The table below lists the frequencies – identified by major studies – of various haplogroups amongst selected ethnic groups from the Caucasus. The first two columns list the ethnic and linguistic affiliations of the individuals studied, the third column gives the sample size studied, and the other columns give the percentage of the ...
Listed here are notable ethnic groups and populations from West Asia, Egypt and South Caucasus by human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroups based on relevant studies. The samples are taken from individuals identified with the ethnic and linguistic designations in the first two columns, the third column gives the sample size studied, and the other columns give the percentage of the particular haplogroup.
The various ethnolinguistic groups found in the Caucasus, Central Asia, Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and/or South Asia demonstrate differing rates of particular Y-DNA haplogroups. In the table below, the first two columns identify ethnolinguistic groups.
The genetic history of the Middle East is the subject of research within the fields of human population genomics, archaeogenetics and Middle Eastern studies.Researchers use Y-DNA, mtDNA, and other autosomal DNA tests to identify the genetic history of ancient and modern populations of Egypt, Persia, Mesopotamia, Anatolia, Arabia, the Levant, and other areas.
A haplotype is a group of alleles in an organism that are inherited together from a single parent, [1] [2] and a haplogroup (haploid from the Greek: ἁπλοῦς, haploûs, "onefold, simple" and English: group) is a group of similar haplotypes that share a common ancestor with a single-nucleotide polymorphism mutation.

Joseph Stalin (born Ioseb Besarionis dzе Jugashvili) was, according to a genetic test on one of his grandsons (Alexander Burdonsky), a member of Y-DNA haplogroup G2a1a (FGC595/Z6553). [ 5 ] [ 55 ] Al Capone was an American gangster and businessman who, according to Geni.com , was a member of Y-DNA haplogroup G-P303.
Caucasus hunter-gatherer (CHG), also called Satsurblia cluster, [1] [2] is an anatomically modern human genetic lineage, first identified in a 2015 study, [3] [1] based on the population genetics of several modern Western Eurasian (European, Caucasian and Near Eastern) populations.
Distribution of Haplogroup J (Y-DNA) J-M267 (J1) is the second most common Y chromosome haplogroup in North Africa. It originated in the Middle East, and its highest frequency of 30%–62.5% has been observed in Arab, Assyrians, Mandean, Mizrahi and Georgian populations in Western Asia and south Caucasus. [20]
