AB-058

Jewish Y-DNA branch AB-058

Introduction

This text is updated in 2020.

The Ashkenazi branch has two parallel lines. One is FGC263 and the other is FGC33963. The STR differences are clear. The shared ancestor in yfull is 1150ybp. The two subbranches have 700 and 850 ybp respectively as their shared ancestor.

In the Avotaynu project also some STR-distant Sephardic branches are detected. After NGS-tests are doen, we will learn they fit in the history.

The branches parallel to the Ashkenazi branches have typical Canaanites-Levant chracteristics.

If we look at the branche splits before Roman times and below G-Z5856 in yfull and G-FGC264 ftdna and the literature, we find the following characteristics:

One branche in Sardinia, a well known colony of Phoenicians (Francalacci research).
One branche in Maghreb (G-Y163251), with quickly expanding population in the Maghreb, with three descending lines in the Carthagian period, two in Morocco and one in Algeria
A person in the Maghreb (G-Z6028, Tunisia)
A person in Lebanon (G-Z6028)
A person in the USA (G-Z6028)
A person in Sierra Leone (1kG project, G-Z6028)
The Ashkenazi branch (G-Z6028+FGC226+FGC249)
Ancient DNA (G-Z6028+FGC226+FGC249) in Mongolia in a research paper (https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.03.25.008078), Middle Late Bronze Age; Early Iron Age; Ulaanzuukh; Slab Grave (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slab_Grave_culture).

The Sierra Leone sample is exceptional. Out of 41 samples, only one is found with a heritage origin north-east of the Sahara. The other 41 samples in the 1kG project from Sierra Leone have a typical haplogroup of the area. It is likely that this sample arrived after the Roman times. The USA sample also arrived after the Roman period, so we can not use that either.

So we have several arguments that fit in the Canaanite history:

The Jewish heritage
three regions (lebanon, Sardinia, Maghreb) that are related to the Phoenicians
the number of branchsplits is large in the period of the End of the Bronze age, which is expected as a population bottleneck in this region in this period.

The Mongolian sample is a very interesting one. It requires a migration from the Middle East to Monogolia between 700 BCE (yfull estimate of FGC226 and FGC249) and 300 BCE (the end of this culture). Since both FGC226 and FGC249 were measured, the period is probably less. In this research several other Middle Eastern samples were found the different ancient DNA samples of Mongolia. The Middle Eastern Y-DNA were a minority but clearly present. Out of 124 samples, one was E-V22, five J1 and seven J2 and one was G-FGC226+FGC249. In the publication the Sarmatians are reported as possible origin. This could fit with the Cannaanite origin in the end of the Bronze age.

Old information: Leon Taranto (who is registered as Turkey at a genetic distance of 12/67 markers from Ashkenazi G-L140-FGC249 modal below) wrote a beautiful article on his Sephardic-Rhodes history (kit 41236). This person is probably also closer to the FGC31715 than FGC263. Notice that the reported claims of note 13 and 14 (Ibiza, R. Banks) are overinterpretation of the data of Adams and Rodriguez. In the Iberian dataset of Adams et al. we also find 2 persons (out of 1140) close to this group (genetic distance of max. 2 markers).

You can find additional information in this Ashkenazi branch of ftdna by Jeffrey D. Wexler in 2019 .

This branch is in the G-group of Jewish Branches.
This branch is a member of the Ashkenazi branches
This branch is a member of the Sephardic branches
This branch has some matches that might be related after the start of Judaism. Possible related are AB-340 (based on STRs).
