Haplogroup O-M268 (former name) is a Y-DNA that descends from O1 (O-F265), however, it is now referred to as O1b.
Origin
The authors of a study published in 2011 have suggested China as being the early birthplace of O1b.
[Shi Yan, Chuan-Chao Wang, Hui Li, Shi-Lin Li, Li Jin, and The Genographic Consortium, "An updated tree of Y-chromosome Haplogroup O and revised phylogenetic positions of mutations P164 and PK4." ''European Journal of Human Genetics'' (2011) 19, 1013–1015; doi:10.1038/ejhg.2011.64]
Other studies suggest a complex origin that is inconclusive because of rising seawater to the east of China (which may have been a walkable land mass).
Despite such studies, descendants of O1b suggest two primary migration paths from Southeast China:
* Korea & Japan
* Southeast Asia
This suggestion aims to draw an intersection to support the theory of both migration paths being in opposite spectrums geographically in East Asia.
There has also bee
recent suggestionsthat Korea plays a major role in the origin of O1b.
Distribution
O1b is distributed with varying frequencies among these populations:
* Japanese
* Koreans
* Chinese
* Southeast Asians
As of right now, it is inconclusive as to what frequency pertains to each population due to lack of accurate data.
Specific descendants (subclades) of O1b can be found a
YFULLan
ISOGG
The two primary descendants are:
* O1b1
* O1b2
Phylogenetics
Phylogenetic History
Prior to 2002, there were in academic literature at least seven naming systems for the Y-Chromosome Phylogenetic tree. This led to considerable confusion. In 2002, the major research groups came together and formed the Y-Chromosome Consortium (YCC). They published a joint paper that created a single new tree that all agreed to use. Later, a group of citizen scientists with an interest in population genetics and genetic genealogy formed a working group to create an amateur tree aiming at being above all timely. The table below brings together all of these works at the point of the landmark 2002 YCC Tree. This allows a researcher reviewing older published literature to quickly move between nomenclatures.
Original Research Publications
The following research teams per their publications were represented in the creation of the YCC Tree.
Phylogenetic Trees
This phylogenetic tree of haplogroup O subclades is based on the YCC 2008 tree and subsequent published research.
