2.3.7.2 Conclusions from the History and the Elohim's Disclosure

Prior to consideration on haplogroups, conclusive presumptions about the Children of Israel from biblical, historical, and cultural points of view and from the viewpoint of the Elohim's disclosure are explained again like below.

(א) The most probable mainstream of the Children of Israel in Canaan descending from the Kingdom of Judah would be Palestinians and Arabs (Arabian population) in Israel, though they mostly believe in Islam today. Many Israeli farmers might have stayed in Canaan after the First Jewish-Roman War (66 - 73 CE) and Bar Kokhba's Revolt (132 - 135 CE). Evidences of their dispersion are not seen. Some theories claim that they mostly converted to Christianity and Islam, they became Palestinians and Arabs in Israel.

(ב) The second possible Children of Israel descending from the Kingdom of Judah would be "Sephardim," "Mizrahim," and "Ashkenazim from Western Europe and around the Rhineland."
"Sephardim" here mean people of Judaism whose lineage has experienced the Iberian Peninsula.
"Mizrahim" here mean people of Judaism whose lineage has experienced Islamic World outside Canaan.
"Ashkenazim from Western Europe and around the Rhineland" here mean people of Judaism whose lineage has experienced Western Europe or around the Rhineland.

(ג) In contrast, Ashkenazim from around Poland and Russia would not be basically the Children of Israel descending from Jacob. They mostly descend from Khazars who converted to Judaism, while part of a small number might have come from around the Rhineland to around Poland or Russia.

Historical materials and the Elohim's disclosure support the conclusions above and any strong evidence of opposition is not seen.

2.3.7.3 Haplogroup Composition of Ancestors of a Tribe

As mentioned before, Y-DNAs are inherited from fathers to their sons, mtDNAs are inherited from mothers to their daughters. Then Y-DNA represents the thorough paternal lineage, like father's - father's - father's - father's - father. In contrast, mtDNA represents the thorough maternal lineage, like mother's - mother's - mother's - mother's - mother.
However, it should be noted that Y-DNA and mitochondrial DNA are the exceptions. Actually, one's DNAs consist of not only the extreme father's and the extreme mother's. Because crossover commonly occurs in DNAs aside from Y-DNA and mtDNA, one's DNAs (aside from Y-DNA and mtDNA) generally consist of various fragmentary sequences from various ancestors. For example, a fragmentary sequence of a DNA comes from father's - father's - mother's - father, another fragmentary sequence of a DNA comes from father's - mother's - father's - mother, and another fragmentary sequence of a DNA comes from mother's - father's - father's - mother. However, present-day DNA science can't trace these fragmentary sequences from various ancestors between two extremes.
According to present-day DNA science, the only tracing method of DNA sequences is about Y-DNA and mtDNA with reference to the extreme father and the extreme mother. This is a limit of present-day science.

On the other hand, the target here is "Children of Israel (Jacob)," "blood relatives of Israel (Jacob)." That is, persons who has fragmentary DNA sequence(s) from Israel (Jacob). If a man has the Y-DNA from Jacob, the same haplogroup of Y-DNA, it is sufficient to acknowledge the (extreme) blood relationship. However, those who have the same haplogroup Y-DNA are not the only blood relatives (descendants) of Jacob. There would be numerous persons who have fragmentary DNA sequences from Jacob.

However, as mentioned above, persons (descendants of Jacob) with fragmentary DNA sequences from Jacob (except Y-DNA) couldn't be traced due to the limitations of present-day DNA science.
Consequently, genetic tracing available today is Y-DNA for thorough (extreme) paternal lineage and mtDNA for thorough (extreme) maternal lineage.

On the other hand, if 100 generations are experienced during 3000 years, the number of the 100th descendant's original ancestors would be theoretically some 2^100=10^30. However, there couldn't be such myriad original ancestors. Then, consanguineous marriages in a sense among limited populations should be common. The limited population where marriages were commonly practiced would be called "tribe." Among a tribe, haplogroups of Y-DNAs and mtDNAs are inherited from original ancestors to the descendants. Accumulating the haplogroups of a tribe's descendants, it would suggest the haplogroup composition of the tribe's original ancestors.
The following should be considered besed on such context.

2.3.7.4 Y-DNA Haplogroups

Distribution
Y-DNA composition of various populations are roughly as follows. Data are mostly picked up from the distribution map of Illinois and Wikipedia. Proportion of major haplogroups and the paths with ">" are indicated. Haplogroups are colored complying with rough categories.
As explained above, the haplogroup composition of each tribe suggests the haplogroup composition of the tribe's (paternal) original ancestors.

Distance
First, a sense of distance among haplogroups should be realized. The population is firstly divided into haplogroup A (except BT) (seen in South Africans) and haplogroup BT depending on SNPs called M91 and P97. Secondly, BT is divided into B and CT depending on SNP called M168. Thirdly, CT is divided into DE and CF depending on SNPs M145 and so on along with Unique Event Polymorphism (UEP) called Y-chromosome Alu Polymorphism (YAP). Alu sequence on Y-DNA accompanies M145 in DE and it especially certifies common ancestry splitted from CT. Fourthly, DE is divided into D and E depending on SNP M174. On the other hand, fifth, CF is divided into C and F depending on SNPs P14, M89, and so on. Sixthly, F is divided into G, H, and IJK. IJK is divided into IJ and K. K is divided into LT and MNOPS. MNOPS is divided into M, NO, P, and S. NO is divided into N and O. P is divided into Q and R.
R is representative in native European people such as Spanish people and French people. Q, a related species of R, is representative in native Amazonian people. O, a related species of Q and R, is representative in Chinese (Han) people. K, a sub-related species of R, Q, and O, is representative in Aboridine (native Australian) people. French people, native Amazonian people, Chinese people, and Aboridine people are more or less related species from a view point of Y-DNA. (Then these are colored in blue)
In contrast to that, DE (colored in green) is a different thing. Distance between R and DE is by far more distant than between R (European people), O (Chinese people), and Q (Amazonian prople).
(However, haplogroup A except BT (native South African people, colored in red) and haplogroup B (Pygmy people in Central Africa) are by far more distant.)
Then the 4 major categories of Y-DNA haplogroup would be "A except BT (A xBT)," "B," "DE," and "CF." Y-DNA of Yahweh seems to have lurked in one of these 4 categories. (However, "A except BT" and "B" would be excluded referring to the Bible.)

Impurity
For example, Ticuna (native Amazonians) consists of 100% haplogroup Q and descends from one paternal ancestor. However, such purity is not seen in other populations. Generally different kinds of Y-DNAs are mixed. A tribe and an ethnic group commonly consist of some Y-DNA haplogroups. There is no tribe nor ethnic group composed of a single Y-DNA haplogroup (aside from Ticuna and so on). It should be accepted.
It's quite natural for Jewish population as well because children of Jewish mothers have been defined as Jewish population regardless of fathers' lineage. In addition, converts have been included in Jewish population.
* "Who is a Jew in Wikipedia" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_is_a_Jew%3F

Paternal Lineage
However, the Bible narrates paternal stories on the whole. For instance, Yahweh calls out to the Children of Israel (Jacob), neither to Children of Rachel nor Leah. The characters in the Bible are mostly males. The blessed was Jacob, the man. Then what this website is searching for is "the Children of Israel (Jacob)" regardless of the definition of Jewish population in Judaism.

Hiding Place of Yahweh's Y-DNA
Even if based on the assumption that Jacob was the son of Yahweh and Rebecca, Yahweh's Y-DNA was not so distinctive enough to be distinguished among humans' Y-DNAs. However, the possible hiding place of Yahweh's Y-DNA could be confined to a certain extent. It would be within J, R, or E (including DE) since they are common in Ashkenazi Jewish population, Sephardi Jewish population, and Kurdish Jewish population. In addition, they are also common in Palestinian population (Arabs Palestine muslims) and Arabs in Israel.
The controversial point of J, R, and E (or DE) is that they are rather more frequent in other populations.
The frequency of J among Jewish population is some 30-40%. The frequency of J among Palestinian population is some 55%. On the other hand, the frequency of J among Arabian population in Saudi Arabia is some 58%. J among Dargin-Chamalin (in Caucasus) is 70-94%.
The frequency of R among Jewish population is some 10-37%. The frequency of R among Palestinian population is some 8%. On the other hand, the frequency of R among Spanish and French populations is 52-65%.
The frequency of E among Jewish population is 12-20%. (D among Japanese population is 40%) The frequency of E among Palestinian population is some 20%. On the other hand, E among Berber population in Morocco is 89%.
Y-DNA haplogroup unique to Jewish population or Palestinian population is not seen. Yahweh's Y-DNA haplogroup might be J, R, or E (or DE). Yet, even if Yahweh's Y-DNA haplogroup is J, R, or E (or DE), haplogroups J, R, or E (or DE) are not exclusively unique to Jewish population, Palestinian population, or the Children of Israel. In other words, population-based mutation sites on Y-DNAs (haplogroups) wouldn't be able to distinguish Yahweh's Y-DNA.
It is a limit of present-day science.

Ancient Migration
Despite such limitation of present-day Y-DNA science, unusual distribution of DE is seen. E is frequently seen in the Middle East such as in the Near East and Egypt. In contrast, D is sparsely seen in the Central-Eastern Asia such as Andaman Islands, Tibet, and Japan. The unusual distribution (isolation) of DE requires explanation. The unusual distribution implies ancient migration of specific groups from the Middle East or North Africa to the Far East leaving small fractions in Andaman Islands and Tibet.

Origin of Ashkenazi Jewish Population
As mentioned above, the origin of Ashkenazi Jewish population ("Claimed descendants through Central-Eastern Europe") is controversial. However, curious circumstances are seen among haplogroup data. That is, haplogroup G among Ashkenazi Jewish population. Ashkenazi Jewish population has 10% haplogroup G. On the other hand, G is not seen among Sephardi Jewish population, Spanish population, French population, German population, Polish population, Ukrainian population, Russian population, and most of other populations. The population G is frequently seen is Ossetian in Central Caucasus. Then the answer would be rather simple. Somewhat Ashkenazi Jewish population have come from or through Caucasus, the region of former Khazaria or possibly from Nineveh. Yet, the true character (origin) of the Ashkenazi Jewish population from or through Caucasus is unclear because present-day DNA science is so limited that it can't distinguish even between Jewish and Arabic population.

Unified Kingdom in the Prophecy of Ezekiel
As mentioned before, Ezekiel prophesied unified kingdom of Judah and Ephraim. If Ashkenazi Jewish population include the population from Nineveh, it might correspond to the prophecy. The USSR or Israel might be the unified kingdom. The prophecy refers to the king descended from David. Based on the above assumption, the Rothschilds might correspond to the descendants of David, though there seems no significant evidence to support the origin of the Rothschilds as David. Chernobyl might be the "Abomination" Jesus prophesied. However, this assumption seems to be a rather ill-founded argument on the whole.

First, the original group is divided into "L0" and "L1-6." "L1-6" is divided into "L1" and "L2-6." "L2-6" is divided into "L5" and "L2'3'4'6." "L2'3'4'6" is divided into "L2" and "L3'4'6." "L3'4'6" is divided into "L6" and "L3'4." "L3'4" is divided into "L4" and "L3." "L3" is divided into "M" and "N."
"L0-6," "M," and "N" would be the 3 major categories of mtDNA haplogroups. "L0-6" are typical in Africa. "M" is typical in India, East Asia, South America. "N" is typical in other regions.
"M" is divided into "CZ," "D," "E," "G," and "Q." "N" is divided into "A," "S," "R," "I," "W," "X," and "Y." "R" is divide into "B," "F," "R0," "pre JT," "P," and "U." "R0" is divided into "H" and "V." "pre JT" is divided into "J" and "T." "U" is divided into "U1," "U2," "U3," "U4," "U5," "U6," "U7," and "U8." "U8" includes "K."

Whereabouts of mitochondrial DNA of the 4 Mothers
The question here is to trace the Children of Israel (Jacob). Israel (Jacob) had 12 sons and one daughter between 4 women. The 13 children naturally had mtDNA of their mothers accordingly. However, children of the 12 sons don't have mtDNA of the 4 grandmothers. MtDNAs of the children of the 12 sons (grandchildren) are derived from the mothers of the children (grandchildren). MtDNAs of the 4 mothers are not inherited by the children of the 12 sons. The daughter of Israel (Jacob) was Dinah between Leah. The child of Dinah is unclear, while it is said that "Saul," followed Simeon to Egypt, might be the son of Dinah and Shechem. Dinah's daughter is not seen. Then mtDNAs of the 4 mothers would not be inherited. What tracing here involving mtDNA would be mtDNAs of wives and concubines of the 12 sons among the tribes of Israel and so on. On the other hand, for example, Ephraim's mother was Asenath, an Egyptian woman, however, her daughter is not seen. With regard to Solomon, since he had 1000 wives and concubines mostly from abroad, mothers of Solomon's children are unclear.

Findings on Jewish mtDNA Haplogroups
As far as "N" regions, "H" is generally the most frequent haplogroup including Sephardi Jewish population. However, Ashkenazi Jewish population is somewhat different. "K" is the most frequent haplogroup exclusively among Ashkenazi Jewish population. The birthplace of "K" is said to be northeastern Italy. "K" is frequent in Cyprus, located in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, west of Syria, Lebanon, south of Turkey, northwest of Israel. "K" could be distinctive of Ashkenazi Jewish population, while the relation between Ashkenazi Jewish population and the origin of "K" is unclear.
In addition, "K" is not distinctive of Sephardi Jewish population. "K" is rather frequent among French population compared with Sephardi Jewish population. Then "K" would not be a sign of the legitimate Children of Israel.
On the other hand, "H" is frequent among Sephardi Jewish population. However, "H" is rather more frequent among other populations such as Spanish and German. Then "H" would not be a sign of the Children of Israel. In contrast, "X" seems distinctive of Sephardi Jewish population. "X" is said to be frequent among the Druze, a minority population in Syria, Lebanon, and Israel. However, whether it could be a sign of the Children of Israel or not seems unclear.
* "Haplogroup X (mtDNA) in Wikipedia" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_X_(mtDNA)
Consequently, mitochondrial DNA haplogroups can't successfully identify the Children of Israel. It would be also a limit of present-day DNA science.

Distinction of Japanese mitochondrial DNA
In contrast to the distinction of Japanese Y-DNA, Japanese mitochondrial DNAs are not so distinctive compared with adjacent populations such as Korean and Han Chinese. Still, "G" among Japanese population might be somewhat distinctive. "G" is said to be frequent in northeastern Siberia (the Kamchatka Peninsula). "G" is also exclusively seen among Japanese and Ainu (like Y-DNA haplogroup D). However, "G" is yet "M" group (East Asian mtDNA). MtDNAs seen in Japan are mostly similar to Han's. Then Japanese mtDNAs (women) couldn't be particularly associated with the Middle East.
It implies that migrants from the west to the east were mostly males.
On the other hand, haplogroup Y is seen among Ainu people at the northern end of the Japanese archipelago. Yet, high frequency of haplogroup Y among Nivkh people located in Sakhalin Island just on the north of Ainu's region accounts for it.
