The haplogroup G is the third most frequent in Armenia after R1b and J2.
G
was prominent in early Neolithic farmers, especially in those that
moved to Europe. Despite its popularity in West Caucasus Rootsie 2012
analyzed the modern diversity of G and made this conclusion about its
homeland.
..by evaluating 1472 haplogroup G chromosomes belonging to 98 populations ranging from Europe to Pakistan. Although no basal G-M201* chromosomes were detected in our data set, the homeland of this haplogroup has been estimated to be somewhere nearby eastern Anatolia, Armenia or western Iran, the only areas characterized by the co-presence of deep basal branches as well as the occurrence of high sub-haplogroup diversity. ...
In the last decade ancient DNA supported this homeland theory with a slight shift to more southern regions toward Fertile Crescent.
Three branches are frequent in Armenia.
- G2a2b-M406 more than 3.5%
- G2a2b-P303 around 3%
- G2a2a-PF3147 around 2.5%
Other branches are less frequent.
- G2a1
- G1 prominent in Hamshen Armenians
- G2b - The genetic history
- Over time there will be reviews about those branches.
