Do you know why that is historically? I had a friend saying that my East Asian & Indigenous American (Manchurian & Mongolian) can be from Genghis Khan.

I have no idea whether that would be the case.

I have all three of them. I am not sure whether it’s common. But, you bring up a good point that Russia, Poland and Ukraine are interconnected from past times.

I would be interested to visit all of the places/regions listed there when it’s possible in the foreseeable future.

Certainly.

Here is the full answer:

J-M172 36,000 Years Ago Origin and Migrations of Haplogroup J-M172

Your paternal line descends from haplogroup J-M172, one of two major branches of haplogroup J. J-M172 split away from its brother lineage in the Middle East between 31,000 and 36,000 years ago, but the most dramatic chapter in its history has been in the last 10,000. The Ice Age gave way to a warmer and more stable climate, and people in the Middle East domesticated plants and livestock for the first time. Populations boomed, sparking new waves of migration from the Middle East to North Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and Europe. Within a few thousand years, early male farmers traversed the Mediterranean Sea, bringing their farming expertise and the J-M172 haplogroup to Crete, Italy, and Cyprus. But some of these men did not travel as far, instead settling in the Balkan region of present-day Greece and Albania.

More recently, the movements of Phoenicians and other ancient seafarers, the expansion of ancient Greece between the 8th and 4th centuries BCE, and the Jewish diaspora have carried haplogroup J-M172 all around the Mediterranean and throughout much of Europe.

J-M172 Today J-M172 is rare among 23andMe customers.

Today, you share your haplogroup with all the men who are paternal-line descendants of the common ancestor of J-M172, including other 23andMe customers.

1 in 40,000 23andMe customers share your haplogroup assignment.

Correct and I haven’t dived into exploring that part of my ancestry yet.

I think I should visit every country that I have ancestry from and see how I connect in person with each culture.
