Term history edit
Haplogroup R2a is also known as haplogroup R-M124.[2] The first reference to the newly defined haplogroup, "R-M124", was on 25 August 2010.[4]
Before the publication of the 2005 Y-Chromosome Phylogenetic Tree, Haplogroup R-M124 was known as Haplogroup P1 and formerly thought to be a sister clade of Haplogroup R rather than derived from it.[5]
Haplogroup R2 most often observed in Asia, especially on the Indian sub-continent and Central Asia.[5] It is also reported at notable frequencies in Caucasus.
Origins edit
According to Sengupta et al. (2006),
uncertainty neutralizes previous conclusions that the intrusion of HGs R1a1 and R2 [Now R-M124] from the northwest in Dravidian-speaking southern tribes is attributable to a single recent event. Rather, these HGs contain considerable demographic complexity, as implied by their high haplotype diversity. Specifically, they could have actually arrived in southern India from a southwestern Asian source region multiple times, with some episodes considerably earlier than others.

Paragroup R-M124* edit
Paragroup is a term used in population genetics to describe lineages within a haplogroup that are not defined by any additional unique markers. They are typically represented by an asterisk (*) placed after the main haplogroup.
Y-chromosomes which are positive to the M124, P249, P267, and L266 SNPs and negative to the L295, L263, and L1069 SNPs, are categorized as belonging to Paragroup R-M124*. It is found in Iraq, so far.
Haplogroup R-L295 edit
Haplogroup R-L295 is a Y-chromosome haplogroup characterized by genetic marker L295. It is found in South Asia, Anatolia, Arabian Peninsula, Europe, & Central Asia so far.
Haplogroup R-L263 edit
Haplogroup R-L263 is a Y-chromosome haplogroup characterized by genetic marker L263. It is found in Greek Asia Minor & Armenia so far.[6]
Haplogroup R-L1069 edit
Haplogroup R-L1069 is a Y-chromosome haplogroup characterized by genetic marker L1069. It is found in Kuwait so far.[6]
Distribution edit
R-M124 is most often observed in Asia, especially on the Indian sub-continent and in Central Asia[5] It is also reported at notable frequencies in Caucasus.
Historical edit
Ancient samples of haplogroup R2a were observed in the remains of humans from Neolithic, Chalcolithic and Bronze Age Iran and Turan; and Iron Age South Asia. R2a was also recovered from excavated remains in the South Asian sites of Saidu Sharif and Butkara from a later period.[7]
South Asia edit
| Tibeto-Burman | Austro-Asiatic | Dravidian | Indo-European | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tribe | 5.75% | 10.94% | 5.00% | - |

Haplogroup R-M124, along with haplogroups H, L, R1a1, and J2, forms the majority of the South Asian male population. The frequency is around 10-15% in India and Sri Lanka and 7-8% in Pakistan. Its spread within South Asia is very extensive, ranging from Baluchistan in the west to Bengal in the east; Hunza in the north to Sri Lanka in the south.
India edit
Among regional groups, it is found among West Bengalis (23%), New Delhi Hindus (20%), Punjabis (5%) and Gujaratis (3%).[8] Among tribal groups, Karmalis of West Bengal showed highest at 100% (16/16)[9] followed by Lodhas (43%)[10] to the east, while Bhil of Gujarat in the west were at 18%,[11] Tharus of north showed it at 17%,[12] Chenchu and Pallan of south were at 20% and 14% respectively.[9][13] Among caste groups, high percentages are shown by Jaunpur Kshatriyas (87%), Kamma Chaudhary (73%), Bihar Yadav (50%), Khandayat (46%)and Kallar (44%).[9]

In Central Asia, Tajikistan shows Haplogroup R-M124 at 6%, while the other '-stan' states vary around 2%. Bartangis of Tajikistan have a high frequency of R-M124 at about 17%, Ishkashimi at 8%, Khojant at 9% and Dushanbe at 6%.
Specifically, Haplogroup R-M124 has been found in approximately 7.5% (4/53) of recent Iranian emigrants living in Samarkand,[20] 7.1% (7/99) of Pamiris,[20] 6.8% (3/44) of Karakalpaks,[20] 5.1% (4/78) of Tajiks,[20] 5% (2/40) of Dungans in Kyrgyzstan,[20] 3.3% (1/30) of Turkmens,[20] 2.2% (8/366) of Uzbeks,[20] and 1.9% (1/54) of Kazakhs.[20]

Haplogroup R-M124 is a subgroup of Haplogroup R-M479 (M479):
- R-M479 (M479)
- R-M124 (M124, P249, P267, L266)
- R-L295 (L295)
- R-L263 (L263)
