Y24312

Overview

N-Y24312 is a downstream branch of F3361 within the P43 lineage and plays an important role in the genetic history of the Volga–Ural Uralic populations. Emerging in the Iron Age, Y24312 likely belonged to expanding forest–steppe communities blending influences from Uralic, proto-Turkic and Siberian cultures. Its present-day distribution highlights ancient connections between Volga Finnic and western Siberian groups.

Geographic distribution

Y24312 is most common among Udmurt, Komi-Permyak and some Uralic-speaking minor groups east of the Volga. It also appears among northern Russians, Bashkirs and Tatar groups due to historical admixture.

Ancient DNA

Upstream P43 occurs in Bronze Age and Iron Age individuals in the Volga–Ural region.
Y24312’s age matches the intensification of cultural networks across the Ural foothills.
Its distribution aligns with early Volga Finnic ethnogenesis.

Phylogeny & subclades

Y24312 is a sibling branch to B528 under F3361, giving structure to mid-level P43 diversity. Downstream microbranches reflect regional subdivision in the Volga–Ural cultural zone.
