IJK Haplogroup is a human
Y-chromosome DNA Haplogroup. This Haplogroup is a descendant branch of the
Haplogroup
F with Haplogroup IJ and Haplogroup K as its attested descendants.
According to
Family Tree DNA,
the two SNPs defining this Haplogroup unite I, J, and K within F as a "brother
clade" to
G
and
H.
Family Tree DNA
further states that Haplogroup IJK's relationship with Haplogroup F1 through
F4 is unknown.
