Haplogroup IJK is a
human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup. IJK is a primary branch of the macrohaplogroup
HIJK. Its direct descendants are
haplogroup IJ and
haplogroup K.
Distribution and structure
The basal paragroup HIJK* has been found in a
Mesolithic

The Magdalenian cultures (also Madelenian; French: ''Magdalénien'') are later cultures of the Upper Paleolithic and Mesolithic in western Europe. They date from around 17,000 to 12,000 years ago. It is named after the type site of La Madele ...
), GoyetQ-2, and the basal IJK was found in an
Upper Paleolithic European (
Gravettian), Vestonice16.
Populations with high proportions of males who belong to descendant major haplogroups of Haplogroup HIJK live across widely dispersed areas and populations.
Subclades of IJK are now concentrated in males native to:
*
Europe (e. g. haplogroups I, J, R and N);
*the
Caucasus,
Near East
The ''Near East''; he, המזרח הקרוב; arc, ܕܢܚܐ ܩܪܒ; fa, خاور نزدیک, Xāvar-e nazdik; tr, Yakın Doğu is a geographical term which roughly encompasses a transcontinental region in Western Asia, that was once the hist ...

(e.g. haplogroups J and T);
*
South Asia (e.g. haplogroups J, L and R);
*
East Asia，
Southeast Asia,
Oceania, and the
Pacific (e. g. haplogroups K, M, O, P, S)
*
Northern Eurasia, (e.g. haplogroups N and Q) and;
*
Native American peoples (e. g. haplogroup Q and R).
