Origin

Haplogroup Z is believed to have arisen in Central Asia, and is a descendant of haplogroup CZ.

The TMRCA of Z1 is 20,400 5% CI 7,400 <-> 34,000ybp according to Sukernik ''et al.'' 2012, 20,400 5% CI 7,800 <-> 33,800ybp according to Fedorova ''et al.'' 2013, or 19,600 5% CI 12,500 <-> 29,300ybp according to YFull. Among the members (Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4, and Z7) of haplogroup Z, Nepalese populations were characterized by rare clades Z3a1a and Z7, of which Z3a1a was the most frequent sub-clade in Newar, with a frequency of 16.5%. Z3, found in East Asia, North Asia, and MSEA, is the oldest member of haplogroup Z with an estimated age of ~ 25.4 Kya. Haplogroup Z3a1a is also detected in other Nepalese populations, such as Magar (5.4%), Tharu, Kathmandu (mixed population) and Nepali-other (mixed population from Kathmandu and Eastern Nepal). S6).
