J Haplogroup is believed to have
arisen roughly 30,000 years ago in Southwest Asia. It is most closely related
to
I Haplogroup,
as both Haplogroup I and Haplogroup J have mutations in common deriving from
IJ
Haplogroup.
Haplogroup J is found in greatest concentration
in Southwest Asia. Outside of these regions, Haplogroup J has a moderate
presence in Southern Europe (especially in central and southern Italy, Greece,
and Albania), Central Asia, and South Asia, particularly in the form of its
subclade J2-M172.
