This is my haplogroup R1b migration map. I wonder if the 'spur' just above 'M45' are the people that became the Ainu of Japan?

Mysterious building discovered in emperor's tomb
Last Updated(Beijing Time):2007-07-01 10:33
Chinese archaeologists said that after five years of research they have confirmed that there is a 30-meter-high building buried in the tomb of Qinshihuang, Chinese first emperor more than 2,000 years ago.
The building, buried in the 51-meter-high, pyramid-like earth above the tomb's main body underground, has four surrounding stair-like walls and each wall with nine steps of platforms, said Duan Qingbo, a researcher with Shaanxi Institute of Archaeology.
The whole building were buried under the earth, which made it difficult for researchers to get a complete picture of it, according to Duan.
Duan said he believed the building may have been built for the soul of the emperor to go out.
Duan said they began to carry out research on the mausoleum's internal structure in 2002 with remote sensing technology, for it has not been allowed to be excavated.
The Qinshihuang's mausoleum is located near Xi'an, capital of northwest China's Shaanxi Province.
In the 1970s, about 1,500 terracotta warriors and horses were unearthed from surrounding pits of the mausoleum. Warriors and horses were believed to be buried with Qin in order to safeguard him after his death.
Qinshihuang, who unified China in 221 BC, became the first emperor of a unified China.

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.
