@southernhungarian: The remaining East/Central Eurasian paternal legacy among Hungarian speakers consists almost entirely of specific subclades within the following haplogroups: N1a-Z1936 / N1a-L1034, this is the classic signature of Uralic speaking peoples. While it made up over one third of the conqueror elite's Y-DNA, it appears in only about 1-6% of modern Hungarian males. Q-M25 / Q-M242 is associated with ancient Huns, this lineage is extremely rare in Europe, but persists in about 1-4% or less of ethnic Hungarians. R1a-Z93 is found in higher proportions in Central Asia, this is the most common Eurasian marker in the Hungarian gene pool, appearing in a subset of the roughly 26% of the population. There are approximately 15 million ethnic Hungarians globally. Even though 95% of their paternal lines are of European origin R1b, and I2 applying a modest 2-5% frequency reveals that up to three quarters of a million men or more with Hungarian heritage still carry these distinct steppe and Eurasian markers. #🇭🇺 #magyar #hungary #magyarorszag #fyp
