Bulgaria would see millions of migrants come and go for the following tens of millennia, yet these men serve as both a relic of a time when humans coexisted with Neanderthals in Europe, and a time stamp on our phylogenetic Y chromosome tree.<\/p>\n<p>We can say with certainty where the haplogroup was at a specific time. The Bacho Kiro men happen to be ancient forms of haplogroups C and F, which were among the first to either leave Africa or evolve in the Middle East once humans first left Africa some 55,000 years ago.<\/p>\n<h2>The Ancient Ancestors of Haplogroups K, P, and R in Siberia<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=&#8221;78010&#8243; caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_lightbox=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_width_percent=&#8221;58&#8243; lbox_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; lbox_social=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;662339&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;143862&#8243;]Another rare, yet crucial, evolutionary haplogroup common in our Paleolithic ancestors was haplogroup K. We first see the haplogroup in Central Asia 42,000 years ago in a man from the Ust-Ishim district of southern Siberia.<\/p>\n<p>Haplogroup K eventually gave rise to haplogroup P, another rare lineage among living men. Yet P is the direct phylogenetic ancestor to haplogroup R, which, in contrast, is the most common haplogroup in Europe, the Americas, and in the FamilyTreeDNA database.<\/p>\n<p>Haplogroup P was first seen in Yana, Siberia, further north, and much later, some 30,000 years ago. The oldest haplogroup R individual is the Mal&#8217;ta boy, also from northern Siberia, who lived there 22,000 years ago.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=&#8221;78011&#8243; caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_lightbox=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_width_percent=&#8221;40&#8243; lbox_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; lbox_social=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;189032&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;934398&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2>The Ancient Ancestors of Haplogroups I and E in Southern Europe and North Africa<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=&#8221;78015&#8243; caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_lightbox=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_width_percent=&#8221;35&#8243; lbox_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; lbox_social=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;146529&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;165804&#8243;]A few other highlights to come from the 5,000 ancient connections available for matching, are the Gravettian twins from Central Europe, which belong to an ancient form of Haplogroup I. The haplogroup is another high frequency haplogroup among our Big Y family. Known as the Krems twins, these identical newborns were discovered in modern day Austria and belonged to a version of I that no longer exists today.<\/p>\n<p>Across the Mediterranean are the oldest members of haplogroup E ever found, at 13,000 years old, at a site called Grotte des Pigeons in Northern Morocco. Haplogroup E is still common today in north Africa and across southern Europe. Haplogroup E can also be linked to the historical Carthaginian invasion of Iberia and Italy by the infamous Hannibal and his army of war elephants. For comparison, Hora 19529 from Malawi belongs to haplogroup B and, at 14,000 years old, is the oldest sample sequenced from sub-Saharan Africa.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=&#8221;78016&#8243; caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_lightbox=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_width_percent=&#8221;60&#8243; lbox_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; lbox_social=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;173019&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;104261&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2>The Ancient Ancestors of Haplogroup Q in the Americas<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=&#8221;78017&#8243; caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_lightbox=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_width_percent=&#8221;50&#8243; lbox_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; lbox_social=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;294351&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;442671&#8243;]Across the pond in the Americas, the boy known today as Anzick 1, who lived 11,000 years ago, is the oldest member of haplogroup Q in all of the new world.
