Variants of J-M267 and Origins Discussion
J-M267 has several recognized sub-clades, some of which were recognized before J-M267 itself was recognized, for example J-M62. But with one notable exception, J-P58, most of these are not common. Because of the dominance of J-P58 in J-M267 populations in many areas, discussion of J-M267's origins require a discussion of J-P58 at the same time. As a basic observation, since the discovery of haplogroup J-P209 (often referred to as EU10 in older studies) it has generally been recognized that it shows signs of having originated in or near the Middle East. The frequency and diversity of both J-M267 and J-M172 in that region makes them candidates as genetic markers of the spread of farming technology during the Neolithic, which is proposed to have had a major impact upon human populations.
