency in West Finns is up to 40%, and in certain provinces like Satakunta more than 50%.

Outside Fennoscandia, distribution of Haplogroup I1-M253 is closely correlated with that of Haplogroup I2a2-M436; but among Scandinavians (including both Germanic and Uralic peoples of the region) nearly all the Haplogroup I-M170 Y-chromosomes are I1-M253. Another characteristic of the Scandinavian I1-M253 Y-chromosomes is their rather low haplotype diversity (STR diversity): a greater variety of Haplogroup I1-M253 Y-chromosomes has been found among the French and Italians, despite the much lower overall frequency of Haplogroup I1-M253 among the modern French and Italian populations.

I2-M438

File:I2 Haplogroup.gif
Haplogroup I-M438 reaches its maximum frequency in the Dinaric Alps, where the men are on record as being the tallest in the world, with a male average height of 185.6 cm (6 ft 1.1 in).[34]

Haplogroup I2-M438, previously I1b, may have originated in southern Europe – it is now found at its highest frequencies in the western Balkans and Sardinia – some 15,000 - 17,000 years ago and developed into three main subgroups : I2-M438*, I2a-L460, I2b-L415 and I2c-L596.

I2a1a-M26

Haplogroup I2a1a-M26 is notable for its strong presence in Sardinia. Haplogroup I-M170 comprises approximately 40% of all patrilines among the Sardinians, and I2a1a-M26 is the predominant type of I among them.

Haplogroup I2a1a-M26 is practically absent east of France and Italy,[35] while it is found at low but significant frequencies outside of Sardinia in the Balearic Islands, Castile-León, the Basque Country, the Pyrenees, southern and western France, and parts of the Maghreb in North Africa, Great Britain, and Ireland. Haplogroup I2a1a-M26 appears to be the only subclade of Haplogroup I-M170 found among the Basques, but appears to be found at somewhat higher frequencies among the general populations of Castile-León in Spain and Béarn in France than among the population of ethnic Basques.[citation needed] The M26 mutation is found in native males inhabiting every geographic region where megaliths may be found, including such far-flung and culturally disconnected regions as the Canary Islands, the Balearic Isles, Corsica, Ireland, and Sweden.[35]

The distribution of I2a1a-M26 also mirrors that of the Atlantic Bronze Age cultures, which indicates a potential spread via the obsidian trade or a regular maritime exchange of some of metallurgical products.[35]

I2a1b-M423

Haplogroup I2a1b-M423 is the most frequent Y-chromosome Haplogroup I-M170 in Central and Eastern European populations, reaching its peak in the Western Balkans, most notably in Dalmatia (50-60%[12]) and Bosnia-Herzegovina (up to 71%,[13] avg. 40-50%[12]). A greater variance of this group has been found in Ireland and Great Britain, but overall frequency is very low (2-3%). Haplogroup I2a1b-M423 is virtually absent in Fennoscandia, Western and Southwestern Europe.

I2a2-M436

The distribution of Haplogroup I2a2-M436 (M436/P214/S33, P216/S30, P217/S23, P218/S32) is closely correlated to that of Haplogroup I1 except in Fennoscandia, which suggests that it was probably harbored by at least one of the Paleolithic refuge populations that also harbored Haplogroup I1-M253; the lack of correlation between the distributions of I1-M253 and I2a2-M436 in Fennoscandia may be a result of Haplogroup I2a2-M436's being more strongly affected in the earliest settlement of this region by founder effects and genetic drift due to its rarity, as Haplogroup I2a2-M436 comprises less than 10% of the total Y-chromosome diversity of all populations outside of Lower Saxony. Haplogroup I2a2-M436 has been found in over 4% of the population only in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, England (not including Cornwall), Scotland, and the southern tips of Sweden and Norway in Northwest Europe; the provinces of Normandy, Maine, Anjou, and Perche in northwestern France; the province of Provence in southeastern France; the regions of Tuscany, Umbria, and Latium in Italy; and Moldavia and the area around Russia's Ryazan Oblast and Republic of Mordovia in Eastern Europe. One subclade of Haplogroup I2a2-M436, namely I2a2a1a1-M284, has been found almost exclusively among the population of Great Britain, which has been taken to suggest that the clade may have a very long history in that island. It is notable, however, that the distributions of Haplogroup I1-M253 and Haplogroup I2a2-M436 seem to correlate fairly well with the extent of historical influence of Germanic peoples. The punctual presence of both haplogroups at a low frequency in the area of the historical regions of Bithynia and Galatia in Turkey may be related to the Varangian Guard or rather suggests a connection with the ancient Gauls of Thrace, several tribes of which are recorded to have immigrated to those parts of Anatolia at the invitation of Nicomedes I of Bithynia. This suggestion is supported by recent genetic studies regarding Y-DNA Haplogroup I2b2-L38 have concluded that there was some Late Iron Age migration of Celtic La Tène people, through Belgium, to the British Isles including north-east Ireland.[36]

Haplogroup I2a2-M436 also occurs among approximately 1% of Sardinians, and in Hazaras from Afghanistan at 3%.[37]
