Y-DNA Haplotree Rooted at IJ (Arphaxad)

Root: IJ (Arphaxad, Shem)





Defining SNPs: M429, M168, M89 (~43,000 years).



Shared SNPs: M429, M168, M89 (with F, K; M168 with E, D, C).



Unique SNPs: M429.



Notes: Represents Semitic peoples (Genesis 10:22, Arphaxad). All haplogroups descend from IJ, branching near-contemporaneously by birth order. C (Nimrod) is not a grandson of Noah.

Branch 1: Shem’s Lineage (Semitic)





J (M304):





Unique SNPs: M304.



Shared SNPs: M429, M168, M89.



Descendants:





I (M170): Includes I1 (Dan, Scandinavia), I2 (Asher, Balkans/Central Europe).





Unique SNPs: M170.



Shared SNPs: M429, M168, M89, M304.



J1 (M267): Arabs, Hebrews.



J2 (M172): Neolithic Middle East/South Asia.



Notes: I as J’s subclade aligns with Dan, Asher as Israelite tribes.



H (M69, Elam):





Unique SNPs: M69.



Shared SNPs: M429, M168, M89.



Notes: South Asia (e.g., Romani), Elam (Genesis 10:22).

Unique SNPs: M201.



Shared SNPs: M429, M168, M89.



Notes: Caucasus/Europe, Asshur (Genesis 10:22).



F (F-SNP1, Aram and Lud):





Unique SNPs: F-SNP1 (or M213, hypothetical).



Shared SNPs: M429, M168, M89.



Descendants:





F1–F5 (Aram): Hypothetical subclades, Middle East (Genesis 10:22).



F-undefined (Lud): Middle East.



K (M9, Tubal): See below.

Branch 2: Japheth’s Lineage (Eurasian, Birth Order: K → L → NO → P → Q → R → T)
