I should have written "most basally diverse" but otherwise haplogroup F is divided into:· F* (paraphyletic clade found in various areas but notably in India)· F1 (Sri Lanka)· F2 (SE Asia)· F3 (India and West Eurasia)· F4 (India)· G (West Eurasia)· H (South Asia)· IJK (across Eurasia)So 6/8 basal subclades of F are from South Asia (many of them very specifically so). No other continental region even approaches such high levels of basal diversity of Y-DNA F. Let's get real, please: F looks very much as coalesced in South Asia. |
