Haplogroup IJK


Haplogroup IJK is a human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup. IJK is a primary branch of the macrohaplogroup HIJK. Its direct descendants are haplogroup IJ and haplogroup K.

Distribution and structure

The basal paragroup HIJK* has been found in a Mesolithic European, GoyetQ-2, and the basal IJK was found in an Upper Paleolithic European, Vestonice16..
Populations with high proportions of males who belong to descendant major haplogroups of Haplogroup HIJK live across widely dispersed areas and populations.
Subclades of IJK are now concentrated in males native to:
