It's woven into the very fabric of our being, an innate aspect of our collective identity. There is something inside us all that propels us to move and explore. Understanding the patterns and timelines of human migration is essential, as it sheds light on our shared history and how we have populated the world over the past ~220,000 years since the emergence of our species. (Elhaik et al. 2014)</p>
<p>One fascinating thread in this narrative is the journey of the Y chromosome J haplogroup. The J haplogroup represents a large lineage of genetic markers on the Y chromosome. J is separated into subclades J1 and J2 and they, in turn, can be separated into further subclades.</p>
<p>The geographical origin of this clade has been debated for over 20 years. With 37% prevalence, J is the most common haplogroup among Ashkenazic Jews (Das et al. 2016) (J1a is 20%, J2a is 13%, and J2b is 4%), which only intensified the discussion of its origin.</p>
