Yes, may be I should have not mentioned it. But there is so much going on between the relationship of tamil with other agglutinative languages. One recent theory I have read is it must have spread along the sea route.There are Japanese and Korean scholars who think those languages have a tamil...

Halfalp, Geno 2.0 list my paternal lineage as follows - P305 > M42 > M168 > P143 > M89 > M578 > P128 > M526 > M45 > M207 > P231 > M343 > M269 > P310 > P312 > U152 > L2 > L20 But they summarize it as R-L144. Per the haplogroup tree it is - R1b1a2a1a1b3c1

I am R1b from Southern India. Not sure , this is pre-historic or just contribution from the British/French in the last two centuries. But our language tamil is agglutinative (non indo-european) and people talk about Basque and Hungarian/Finnic in this context. Asko Parpola is a major Finn Tamil...

Geno 2.0 list my paternal lineage as follows - P305 > M42 > M168 > P143 > M89 > M578 > P128 > M526 > M45 > M207 > P231 > M343 > M269 > P310 > P312 > U152 > L2 > L20 But the summarize it as R-L144. Where does this L144 come from or what is it ? Thx for the explanation

I recently took the NG Geno 2.0 test. It classified me as a 98% "southern indian" (which is correct). But my parental lineage is listed as R-L144. With U152->L2->L20. Almost all people with this are in Europe. How come somebody like me from South of India end up with this haplogroup ?
