Y-DNA = papas
Papas don't pass on mtDNA, their mom's mtDNA dies with them, but to their male progeny they pass on their Y-DNA marker practically intact. The end result is that other than maleness, practically no genetic code from the male side is passed to the remote offsprings. Instead, they pass on their dominant traditions and economy. Numerically, the female X-chromosome contains about 2000 genes, and the male Y-chromosome contains 78 genes, out of the minimum of 20,000 genes in the human genome, a pitiful contribution.
But papas pass their Y-DNA marker intact, while mt-DNA is constantly changing from generation to generation, which makes Y-DNA an indispensible holder of historical information. At the same time Y chromosome is one of the fastest evolving parts of the human genome. Tracing Y-DNA marker and its subtle changes allowed to build phylogenic trees and date them.
Unlike mtDNA, the Y-DNA does not correlate with geographical, linguistic, or phenotype domains. The same Y-DNA may be found in the east and in the west, across numerous linguistic groups, among Caucasoid, Negroid, and Mongoloid populace, while the mtDNA has expressed domains, and may be attributed to the east and the west, has some linguistic correlation, and some phenotype correlation. In the plot used in the “The King and I”, Margaret Landon eloquently expressed this phenomena as “A man is like the honey bee, to fly from blossom to blossom, a honey bee must be free, but blossom must not ever fly from bee to bee, to bee”. A bee is free to move from a rose to a cherry tree, marking its trace with Y-DNA, but roses don't start producing cherries, it is the domain of the egg and sperm nucleus. Offspring inherit one allele for each trait from each parent, thereby ensuring that offspring have a combination of the parents' genes.
Папы не передают свою мтДНК, мтДНК их мам практически умирает с ними, но своему мужскому потомству свой маркер Y-ДНК они передают почти неизменным. В конечном счете с мужской стороны на практике отдаленому потомству не передается никакой генетический код кроме гена мужского пола. Вместо генетического кода они передают свои основные традиции и хозяйство. Численно, женская X-хромосома содержит около 2000 генов, а мужская Y-хромосома содержит 78 генов, жалкий вклад в геном человека состоящий из по меньшей мере из 20 000 генов.
Папы передают свой Y-ДНК маркер нетронутым, а МТ-ДНК постоянно меняется от поколения до поколения, это делает Y-ДНК единственным маркером исторической информации. Прослеживание Y-ДНК маркера и его незримых изменений позволяет высчитывать и датировать филогенетические древья.
В отличие от мтДНК, Y-ДНК не коррелирует с географическими, лингвистическими или фенотипными доменами. Ту же Y-ДНК можно найти на востоке и на западе, у многочисленных языковых групп, среди кавказоидных, негроидных и монголоидных населений, в то время как мтДНК имеет выраженные домены и может быть связана с востоком и западом, иметь некоторую языковую корреляцию, и некоторую фенотипную корреляцию. В сюжете использованном в“Король и я”, Маргарет Лэндон красноречиво выразила это явление как“Мужчина, как пчелка, идет от цветка к цветку, пчелка должна быть свободной, но цветы никогда не должны летать от пчелки до пчелки, до пчелки”. Пчела перемещается свободно от розы до черешни, отмечая свой след маркером Y-ДНК, но розы не начинают приносить вишни, это задача ядeр яйцеклетки и спермы. Потомство наследует один аллель каждого признака от каждого родителя, тем самым обеспечивая что потомство имет сочетание генов родителей.

Y-DNA marker can be compared with golden dust from a creek that flows into a rivulet that merges with the other rivers, and at the estuary divides into many branches. The dust settled on the bottom does not reach the estuary of the present time, and the dust that came down to the estuary marks a trace from the creek through the entire river system to the present day and our demographic reality. The laminar areas of the system carry dust in parallel streams, stagnant areas are losing most of markers, and turbulent regions stir everything that flows into them, diluting the relative homogeneity of the laminar jet with additives from other laminar jets. Each sleeve of estuary gathers a different set of markers from different sources.
The picture can be slightly clarified by changes in the structure of the dust particles. By calculating their original form, it is possible to trace a pattern of their change in the stream in time, and to determine the relative and absolute age. Tracking changes of the Y-DNA marker allows to calculate and date a haplotype tree. This is Molecular History.
Y-ДНК маркер можно сравнить с золотистой пылью из источника, который вливается в речку, сливающуюся с другими реками, и у устья разделяющйся на множество рукавов. Пыль, осевшая на дно, не доходит до устья современности, а пыль, дошедшая до устья, отмечает трассу от источника через всю речную систему до наших дней и нашей демографической реальности. Ламинарные участки системы несут пыль параллельными потоками, застойные участки теряют большинство маркеров, а турбулентные участки перемешивают все что в них вливается, разбавляя относительную однородность ламинарной струи добавками из других  ламинарных струй. В каждом рукаве устья собирается свой набор маркеров из различных источников.
Слегка прояснить картину помогают изменения в структуре самих пылинок. Высчитав их первоначальную форму, возможно проследить закономерность в их изменении в потоке времени, и определить относительный и абсолютный возраст. Прослеживание изменений Y-ДНК маркера позволяет высчитывать и датировать древья гаплотипов. Это-Молекулярная История.

Being biological sequins, markers can multiply, and in favorable conditions replace other markers, for example a feudal can fertilize all dames in his possession, producing male offspring of others only with his marker. In a society with widespread landowning elite belonging to a dominant ethnic group, Y-DNA markers of this group in a few generations would replace the markers of the more numerous serfs, coming to the fore in the relative prevalence. In the parlance of the population genetics, such genetical expansion is termed“meditated by males”
Будучи биологическими блесточками, маркеры могут умножаться, и в благоприятных обстоятельствах заменять другие маркеры, как например владетель крепостных может оплодотворять всех дам в своем владении, производя чужих отпрысков мужского пола исключительно с его маркером. В обществе повсеместной принадлежностью землевладельческой элиты к доминантной этнической группе, Y-ДНК маркеры этой группы за несколько поколений заменят маркеры более многочисленных крепостных, выйдя на первый план по относительной распространенности. На жаргоне популяционной генетики, такое генетическое распространение называется“посредством мужчин”.

Distribution of Y-chromosome haplotypes in 10 ethnic groups of Siberia and Middle Asia belonging to Altaic language family (Tuva, Buriat, Northern and Southern Altai, Evenk, Kirghiz, Uzbek, Siberian Tatar, Uighur,Yakut) was investigated in order to reconstruct the evolution of paternal lineages in North Eurasia.
In modern North Eurasian populations were found high level of gene diversity (H=1.00) and substantial degree of genetic differentiation of male-specific gene pool (Fst = 0.212). Most haplotypes in modern Altaic population have common ancestry traced back to the Upper Paeleolithic period (about 15 kya). According to AMOVA results, 5.7% of observed diversity is due to differences between language groups of Altaic family, 19.9% is due to differences between populations within language groups, and only 74.3% of genetic diversity is attributable to within-population level.
In most populations werer found more than one lineage. Most ancient lineages (7-12 kya) were found in Uzbek and Kirgiz Türkic-speaking populations of the Middle Asia. Among native Siberian populations most ancient Y lineages was observed in Türkic ethnic groups in Altai and Tuva. The age of Siberian lineages obtained from the microsatellite variance within the 'binary' haplogroup were 5 to 6 kya.
Mongol-speaking Buryats and Evenks, belonging to Tungus branch, have relatively 'young' lineages in their male-specific gene pool. Age of two main Y-chromosome clusters in Buryats were 2,800 and 4,500 kya, and the age of Evenk lineages were 2-3 kya. Using the molecular variance of microsatellite haplotypes was estimated the age of ancestral haplotypes for 'binary' haplogroups. The age of DYF155S2 deletion was estimated as about 6,9 kya, and the age of T-C transition at Tat locus as 4,2 kya.

Y-DNA HAPLOGROUP DEFINITIONS
Family Tree DNA provided the following thumbnail summaries of the different haplogroups :
  • Haplogroup B is one of the oldest Y-chromosome lineages in humans. Haplogroup B is found exclusively in Africa, it is the only African haplogroup among the Eurasian haplogroup branch of B through T, leading to a suggestion that it returned to Africa after its emergence in Eurasia. This lineage was the first to disperse around Africa. Haplogroup B appears at low frequency all around Africa, its highest frequency in Pygmy populations.
  • Haplogroup C is found throughout mainland Asia, the south Pacific, and at low frequency in Native American populations. Haplogroup C originated in southern Asia and spread in all directions. This lineage colonized New Guinea, Australia, and north Asia, and currently is found with its highest diversity in populations of India. In Eurasia, it is a leading haplogroup of the Tungus people, with spillovers to the Tungus neighbors, present Mongols.
  • Haplogroup C3 is believed to have originated in southeast or central Asia. This lineage then spread into northern Asia, and then into the Americas.
  • Haplogroup D2 most likely derived from the D lineage in Japan. It is completely restricted to Japan, and is a very diverse lineage within the aboriginal Japanese and in the Japanese population around Okinawa.
  • Haplogroup E3a is an Africa lineage. It is currently hypothesized that this haplogroup dispersed south from northern Africa within the last 3,000 years, by the Bantu agricultural expansion. E3a is also the most common lineage among African Americans.
  • Haplogroup E3b is believed to have evolved in the Middle East. It expanded into the Mediterranean during the Pleistocene Neolithic expansion. It is currently distributed around the Mediterranean, southern Europe, and in north and east Africa. Haplogroup E3b is connected with maritime spread in Europe and Semitic languages.
  • Haplogroup G may have originated in India or Pakistan, and has dispersed into central Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. The G2 branch of this lineage (containing the P15 mutation) is found most often in Europe and the Middle East.
  • Haplogroup H is nearly completely restricted to India, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan. It was decimated in Europe during 4th-3rd mill. BC population replacement by A1b Kurgan people. European Haplogroup H people were settled farmers.
  • Haplogroups I, I1, and I1a are nearly completely restricted to northwestern Europe (Nordics). These would most likely have been common within Viking populations. One lineage of this group extends down into central Europe. Haplogroup I forms the base of the Slavic populations.
  • Haplogroup I1b was derived within Scandinavian Paleolithic populations in northwest Europe and has since spread down into southern Europe where it is present at low frequencies.
  • Haplogroup J is found at highest frequencies in Middle Eastern and north African populations where it most likely evolved. This marker has been carried by Middle Eastern traders into Europe, central Asia, India, and Pakistan. Spread of farming to Europe is attributed to spread of Haplogroup J.
  • Haplogroup J2 originated in the northern portion of the Fertile Crescent where it later spread throughout central Asia, the Mediterranean, and south into India. As with other populations with Mediterranean ancestry this lineage is found within Jewish populations. The Cohen modal lineage is found in Haplogroup J2, somewhat recent line.
  • Haplogroup Q is the lineage that links Asia and the Americas. This lineage is found in North and Central Asian populations as well as native Americans. This lineage is believed to have originated in Central Asia and migrated through the Altai/Baikal region of northern Eurasia into the Americas.
  • Haplogroup Q3 is the only lineage strictly associated with native American populations. This haplogroup is defined by the presence of the M3 mutation (also known as SY103). This mutation occurred on the Q lineage 8-12 thousand years ago as the migration into the Americas was underway. There is some debate as to on which side of the Bering Strait this mutation occurred, but it definitely happened in the ancestors of the Native American peoples.
  • Haplogroup R1a is believed to have originated in the Eurasian Steppes south of Siberia 20kya. These people were believed to be the first speakers of the Indo-European language group, formed in 4th-3rd mill. BC the N.Pontic refuge by the refugees from the Kurgan carnage. This lineage is currently found in central and western Asia, India, among Türkic populations, and in Slavic populations of Eastern Europe.
  • Haplogroup R1b is believed to have originated in the Eurasian Steppes south of Siberia 16kya. From this lineage originated population of the Kurgan culture, known for the domestication of the horse (approximately 6000 BC), it expanded east and west from the Pontic steppes, reached Western Europe via overland Kurgan waves and via circum-Mediterranean route, decimated farming populace of Europe in 4th-3rd mill. BC, and became the most common haplogroup in European populations. This lineage is the haplogroup containing the Atlantic modal haplotype (HG1). The Haplogroup R1b is identified with non-IE languages of Eurasia and pre-1000 BC Europe, and is identified with populations of the Türkic linguistic family.
  • Haplogroup T remains a promising puzzle, it is genetically close to R/R1a/R1b, it evolved about 13 kya, and may be a valuable tracing tool.
