HIJK has not been reported in modern populations or in ancient human remains. Previously basal paragroup HIJK* was reported in a
Mesolithic European (
Magdalenian), GoyetQ-2, and
Upper Paleolithic European (
Gravettian), Vestonice16. Later study in 2023 with high quality sequencing of
Magdalenian, GoyetQ-2,
Gravettian, Vestonice16 were assigned with
Haplogroup I. Populations with high proportions of males who belong to descendant major haplogroups of Haplogroup HIJK live across widely dispersed areas and populations. Males belonging to other subclades of IJK are concentrated in, for example: •
Europe and
Central Asia (e. g. haplogroups I, J, N, Q and R); • the
Middle East and
North East Africa (e. g. haplogroups J and T); •
South Asia (e.g. haplogroups H, J, L and R); •
Southeast Asia and
East Asia (e.g. haplogroup N, O, P) •
Oceania (e. g. haplogroups P, K, M, O and S) and; • many
Native American peoples (e. g. haplogroup Q). ==Footnotes==
