Haplogroup R1a
Possible time of origin36,000-15,000 years BP
Possible place of originproposals include southern Central Asia or Eastern Europe or South Asia
AncestorR1
Defining mutationsSRY1532.2 also known as SRY10831.2 defines R1a. M17 defines the very dominant sub-clade R1a1. M198, mentioned in some papers, is currently considered phylogenetically equivalent to M17. (They always appear together.)
Highest frequenciesParts of Eastern Europe, Central Asia and South Asia. (Also found in other parts of Eurasia, except East Asia. See detailed data in article.)

Haplogroup R1a is a major Y-chromosome haplogroup currently found at high frequencies in most of Eastern Europe and parts of Central Europe and certain populations in Central and South Asia.[1]

Subclades

  • R1a (defined by having the mutation SRY1532.2 also known as SRY10831.2)
    • R1a*
    • R1a1 (M17, M198)
      • R1a1* (Dubious Linking of Unrelated Sources)
      • R1a1a (M56)
      • R1a1b (M157)
      • R1a1c (M64.2, M87, M204) One case was found in Southern Iran out of 117 people tested.[2]

By far the most common clade within this family of clades is R1a1*, in other words cases of men with mutations M17 and M198, but not M56, M157, etc. R1a*, without the M17 mutation is also widespread, but far less common.

Significantly, Sharma et al. (2009) found 22.8% R1a*, out of 57 people tested from the Saharia tribe of Madhya Pradesh. Other examples include Northern Iran (1 case out of 33 tests), Crete (1 case of R1a(xM198) out of 193 tests), and Greek Macedonia.[2][3][4]

The sub-clades of R1a1 all seem to relatively unusual although it should be kept in mind that not all surveys test for the full range of mutations which define these sub-clades.

It should be noted that the phylogenetic naming used in this article will change. Although it has not yet used much in published surveys, a fuller survey of known mutations has led to the ISOGG phylogenetic tree to be updated as follows:[5]

  • R1a (L62, L63)
    • R1a*
    • R1a1 (SRY1532.2 also known as SRY10831.2)
      • R1a1*
      • R1a1a (M17, M198)
        • R1a1a**
        • R1a1a1 (M56)
        • R1a1a2 (M157)
        • R1a1a3 (M64.2, M87, M204)
        • R1a1a4 (P98)
        • R1a1a5 (PK5)

Distribution

Haplogroup R1a distribution [6]

R1a has been found in high frequency at both the eastern and western ends of its core range, for example in India among certain central and south Asian ethnic groups, and in the Ukraine.

Central Asia

There are big differences in R1a frequency between populations in Central Asia.

Exceptionally high frequencies of M17 are found among the Ishkashimi (68%), the Tajik population of Khojant (64%), and the Kyrgyz (63%), but are likely "due to drift, as these populations are less diverse, and are characterized by relatively small numbers of individuals living in isolated mountain valleys."[7] (The frequency of the Tajik/Dushanbe population is, at 19%, far lower than the 64% frequency of the Tajik/Khojant population.)[7]

Haplogroup R1a is also common among Mongolic- and Turkic-speaking populations of Northwestern China, such as the Bonan, Dongxiang, Salar, and Uyghur peoples.[8][9]

Wells et al. (2001) note that Turkish and Azeri populations are atypical among Altaic speakers R1a1-M17 haplotypes.

Rather, these two Turkic-speaking groups seem to be closer to populations from the Middle East and Caucasus, characterized by high frequencies of M96- and/or M89-related haplotypes. This finding is consistent with a model in which the Turkic languages, originating in the Altai-Sayan region of Central Asia and northwestern Mongolia (31), were imposed on the Caucasian and Anatolian peoples with relatively little genetic admixture—another possible example of elite dominance-driven linguistic replacement.

Northeast Asia

R1a male lineages are also found scattered in significant amounts extending out of these central areas. It has been found as far East as Siberia, where a native presence have been found in Kamchatka and Chukotka, for example 22% amongst the Itel'man. (One R1a-M17 was even found in a sample of 21 Guaymi from Costa Rica.)[10]

South Asia

In South Asia high levels have been observed in some populations. For example, in the eastern and northern parts of India, among the high caste Bengalis from West Bengal like Brahmins and Kshatriyas (72%), Uttar Pradesh Brahmins (67%), Bihar Brahmins (60%), Punjab (47%), and Gujarat (33%) of male lineages[11] have been observed in this lineage. It is also found in relatively high frequencies in several South Indian Dravidian-speaking tribes including the Chenchu and Valmikis of Andhra Pradesh and the Kallar of Tamil Nadu suggesting that M17 is widespread in tribal southern Indians[12].

Western Asia

The M17 marker is found in five to ten percent of Middle Eastern men. This is true even in some western Iranian populations where Persian, a major Indo-European language with close relatives in high frequency areas in Central and South Asia, is spoken. However, on the Eastern side of Iran, around 35% of men carry the M17 maker.[13] Wells et al. (2001) suggest that the deserts of central Iran acted as "significant barriers to gene flow," and propose two possibilities:

Intriguingly, the population of present-day Iran, speaking a major Indo-European language (Farsi), appears to have had little genetic influence from the M17-carrying Indo-Iranians. It is possible that the pre-Indo-European population of Iran— effectively an eastern extension of the great civilizations of Mesopotamia—may have reached sufficient population densities to have swamped any genetic contribution from a small number of immigrating Indo-Iranians. If so, this may have been a case of language replacement through the ‘‘elite-dominance’’ model. Alternatively, an Indo-Iranian language may have been the lingua franca of the steppe nomads and the surrounding settled populations, facilitating communication between the two. Over time, this language could have become the predominant language in Persia, reinforced and standardized by rulers such as Cyrus the Great and Darius in the mid-first millennium B.C. Whichever model is correct, the Iranians sampled here (from the western part of the country) appear to be more similar genetically to Afro-Asiatic-speaking Middle Eastern populations than they are to Central Asians or Indians.

M. Regueiro et al. (2006) on high frequency of rare R1-M173* and R1a-SRY1532 lineages in Iran.[2]

From the disparate M198 frequencies observed for the north and south of Iran, it is possible to envision a movement southward towards India where the lineage may have had an influence on the populations south of the Iranian deserts and where the Dash-e Lut desert would have played a signifi cant role in preventing the expansion of this marker to the north of Iran. The lower frequencies of M198 in the region of Anatolia (11.8% in Greece and 6.9% in Turkey, with a statistically significant longitudinal correlation and the Caucasus (10% in Georgia, 6% in Armenia and 7% in Azerbaijan) suggests that population movement was southward towards India and then westward across the Iranian plateau. In addition, the detection of rare R1-M173* and R1a-SRY1532 lineages in Iran at higher frequencies than observed for either Turkey, Pakistan or India suggests the hypothesis that geographic origin of haplogroup R may be nearer Persia.

Central and Eastern Europe

In Europe, R1a is found primarily in the eastern part of the European continent, with the highest frequencies among the Sorbs (63.39%), Poles (56.4%),[14] , Russians (50.0%)[15] and Ukrainians (54.0%).[14][16] An early study reported an R1a frequency of 60.0% among a sample of 45 Hungarians,[14] but a later study found haplogroup R1a Y-DNA in only 20.4% of a sample of 113 Hungarians.[17] Another early study from 2000 has reported finding haplogroup R1a1-SRY1532b in approximately 22% (8/36) of a Hungarian sample.[18] A study first published in December 2008 has found haplogroup R1a1a-M17 in approximately 57% of a sample of 53 Hungarians.[19]

The Balkans shows lower frequencies, and significant variation between areas, for example >30% in Slovenia, Croatia and Greek Macedonia, but <10% in Albania, Kosovo and parts of Greece.[14][18][20].

Among the earliest indications of the presence of R1a in Europe are remains of three individuals from a set of multiple burials near Eulau, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, discovered in 2005.[21] Y-DNA extracted from the remains of the individuals, buried together following a likely raid by unknown pillagers in roughly 2600 BC, established that four of the individuals killed were a father, his two children and the mother of those children. The father and the two male children proved to be of the R1a haplogroup. The Eulau find, hailed by archaeologists and geneticists as "providing the oldest genetic evidence of a nuclear family," also demonstrated the spread of R1a among the Corded Ware culture peoples into what is now Central Europe.[22][23]

Northern Europe

There is a significant presence in Scandinavia, for example in Norway, whence branches seem to have moved still further west, to Britain with the Vikings. In Iceland, for instance, R1a accounts for nearly a quarter of the local male Y-DNA.

It is likely that Vikings or Normans, Viking descendants, settling in Britain, Scotland and to a lesser degree Ireland[24], carried the R1a lineage,[25] which accounts for the small presence of the haplogroup on those islands.[26][27]

Southern Europe

In Southern Europe R1a is not normally common but it is widespread and found in significant pockets. Scozzari et al. (2001) found significant levels in the Pas Valley in Northern Spain, and also the areas of Venice, and Calabria in Italy.

Origins

R1a's origins remain disputed. It presumably originated somewhere in the Eurasian landmass, where it is most commonly found today. There are two focuses of high frequency of R1a, one in South Asia, near North India, and the other in Eastern Europe, in the area of the Ukraine. On the one hand, the highest frequency level observed in any large population so far has been found in some South Asian groups[28]. On the other hand it has been claimed that the highest diversity is measured in the Balkans and that Indian R1a appears to be an offshoot of European R1a[29].

Central Asian Origin Theories

Cordaux et al. (2004) argued, citing data from Wells et al. (2001),Semino et al. (2000), and Quintana-Murci et al. (2001) that...

Given the high frequency of R-M17 in central Asia (typically 20%–40% [9]), its rarity in west Asia [9, 13] and its absence in east Asia [14], Indian R-M17 Y chromosomes most probably have a central Asian origin [8, 9].

Eastern European Origin Theories

Suggestions have been made which associate the distribution of R1a with several proposed movements of people in history and prehistory in Eastern Europe -

These three proposals involve very different time periods, but they are not mutually exclusive given that R1a lineages may have been taken part in many different human movements over time in the same geographical region.

In favour of an early dispersal from Europe, Passarino et al. (2002) suggested that R1a expanded from the area of the Dniepr-Don Valley in the Ukraine between 13,000 and 7,600 years ago, after the Last Glacial Maximum receded. This was based on data showing highest levels of R1a STR diversity in the Ukraine.[30]

Spencer Wells (2002), similarly postulated southern Russia/Ukraine as the likely origin of R1a1 on the basis of both microsatellite diversity and frequency distribution.[31] He enlarged on the correlation of R1a with the expansion of the Kurgan people.

The current distribution of the M17 haplotype is likely to represent traces of an ancient population migration originating in southern Russia/Ukraine, where M17 is found at high frequency(>50%) It is possible that the domestication of the horse in this region around 3,000 B.C. may have driven the migration. The distribution and age of M17 in Europe and Central/Southern Asia is consistent with the inferred movements of these people, who left a clear pattern of archaeological remains known as the Kurgan culture, and are thought to have spoken an early Indo-European language. The decrease in frequency eastward across Siberia to the Altai-Sayan mountains (represented by the Tuvinian population) and Mongolia, and southward into India, overlaps exactly with the inferred migrations of the Indo-Iranians during the period 3,000 to 1,000 B.C.[7]

Semino et al. (2000) propose two dates of expansion, suggesting that the spread of R1a from a point of origin in Ukraine following the Last Glacial Maximum may have been magnified by the expansion of males from the Kurgan culture area of present-day southern Ukraine, from where, according to Gimbutas proposals,[32] Indo-European languages spread.

Other authors have focused on the Balkan region, further west, as an area which shows signs of having a very ancient R1a population, even though modern frequency levels are not as high as other places. A high-resolution Y chromosome analysis by Pericic et al. (2005) shows a maximum diversity of R1a STR variance among Croatians and Bosnians and the authors remark:

At least three major episodes of gene flow might have enhanced R1a variance in the region: early post-LGM recolonizations expanding from the refugium in Ukraine, migrations from northern Pontic steppe between 3,000 and 1,000 B.C., as well as possibly massive Slavic migration from A.D. 5th to 7th centuries.

The most recent proponent of a Balkan origin is Anatole Klyosov. Not only does he also believe that the R1a1 genetic diversity there looks older, but he has also written that the "current Indian R1a1 haplotypes are practically indistinguishable from Russian, Ukrainian, and Central Asian R1a1 haplotypes, as well as from many West and Central European R1a1 haplotypes."[33]

Also recently, a Bronze Age European origin for R1a1 in at least parts of Asia has also been argued on the basis of a 2009 study of DNA results from Andronovo culture remains in South Siberia. The Y DNA was almost exclusively R1a1[34] This archaeological culture, has also been genetically studied in Kazakhstan, and is thought to have been a carrier of an Indo-Iranian language (the same family of languages as is commonly associated with R1a in modern India) from their direction of Europe. (In particular it has been noted that their mitochondrial DNA is almost entirely of types associated with Europe, and that this Asian population appears to have had a relatively high level of red and blonde hair and blue eyes.)[35]

Evidence that R1a was once common in areas to the west of its modern core range, and even west of the Balkans, has come from other tests on ancient samples, which appear to show that R1a was common in this region well before Slavic languages are thought to have arrived.[36][37][38]

The spread of Slavic peoples and languages might have played a role in further increasing the frequency of R1a1 in parts of Europe. Investigation of SNP and STR markers occurring within subgroup R1a1 in the Czech Republic confirmed that the results are compatible with a presence of the gene during or soon after the LGM. Population growth beginning in the first millennium B.C. was detected. The overall diversity suggests a rapid demographic expansion beginning about 60 to 80 generations ago, which would equate to about 1500 years ago (approx. 500 AD) to 2000 years ago (approx. 1 AD) with a generation time of 25 years. Similar results have been found in Lithuania.[39] Another study has also detected Y-STR evidence of a recent Slavic expansion from the area of modern Urkaine.[40]

South Asian Origin Theories

Several other studies suggest R1a lineages may have their origins in North India [11][41][42]. Stephen Oppenheimer (2004) believes according to the Southern Coastal Migration Theory that:

For me and for Toomas Kivisild, South Asia is logically the ultimate origin of M17 and his ancestors; and sure enough we find the highest rates and greatest diversity of the M17 line in Pakistan, India, and eastern Iran, and low rates in the caucus. M17 is not only more diverse in South Asia than in Central Asia, but the diversity characterizes its presence in isolated tribal groups in the south, thus undermining any theory of M17 as a marker of a "male Aryan invasion" of India. One estimate for the age of this line in India is as much as 36,000 years while the European age is only 23,000. All this suggests that M17 could have found his way initially from India or Pakistan, through Kashmir, then via Central Asia and Russia, before finally coming to Europe[43].

Spencer Wells (2001), noted that the Indo-European-speaking Sourashtrans, a population from Tamil Nadu in southern India, have a much higher frequency of M17 [R1a1] than their Dravidian-speaking neighbours, the Yadhavas and Kallars, adding to the evidence that M17 [R1a1] is a diagnostic Indo-Iranian marker.[7] However Saha et al. examined R1a1 in South Indian tribals and Dravidian population groups more closely, and questioned this concept. Their analyses of the haplogroups "indicated no single origin from any lineage but a result of a conglomeration of different lineages from time to time. The phylogenetic analyses indicate a high degree of population admixture and a greater genetic proximity for the studied population groups when compared with other world populations".[44]

A particular interest has been taken in investigating the long-presumed connection between Indo-Aryan origins and higher caste Brahmins. Studies have generally failed to support this association. The R1a lineage forms around 35–45% among all the castes in North Indian population (Namita Mukherjee et al. 2001) and the Badagas of the Nilgiris. Sengupta et al. have confirmed R1a's diverse presence even among Indian tribal and lower castes (the so-called untouchables) and populations not part of the caste system.[41] Chaubey et al. draw the same conclusion that both caste and tribal populations are autochthonous to India.[45]

Several Indian studies have pressed the case for an Indian origin for R1a and R1a1 from the diversity and distinctiveness of microsatellite Y-STR variation. Sengupta et al.(2005) concluded that there must have been an independent R1a1 population in India dating back to a much earlier expansion than the Indo-Aryan migration.[41]

Sahoo (2006) argued from Y-chromosomal data against any major influx into the Indian subcontinent from regions north and west of India, of people associated either with the development of agriculture or the spread of the Indo-Aryan language family. On the R1a populations of North India, he noted that "one should expect to observe dramatically lower genetic variation among Indian R1a lineages. In fact, the opposite is true: the STR haplotype diversity on the background of R1a in Central Asia (and also in Eastern Europe) has already been shown to be lower than that in India . Rather, the high incidence of R1* and R1a throughout Central Asian and East European populations (without R2 and R* in most cases) is more parsimoniously explained by gene flow in the opposite direction, possibly with an early founder effect in South or West Asia"[42]

Geneticist Toomas Kivisild led a study (2003) in which comparisons of the diversity of R1a1 (R-M17) haplogroup in Indian, Pakistani, Iranian, Central Asian, Czech and Estonian populations. The study showed that the diversity of R1a1 in India, Pakistan, and Iran, is higher than in Czechs (40%), and Estonians[12].

Kivisild came to the conclusion that "southern and western Asia might be the source of this haplogroup": "Haplogroup R1a, previously associated with the putative Indo-Aryan invasion, was found at its highest frequency in Punjab but also at a relatively high frequency (26%) in the Chenchu tribe. This finding, together with the higher R1a-associated short tandem repeat diversity in India and Iran compared with Europe and central Asia, suggests that southern and western Asia might be the source of this haplogroup".[12]

A study headed by geneticist S.Sharma et al.(2009), collated information for 2809 Indians (681 Brahmins, and 2128 Tribals and schedule castes). The results showed "no consistent pattern of the exclusive presence and distribution of Y-haplogroups to distinguish the higher-most caste, Brahmins, from the lower-most ones, schedule castes and tribals". Brahmins from West Bengal showed the highest frequency (72.22%) of Y-haplogroups R1a1* hinting that it may have been a founder lineage for this caste group. The authors found it significant that the Saharia tribe of Madhya Pradesh had not only 28.07% R1a1, but also 22.8% R1a*, out of 57 people, with such a high percentage of R1a* never having been found before. Based on STR variance the estimated age of R1a* in India was 18,478 years, and for R1a1 it was 13,768 years.

In its conclusions, the study proposed "the autochthonous origin and tribal links of Indian Brahmins" as well as the origin of R1a1* in the Indian subcontinent[28].

West Asian Origin Theories

Kivisild et al. (2003), on the other hand, feel that the same type of evidence used to argue for Southern Asia being the origin of R1a, could also be used to argue for a Western Asian origin.

Haplogroup R1a, previously associated with the putative Indo-Aryan invasion, was found at its highest frequency in Punjab but also at a relatively high frequency (26%) in the Chenchu tribe. This finding, together with the higher R1a-associated short tandem repeat diversity in India and Iran compared with Europe and central Asia, suggests that southern and western Asia might be the source of this haplogroup.

Given the geographic spread and STR diversities of sister clades R1 and R2, the latter of which is restricted to India, Pakistan, Iran, and southern central Asia, it is possible that southern and western Asia were the source for R1 and R1a differentiation.

Semino et al. (2000) proposed that a Middle Eastern origin for R1a should be considered, depending upon the strength of arguments for a Middle Eastern origin for Indo-European languages.

Famous

In 2003 Oxford University researchers traced the Y-chromosome signature of Somerled of Argyll, one of Scotland's greatest warriors who is credited with driving out the Vikings. He was also the founder of Clan Donald and it is through the clan genealogies of the clan that the genetic relation was mapped out.[46] Somerled belongs to haplogroup R1a1.

In 2005 a study by Professor of Human Genetics Bryan Sykes led to the conclusion that Somerled has possibly 500,000 living descendants - making him the second most common historical ancestor after Genghis Khan[47] Sykes's research also revealed that while Somerled drove out the Vikings, his roots were themselves Norse.
