at 33,042 ± 7,840 Years Before Present. However, Thangarajah, et al. (2006) dated it to 15,400 ± 6300 YBP. Rajkumar, et al. put forward the estimated coalescence time of haplogroup M30 to be 15,400 ± 6300 ybp, and that of its sub-haplogroups M30a and M30c to be 5100 ± 3600 ybp. The ages of M30b and M30d were computed to be 4177 ± 2800 years and 12,800 ± 5700 ybp respectively. This period corresponds with the late-Mesolithic in India and the Levant. Distribution M30 has a broad geographic, ethnic and linguistic range in India. It has been detected in northern and southern India, in Australoids and Caucasoids, and in Dravidian and Indo-European speakers. This supposedly lends credence to the long speculated possibility of Dravidian speakers migrating through Iran to India. This view is supported by the presence of Indian haplogroups in Iran, and the close relationship between the Dravidian and Elamite languages. M30 haplogroup has been detected in Palestinians and is supposedly due to a recent gene flow from India into that region. M30 is found in Eastern Yemeni populations, Upper Egypt and Kesra (Tunisia), while M30 individuals were found to constitute 7.5% of the total population of Hadramawt (Yemen). Apart from Saudi Arabia, M30 has also been detected in the maternal lineages of China. Peng et al. (2017) have found one individual who belongs to mtDNA haplogroup M30c1 in a sample of 28 Tajiks from Dushanbe, Tajikistan, two individuals who belong to mtDNA haplogroup M30h (bearing mutations at the 16093, 4394, 4491, and 12451 loci) in a sample of 68 Kyrgyz from Taxkorgan, Xinjiang, China, one individual who belongs to mtDNA haplogroup M30* (bearing additional mutations at the 11437 and 16274 loci) in a sample of 66 Wakhis from Taxkorgan, and one individual who belongs to mtDNA haplogroup M30 (bearing additional mutations at the 16234 and 16153 loci, possibly marking a pre-M30e branch) in a sample of 86 Sarikolis from Taxkorgan. To sum up, M30 haplogroup individuals have been found in Yemen Egypt Tunisia Palestine Saudi Arabia Iran Tajikistan India Nepal China Subclades Tree This phylogenetic tree of haplogroup subclades is based on the Van Oven 2008 tree and subsequent published research.
