Brit-Am Impressions of Above Paper:
Japanese-Tibetans are both 30-40% D-M174 (sub-group of African E).
Elsewhere in Central Asia, North Asia, Middle East D-M174 found at under 5%.
Japanese version of DE differs from Tibetan.
Andaman Islanders have 56% D-M174 which is also found at lower frequencies in
some Tibeto-Burmese
and Hmong groups.
Study shows links to Africa.
O3-M122 (East Asian, Han Chinese) also found in both Japanese and Tibetans

R1a1: The Haplogroup of Somerled
R1a1, the extremely dominant subdivision of R1a, probably arose about 15,000
years ago in the people who lived just south of the glaciers then dominating
Eurasia. It's exact original location is controversial, with proposals ranging
from Ukraine in the west to Kazakhstan in the east. See Dennis Garvey's
discussion. All the proposals do center on the wide grasslands that sweep across
this part of the world, where peoples associated with the origin of the
Indo-European language family and the domestication of the horse spread it
widely. Today it is very dominant in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and is prominent
in northern India, Kyrgyzstan, and the Slavic countries of Eastern Europe.
It is also the group of the Clan leaders of the Clan Donald. However, our
leaders and almost all other R1a1 men in our Clan do not come, at least not
recently, from southern Asia or the Slavic lands. We can tell this because our
haplotypes have some very characteristic features which differ from the common
patterns elsewhere. These are the pattern 25-15 at DYS390 and DYS19, and more
importantly 16-8 at 458 and 459a (the 10 at 459b is very common), and most
importantly of all the 21 at YCAII-b. Slavic, Polish, German, and South Asian
R1a1 is normally 23 at YCAIIb. Our pattern is seen almost exclusively in Norway,
adjacent parts of Scandinavia (though not Denmark), Iceland, and the parts of
Highland Scotland and the Western Isles where it is associated mostly with the
Clan Donald itself. This pattern of the "Norse R1a1" as it is best called has
lead to the deduction that it came to Scotland with the Norse Vikings (not
Danish Vikings). When tied with our Clan history and the very name "Somerled",
which is the English version of the Gaelic version of a Norse word meaning
"Viking" , this becomes a near certainty.
But how it got it Norway is also an interesting subject, with very romantic
speculations dominating. The Norse Sagas imply an eastern origin. When our
dominant haplotype is put into Family Tree Dna's Recent Ancestral Origins
database search, one naturally finds most close matches in Norway, England,
Scotland, and India. When one takes into account not the absolute numbers but
rather the percentages found in each area one finds a great excess in Central
Asia, in the Russian Altai (southern Siberia) and thereabouts. Could this
indicate that the olds stories are true? Only more extensive testing, especially
of DYS 459, 459, and YCAII, can tell. There are no sub-divisions of R1a1 that
are of any significance.
