Maps of the world showing the distribution of Y chromosome and the MTDNA haplogroups throughout the world.
Of note:
R1
The undifferentiated R1 lineage is quite rare. It is found only at very low frequencies in Europe, Central Asia, and South Asia. This lineage possibly originated in Europe and then migrated east into Asia.
>>> R1a
The R1a lineage is believed to have originated in the Eurasian Steppes north of the Black and Caspian Seas. This lineage is believed to have originated in a population of the Korgan culture, known for the domestication of the horse (approximately 3000 B.C.E.). These people were also believed to be the first speakers of the Indo-European language group. This lineage is currently found in central and western Asia, India, and in Slavic populations of Eastern Europe.
>>> R1b1
Haplogroup R1b1 is the most common haplogroup in European populations. It is believed to have expanded throughout Europe as humans re-colonized after the last glacial maximum 10-12 thousand years ago. This lineage is also the haplogroup containing the Atlantic modal haplotype.

Thanks. I’ve already done my DNA. I’m yDNA R1b and mtDNA ‘V’ (which you don’t show in that chart). ‘V’ is mainly Saami, Laplanders.

Gee...well, then all those species must be endangered, right...

Interesting!
I wonder what giraffe would taste like.
“Some of these populations number only a few hundred individuals and need immediate protection.” “
The sum and substance of this article’s agenda is that if giraffes can be divided by the infamous “trinomial (subspecies), then funding can be justified.
This is the old Lumpers v. Splitters argument. Those wanting to split species based on minor coat patterns are either grad students seeking a thesis or established scientists seeking Endangered Species Act funding.
The rest of us know what a giraffe knows - If it looks like one, it IS one.
“separated 0.5 to 1.5 million years ago.”
Dang, I had no idea a giraffe could get that old.

This ‘scientist’ is running neck and neck with the inventor of Piltdown Man for my awed respect...
Horses and donkeys can mate. Granted, their offspring are always sterile, but they do produce offspring.
