DNA Haplogroups breakdown



quick Haplogroup summaries (these are summaries and not meant to be a complete description of each)

Haplogroup A is found mainly among the Khoi-San people of Africa , as well as in Sudan(specifically Nilotic Tribes in South Sudan) , and at small amounts throughout Africa .

Haplogroup B is found mainly among Pygmy and Hadzabe populations in Africa and interesting up to 50 % of the Nuer people of Sudan which is another Nilotic Language group.

Haplogroup DE is honestly an imagined Haplogroup due to Hap D and Hap E being YAP + they are the first example of "twin" groups so to speak in that a person could test DE and would later be found to be either D or E.

Haplogroup D is found mainly among Tibetans , some Japanese , and the Andaman Islanders

Haplogroup E is a majority of Africans , African Americans , Semetic peoples (North Africans , middle East) , as well as some in the Mediternean World and Europe

Haplogroup C is a real diverse Haplogroup as it makes up a good percentage of Mongols , Ainu , Na-Dene Amerindians , some other Amerindians , Australian Aborigines , also some found in India , Southeast Asia , China , and Polynesia

Haplogroup F is almost non-existant on it's own , but has been found in the Lahu people of China , as well as obscure traces throughout Eurasia and Oceania

Haplogroup G is found mainly among the Caucasians but also in Europe

Haplogroup H is found in the Roma people of Europe and India as well as traces throughout south Asia

Haplogroup I is almost exclusive to Europe and is closely related to Haplogroup J

Haplogroup J is found throughout the Mediternean world and in India , it mainly seems to be the haplogroup of Semitic peoples

Haplogroup K can be found in Polynesia and among Australian Aborigines

Haplogroup L is found mainly in India , among Dravidian peoples , but also among Aryans of India

Haplogroup T is widespread being found in South Europe , Egypt , Middle East , and India , this is the group that was believed to be the Phoenician group.

Haplogroup M is found in Melanesia
 

Haplogroup N is found for the most part among Uralic speaking peoples in North Eurasia

Haplogroup O is found among Han Chinese , East Asians , Austro-Asian speakers , Austronesian speakers

Haplogroup P is like Haplogroup DE in that it is kind of a "fake" group as it's members are really either Q or R

Haplogroup Q is the Amerindian Haplogroup in the main , also found in Siberia and Scandinavia

Haplogroup R is the Indo-European Haplogroup and it has been found in every continent of the World

Haplogroup S is found in Melanesia

The problem with Tradition

The problem with the Japheth tradition is that it says that Japheth was the father of the Indo-European peoples and because he is the father of these people this is why they have "expanded" over the Earth . The problem with this is that the Indo-European people are one haplogroup (Hap R) of the NOP peoples or the North Peoples , and if you throw K into that equation then Haplogroup R is one Haplogroup of  9 or 10 Haplogroups. Either way to say that Japheth and his descendants are just one haplogroup is not realistic and doesn't make any sense. There is a similar problem with Shem where they say that he is just the Afro-Asian or Semitic Language family and peoples , there are SEVERAL problems with that belief , the first one would be that the Egyptians , Ethiopians , and Canaanites all spoke the Semitic language in very ancient times and they were Hamite groups , and secondly Afro-Asian language family has DNA members from both Haplogroup J and Haplogroup E which are on two different sides of the YAP mutation (i.e. different families). Also Haplogroup I and Haplogroup J are close , if this was a family tree they would be twins and Haplogroup I is in Europe not in the middle East and doesn't speak the Afro-Asian Languages. The biggest problem with the traditional view is that they are saying that Japheth was one DNA haplogroup and Shem was one DNA haplogroup and then Ham was the other 18 , this just doesn't make sense.

Noah's sons , grandsons, and DNA

Y Chromosome DNA is the Chromosome passed down by males only and has been studied for years now to seperate all the men on Earth into what they call Haplogroups , but to use plain language "Genetic families". A few things they have found that surprised them (but not anyone that believes the Bible) is that we all come from one male that they call Y Chromosome Adam and regardless of differences in appearance our genetic differences are minor. What I have found of more interest is when you line up Noah , his sons , and grandsons with the Haplogroups  you get an interesting chart :


Descendant        Haplogroup
Noah                 A
Japheth              B
Ham                  C
Shem                 D
Gomer               E
Magog               F
Madai                G
Javan                 H
Tubal                  I
Meshech            J
Tiras                  K
Cush                  L
Mizraim             M
Put                    N
Canaan             O
Elam                 P
Asshur             Q
Arphaxad         R
Lud                  S
Aram               T

Now this list is not meant to be viewed the way it is written , this is just to show how remarkable it matches up . DNA is a major area of study , although it is plagued by the dogmatic intent that it has to be out of Africa no matter what it still does more to prove Genesis than to disprove it . In fact I believe because they interepet it as out of Africa that this is why they have to insert a bunch of hypothesized or "fake" groups into there tree . Examples are the group "BT" which doesn't exist and the group CT which doesn't exist because they are convinced that we came out of Africa . Only time will tell what they unravel about DNA Haplogroups.

Genesis 10 Introduction

Genesis 10

 1Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
 2The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
 3And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
 4And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
 5By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
 6And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
 7And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.
 8And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
 9He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
 10And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
 11Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
 12And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.
 13And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
 14And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.
 15And Canaan begat Sidon his first born, and Heth,
 16And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,
 17And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
 18And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
 19And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.
 20These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
 21Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.
 22The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
 23And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
 24And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
 25And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
 26And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
 27And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
 28And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
 29And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.
 30And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.
 31These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
 32These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.


Genesis 10 gives the list of the descendants of Noah . Chapter 11 then tells how they came to be seperated : 


Genesis 11

 1And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
 2And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
 3And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
 4And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
 5And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
 6And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
 7Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
 8So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
 9Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

Now many "scholars" including Bible ones would try to tell you that the Genesis 10 list is incomplete even my own Archaeological Bible made this claim. The problem with that claim is that it is calling God a liar because chapter 11 makes it clear that they were scattered over the whole Earth. They say this because they believe they can trace most if not all the names to the region of the Middle East but honestly if you use logic that makes sense the families would first settle by each other and Genesis 11 makes it clear that they were trying not to be seperated. We also know in more than one spot that the Nations in Genesis 10 have spread out over the Earth for example in Ezekiel 38 Togarmah is said to be from the "far North". Also in the book of Kings it took the ships of Tarshish 3 years to return from Ophir (1 Kings 9 and 10) .
