Two separate groups of the same name, Huns and Xiongnu troubled Europe and China during 450 CE and 400 BCE respectively, creating the Hunnic empire and the Xiongnu empire. Today, the common presence of Q-L330 in west Altai and west Alps gives us the opportunity to unify these early Hunnic raiders.
Q-L330 was found with a percentage of 25% in Altaians and 38% in Tuvans in the western part of the Mongolian mountain chain, while it is a unique y-dna lineage found with 84% among the Kets, a neighbouring Yeniseian-speaking population.

The Xiongnu had created a vast empire during 200 BCE comprising modern Mongolia, Xinjiang and the Altai mountains, having a complex system of hierarchy with many dynasties and a lot of manpower and subjects, including the Q-M25 iron-mining Turks of Altai who at that time provided weapons for the Xiongnu army.
Seven thousand miles westernwards in the slopes of the Alps, Q-L330 is found about 5% close in the area where Attila drove European Huns in the battle of the Catalaunian plains. The Huns in Europe had a created a vast empire with control center in Hungary, collecting subjects from Ukraine and taxes from Rome, making many raids in western Germany that caused the Germanic migrations.
A third group were the White Huns or Epthalites who created a nomadic empire in Central Asia at 450 as well. These might have cut off earlier before the invasion of the main group of Huns in Europe. Their state was dissolved by an alliance of Turks and Persians.

Q-L330 in Mongolia was probably reduced a lot with the defeat of the Xiongnu by the C Xianbei Turks and proto-Mongols, who ruled Mongolia afterwards.
It seems to have been further restricted by the expansion of y-dna N reindeer herders in Siberia leading to the isolation of Kets and neighbouring Yeniseian-speaking communities in the basin of the Yeniseian river.
A lot of Q-L330 has been absorbed within the Altaic Turkic-speaking communities in western Mongolia, where it is actually the common type of Q.

Modern Mongolians also retain the memory of being the descendants of Huns. Hün gürnii suu ih hüch doroitoj, eh nutgaa sangalzan iinhüü guniglan duulav.

It is also very interesting to notice that all native American mtdna lineages X, A, B, C, D were found in samples from the Xiongnu period in Mongolia, along other various types of Q*, rendering Huns of that era a miniature of the native American genome.

Q-L330 has a lot of first-step mutations, indicative of its origin being also in the broader Mongolian region.
Q-L330 has two main subclades, Q-L332 and Q-B287.
The first, Q-L332 is found in Hungary, Uzbeks, Kazakhs, making it possibly the haplogroup of European Huns and White Huns in Central Asia.
The second, Q-B287 is the type of Q-L330 usually found in Yeniseian people, making the most probable haplogroup of the Xiongnu as well.

The Szekelys, a Hungarian-speaking group of Transylvania, also claim to be the desendants of Huns. Most though belong to Q-L715, the Oghuric branch of Q-M25, making the majority probably of Turkic origin, rather than Hunnic. There is also Q-L332 but it is lower.
The name Hungary also is derived from Onogurs, a Turkic-speaking tribe of the Oghur branch.

There was also an attempt to connect Yeniseian languages with Na-Dene languages, but I consider it will be fruitless from a genetic point of view, at least patrilineally. I think Turkic to Inuit or Na-Dene would yield better results, if at all. Nevertheless, the ancestral types of the Ket group seem to have been y-dna Q and mtdna A, with other types being more recent.

Q-L332 among Hungarians roots to Jasz region, which indicates the need for the research more on Jasz community and the people they migrated with. On the other hand, Q-M25 being a clear Turkic marker is present in Bukovina and Transylvania with a TMRCA 1700 ybp. Makes stakes rise to be of Hunnic origin rather than Cuman. This is something expected from my perspective because formerly Yeniseian speakers probably already absorbed among Turks before the migration to the West which caused such amount of mass migration. Confederate form of nation replaced with Turkic domination and opened the way of formation of Turkic Khanate.



Evaluation of two different Hungarian project merged:

For L330, I recently prepared a PCA with all known(open to public) samples to see who is close to what.

, the common presence of Q-L330 in west Altai and west Alps gives us the opportunity to unify these early Hunnic raiders.

May I ask the source for the Alpine part?


The first, Q-L332 is found in Hungary, Uzbeks, Kazakhs, making it possibly the haplogroup of European Huns and White Huns in Central Asia.


May I ask the source for presence among Uzbek and Kazakh?

I did not know these two, so it would be interesting to read the articles.

Sure, for Q-L330 it lists so in ISOGG Q (https://isogg.org/tree/ISOGG_HapgrpQ.html) for both France and Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, with some of the sources also. It is actually 2.1% for Switzerland and 5.1% in Lyon France. For the Alpine part also there is Dispersals of the Siberian Y-chromosome haplogroup Q in Eurasia (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5846874/) that listed Q-F1161 as the main type of Q there, which is outside even Q-L53, or Q-L804 which is inside Q-L53, but those last two are like native European. And there are commercial samples with Q-L275 from Switzerland so it may be pretty mixed.

In order to understand the relative position of Q-L330 within Q, I will add here a general part of the Q tree from ISOGG:
Q1b1a1-M930>M3,L804
Q1b1a2-Z780
Q1b1a3-Q-L330

So the first one is Q-M930 which includes Q-M3 and L804 which are the Native American and Scandinavian lineages respectively. The second one is Q-Z780 which is also a Native American lineage but is also found in Siberia. And the third one is Q-L330 which is found mostly in Altai in Mongolia, central Siberia in Russia and smaller numbers in Central Asia and Europe.

For Q-L330 specifically, I should mention:

Siberian linguistic groups
102121

Frequencies for Yeniseian and Turkic-speaking altaic groups

Kets 94% Q-L330>B287
Selkups 66% Q-L330>B287, Uralic-speaking so probably assimilated Yeniseians

Chelkans 60% Q-M346 no tested subclade but probably Q-L330
Todjins 38.5% Q-M346
Tuvans 38% Q-M346
Tubalars 37% Q-M346
Soyots 7% Q-M346
Khakass 6% Q-M346
Chulyms 65% Q-M25 but of recent Tatar origin
Tofalars 43% N2, 27% N3a
Khakass 34% N2
Tuvans 24% N2

Prevalence of mtdna C in all Altaic groups except Mongolic group Soyots and Mongolian-influenced Tuvans where mtdna D is more frequent.
In Shors and Khakas ydna N and mtdna F are more common.

R1a also very common in all altaic groups, subclade Z93.
North Altaians 24% R1a
South Altaians 53% R1a

In Mongolians also, Q-L330 1-3% while Q-M25 0.5%.
