Dating the time to the most recent common ancestor of the Sakha (Yakuts) with Y chromosomal haplogroup N3A2-M1982: new ethnogenetic reconstructions

Abstract
Time to the most recent common ancestor (TMRCA) of Sakha men with haplogroup N3a2-M1982 of the Y chromosome was evaluated by 23 STR markers using the mutation rate constant of Y-STR loci that we had previously calculated. The obtained TMRCA values indicate a period of ~1300-1400 years ago (VI-VII centuries AD), associated with the primary expansion of the population. Based on genetic data and analysis of texts from ancient Chinese chronicles, a hypothesis has been put forward about the connection of the ancestral Sakha population with the Yuzhe people, who supplied mammoth ivory to China
