Haplogroup C-M130

Haplogroup C is a major Y-chromosome haplogroup, defined by UEPs M130/RPS4Y711, P184, P255, and P260, which are all SNP mutations. It is one of two primary branches of Haplogroup CF alongside Haplogroup F. Haplogroup C is found in ancient populations on every continent except Africa and is the predominant Y-DNA haplogroup among males belonging to many peoples indigenous to East Asia, Central Asia, Siberia, North America and Australia as well as a some populations in Europe, the Levant, and later Japan.

This article is about the human Y-DNA haplogroup. For the human mtDNA haplogroup, see Haplogroup C (mtDNA).
Haplogroup C
Possible time of origin53,000 years BP
Possible place of originSouthwest Asia, via out-of-Africa migrations
AncestorCF
DescendantsC1 F3393/Z1426 (previously CxC3)
C2 (previously C3*) M217
Defining mutationsM130/RPS4Y711, P184, P255, P260

The haplogroup is also found with moderate to low frequency among many present-day populations of Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Southwest Asia.

In addition to the basal paragroup C*, this haplogroup now has two major branches: C1 (F3393/Z1426; previously CxC3, i.e. old C1, old C2, old C4, old C5 and old C6) and C2 (M217; the former C3).
