This is my haplogroup R1b migration map. I wonder if the 'spur' just above 'M45' are the people that became the Ainu of Japan?
They’re based on the original design at Babel- which all cultures originally knew about. It was an archetype.
Well, since the “spur” apparently terminates somewhere around Uzbekistan/Kazakhstan, it is likely one of the constituents of the melting pot that is the Central Asia.
That spur is R2 and terminates there because this chart only relates to me and the R1 haplogroup. I didn't pay enough to see the R2, lol.
The only way to know for sure is to find M45 indicators in Ainu. However, if the emergence of M45 really did take place 40K years ago, there would have been significant evolutionary divergence since then. In fact, that is believed to be the time when Caucasoids and Mongoloids split from a common ancestral population. Perhaps this common ancestral population was similar to the long-isolated Ainu, who anyway appear to share genetic and physical traits with Southeast Asians and Australoids.
Click on the various dates at the top then move your curser over the arrow/trail to get the dna type. DNA will eventually solve all these questions but appears to be a little murky yet.
