There appears to be no C or P/Q*.<br /><br />Jamaica has a little P/Q* that maybe could be native, maybe?<br /><br />I would love to know if Arawak Y haplogroups survived in Jamaica.<br /><br />The other thing is Jamaica was 65% E and 15% R(xR1a). Haiti 69% E and 20% R(xR1a). This is very different from Afram populations (30% European).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000684388615334278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-74297442743664270452012-05-16T09:30:11.531+03:002012-05-16T09:30:11.531+03:00I got curious about when the Lebanese arrived and ...I got curious about when the Lebanese arrived and I found this link which was interesting to me, so I thought I would share it.:)<br /><br />http://jamaica-gleaner.com/pages/history/story0056.htmAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000684388615334278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-47592084226624648162012-05-16T01:21:54.906+03:002012-05-16T01:21:54.906+03:00They were known as Lebanese and were almost comple...They were known as Lebanese and were almost completely integrated, a comfortable facet of Jamaican culture.

While this group has been fairly exogenous, a significant number practise cousin marriage.<br /><br />The Jews apparently arrived much earlier than the above group, in the late 15th century. Like the Syrians, there has also been a fair amount of exogamy and assimilation.<br /><br />I also wanted to comment on two of the Asian groups, Chinese and Indians but I am out of time.AndrewVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07159422973434023764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-44103409615823478502012-05-14T14:50:48.082+03:002012-05-14T14:50:48.082+03:00AdygheChabadi,

There are over 1 million people of Japanese heritage in Brazil and a sizable population in Peru also. There also South Asians, brought as workers by the Portuguese and Spanish (many of them anyway), in these same regions which could account for the detection of some South Asian haplogroups. <br /><br />It is known that there are some Japanese immigrants in Jamaica...so the DE* could represent their presence or some other East Asian group, like the Koreans...it could also just as likely reprent Nigerian heritage as paragroup DE-YAP* has been found there.AdygheChabadihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02303595735003236434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-37554093433267092042012-05-14T01:35:12.180+03:002012-05-14T01:35:12.180+03:00The Jamaican population is also showing some Jewis...The Jamaican population is also showing some Jewish or Near Eastern ancestry.

If they have not tested for any marker of haplogroup D, then this individual should be considered only as DE(xE) and not as DE*. The Jamaican sample includes a characteristically Chinese (or even specifically Southern Chinese) array of O-M175 subclades (2/159 O1a-M119, 1/159 O2-M268, 2/159 O3a-M324(xO3a3b-M7), 1/159 O3a2b-M7), so it is not inconceivable that the researchers might have sampled a Jamaican carrier of haplogroup D of Chinese patrilineal ancestry.Ebizurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16925110639823856429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-40442175776186564272012-05-13T11:53:00.086+03:002012-05-13T11:53:00.086+03:00I am slightly surprise by the small, but signicant...I am slightly surprise by the small, but signicant, presence of 'Chadic' Y-Hap R1b...<br /><br />Although, Haiti was a French colony and so was Cameroun...so maybe not so surprising...<br /><br />Northern Cameroun being where the highest frequencies are found...Y-Hap R1b-V88.AdygheChabadihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02303595735003236434noreply@blogger.com
