Sabitov of The Genetic Legacy of the Mongols. Part 1: The Y-chromosomal Lineages of Chinggis Khan Abstract Batu-Mungke Dayan Khan, a direct descendant of Chinggis Khan (commonly known as Genghis Khan) proved himself to be one of the most influential and powerful rulers in Mongolian history. After experiencing decades of East and West Mongolian political strife and incessant battling, Dayan Khan became the sole survivor of Chinggis Khan’s lineage in Mongolia Proper. Chinggis Khan raised five sons, all of whom reached adulthood. Besides Dayan Khan’s descendants residing in Mongolia Proper, only two other offspring of Chinggis Khan’s family line prevailed in the Central Asian countries of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. These two lineages’ modal haplotypes belong to haplogroup C3 under different subgroups. However, according to a genetic research study, The Genetic Legacy of the Mongols, Chinggis Khan’s descendants number approximately 16 million. One may only hypothes- ize that this calculation is unreasonably inaccurate when studying both the historical and genetic, or genealogical, points-of-view. In this study, we have determined Batu-Mungke Dayan Khan’s haplotype by analyzing 12 Y- chromosomal STR loci of seven surviving elders of the House of Dayan Khan. Our findings differ significantly from those provided in The Genetic Legacy of Mongols. Chinggis Khan’s three surviving lineages’ Y-chromosome DNA test results suggest the near-extinction, not the proliferation, of the direct male descendant line of Chinggis Khan.

You might ask yourself, why use STRs when YFull has already published a phylogenetic tree [15] with time estimates solely based on the stable SNP mutations. There are a variety of good reasons for this: 1 1. Different scientific methods can yield different results. It is good to calculate time estimates using independent methods. If different meth- ods yield the same results, we know that we can trust the methods. Otherwise we should be cautious and search for improvements. 2. Mutations happen by coincidence. There is always a statistical uncer- tainty. Using different methods can help to identify statistical outliers and improve the results. 3. Not all SNPs are suited for genealogical purposes. This could result in wrong time estimates. Even if YFull has carefully crafted it's method to exclude wrong SNPs [1], it is good to have a second method to verify their results. 4. STRs provide a higher time resolution than SNPs.

  • The Phylogenealogy of R-L21: Four and a Half Millennia of Expansion and Redistribution
    The phylogenealogy of R-L21: four and a half millennia of expansion and redistribution Joe Flood* * Dr Flood is a mathematician, economist and data analyst. He was a Principal Research Scientist at CSIRO and has been a Fellow at a number of universities including Macquarie University, University of Canberra, Flinders University, University of Glasgow, University of Uppsala and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. He was a foundation Associate Director of the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute. He has been administrator of the Cornwall Y-DNA Geographic Project and several surname projects at FTDNA since 2007. He would like to give credit to the many ‘citizen scientists’ who made this paper possible by constructing the detailed R1b haplotree over the past few years, especially Alex Williamson. 1 ABSTRACT: Phylogenealogy is the study of lines of descent of groups of men using the procedures of genetic genealogy, which include genetics, surname studies, history and social analysis. This paper uses spatial and temporal variation in the subclade distribution of the dominant Irish/British haplogroup R1b-L21 to describe population changes in Britain and Ireland over a period of 4500 years from the early Bronze Age until the present. The main focus is on the initial spread of L21-bearing populations from south-west Britain as part of the Beaker Atlantic culture, and on a major redistribution of the haplogroup that took place in Ireland and Scotland from about 100 BC. The distributional evidence for a British origin for L21 around 2500 BC is compelling. Most likely the mutation originated in the large Beaker colony in south-west Britain, where many old lineages still survive.

  • Reconstruction of the Lineage Y Chromosome Haplotype Of
    1Institute of Molecular Anthropology, 75005 Paris, France Abstract: As part of the Napoléon I Genome (NIG) project we have reconstructed, based on more than one hundred Y-STRs (Y-short tandem repeats), the complete Y-haplotype of the non-recombinant part of the Y-chromosome (NRY) of French Emperor Napoléon I (1769-1821). We already knew the allelic values at Y-markers of the Y- chromosome of Napoléon I, but only for the palindromic STR YCAIIa and b and for the non-palindromic Y-STR DYS19. The present reconstruction aims to compare the allelic values at Y-STRs of the DNA of Charles Napoléon (C.N.), the living 4th generation descendant of Jérôme Bonaparte (Napoléon I’s youngest brother), with those of Alexandre Colonna Walewski (A.C.W.), the living 4th generation descendant of Count Alexandre Walewski (the son born of the union between Napoléon I and Countess Maria Walewska). We have previously established that Napoléon I, C.N. and A.C.W. are of the same Y-haplogroup E1b1b1b2a1. The allelic values for C.N. and A.C.W. are the same for ninety-three other non-palindromic markers (belonging to ninety different STRs) and for thirty- eight other palindromic markers (belonging to fifteen different STRs); these values then constitute those deduced in the reconstruction of the allelic values of the STR markers of the Napoléon I’s Y-haplotype. Four non-palindromic STRs and two palindromic STRs have different allelic values in C.N. and A.C.W.; we have deduced the allelic value of Napoléon I for one (DYS454), and the probable allelic values for two (Y-GATA-C4 and DYS712) of these non- palindromic variable STRs.

  • Animality, Subjectivity, and Society in Anglo-Saxon England
    IDENTIFYING WITH THE BEAST: ANIMALITY, SUBJECTIVITY, AND SOCIETY IN ANGLO-SAXON ENGLAND A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of English Language and Literature by Matthew E. Spears January 2017 © 2017 Matthew E. Spears IDENTIFYING WITH THE BEAST: ANIMALITY, SUBJECTIVITY, AND SOCIETY IN ANGLO-SAXON ENGLAND Matthew E. Spears, Ph.D. Cornell University, 2017 My dissertation reconsiders the formation of subjectivity in Anglo-Saxon England. It argues that the Anglo-Saxons used crossings of the human-animal divide to construct the subject and the performance of a social role. While the Anglo-Saxons defined the “human” as a form of life distinct from and superior to all other earthly creatures, they also considered most humans to be subjects-in-process, flawed, sinful beings in constant need of attention. The most exceptional humans had to be taught to interact with animals in ways that guarded the self and the community against sin, but the most loathsome acted like beasts in ways that endangered society. This blurring of the human-animal divide was therefore taxonomic, a move to naturalize human difference, elevate some members of society while excluding others from the community, and police the unruly and transgressive body. The discourse of species allowed Anglo-Saxon thinkers to depict these moves as inscribed into the workings of the natural world, ordained by the perfect design of God rather than a product of human artifice and thus fallible. “Identifying with the Beast” is informed by posthumanist theories of identity, which reject traditional notions of a unified, autonomous self and instead view subjectivity as fluid and creative, produced in the interaction of humans, animals, objects, and the environment.

  • The Development of Mongol Identity in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries Witness
    ■ Source: Itinerario 24:2 (2000), pp. 44–61. THE DEVELOPMENT OF MONGOL IDENTITY IN THE SEVENTEENTH AND EIGHTEENTH CENTURIES The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries witnessed the development of a Mongol identity. The Mongol conquests in the thirteenth century had laid the foundations but had not truly forged such an identity. These earlier events provided, in modern parlance, the cultural memory that eventu- ally served to unify them. However, the Mongol Empire actually revealed the fractiousness of the Mongols and their inability to promote the unity that might gradually have fostered a Mongol identity. As Joseph Fletcher argued, the creation of a supra-tribal identity for nomadic herders has proven to be extremely difficult.1 The so-called Mongol Empire attested to this predicament, as within two generations it evolved into four separate Khanates, which occasionally waged war against each other. For example, individual Khanates frequently sided with non-Mongols against fellow Mongols. In addition, the military, the quintessential Mongol institution, was not, as the Empire expanded, composed simply of Mongols. Turks, Persians, and even Chinese served in and sometimes led the Mongol armies, contributing to the blurring of Mongol identity. The glorious successes of the Mongol Empire offered later Mongols solace and the model of a great historical legacy. During the Ming era, different leaders, Esen in the fifteenth century and the Dayan Khan in the sixteenth century, sought to unify the Mongols, but both failed to elicit suf- ficient support.2 In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, faced with threats to their lands and to their very existence, the Mongols repeatedly sought to identify with heroes of the past, an effort that was significant in inspiring bonds of identity.
