Draft:Haplogroup Q-BY110062

Haplogroup Q-BY110062 is one of the Y-Chromosome haplogroups. Q-BY110062 as a subclade of Q-MEH2. , a subclade of haplogroup Q-M242 and a subclade of haplogroup Q-M3.

Relationship of Q-BY110062 and Other Subclades
The closest haplogroups to Q-BY110062 are other subclades of Haplogroup Q, such as Q-L54, Q-L53, Q-M3, Q-M242, and Q-MEH2.

Origin
According to research from FamilyTreeDNA Q-BY110062's paternal line was formed when it branched off from the ancestor Q-BY135208 and the rest of mankind around 950 CE. The man who is the most recent common ancestor of this line is estimated to have been born around 1350 CE

The prevailing theory of how Q-BY110062 reached the Americas is that the ancestors of Indigenous peoples in the Americas migrated from Siberia to Alaska across the Bering land bridge (Beringia) during the last Ice Age, when sea levels were lower and a land connection existed between Asia and North America. From Alaska, these groups then migrated southward into the Americas, eventually spreading across North and South America.

Northern Europe
Haplogroup Q-BY110062 is very rare in Europe, with the highest frequency found among the Saami people of northern Scandinavia. However, even among the Saami, the frequency of this haplogroup is relatively low compared to other haplogroups. It is important to note that Haplogroup Q-BY110062 is generally not considered to be a European haplogroup, as it is believed to have originated in East Asia and primarily found in indigenous populations of the Americas and Siberia.

Greenland
According to a study published in the American Journal of Human Genetics in 2015, Haplogroup Q is found in small frequencies among the Inuit population of Greenland.

Siberia
Haplogroup Q-BY110062 is most commonly found among indigenous peoples of Siberia, particularly among the Evenki, Yakut, and Koryak populations. It is estimated that up to 90% of Koryaks and up to 80% of Yakuts carry this haplogroup.

US and Canada
In the United States and Canada, the highest frequency of Haplogroup Q-BY110062 is found among certain Indigenous peoples, particularly those of the Arctic and Subarctic regions. These include the Inuit (Eskimo) people of Alaska, Canada, and Greenland, as well as the Yupik and Aleut peoples of Alaska.

Outside of these Indigenous groups, Haplogroup Q-BY110062 is relatively rare in the general population of the United States and Canada. It has been found in small percentages among some Hispanic/Latino populations.

Other Regions
Haplogroup Q-BY110062 is also found at lower frequencies in other parts of the world, such as Central Asia, particularly among some populations in the Altai region of Russia and Kazakhstan, as well as in some populations of Mongolia and China. It has also been found in small frequencies among some indigenous populations of the Pacific islands, such as in Melanesia and Polynesia, as well as among some populations in Southeast Asia, such as in the Philippines and Malaysia.
