Does anyone have any information about Haplogroup Q (Q1b)?

[Anglojew]

I am not that knowledgeable about haplogroup Q but M378 (to which L245 belongs) is often associated with turkic migrations.

Yes but according to the map the Haplogroup literally is absent the Mongoloid areas of Asia.

I wonder if Turks were a combination of this and more Mongolian genetic input?

Lol, Uralic isn't a race on it it's own, The Komi, and Udmurts are the Uralic people with the most Mongoloid admixture, and even then it's only 20%, and probably recent. Most other Uralics in Europe have less than 10% Mongoloid DNA, so Q should be considered Caucasoid.

Seriously? Kets are almost 100% Q, do they look causcasoid to you in any way?

I have always said that that first Turks were uralic with caucasian and mongoloid admix.

Kets aren't Uralic. It doesn't matter if they have haplogroup Q, it didn't originate with Mongoloids.
Siberians do have Caucasoid DNA by the way.

They were mixed with Caucasian, and Mongoloid, but they weren't Uralic.

Hg Q probably reached Scandinavia through prehistoric mixing (during the paleolithic). We're talking about very old geneflow that could be seen in the 'globe4' calculator where Scandos in general scored like 8-10% amerindian.

Has been many theories like it would have reached Scandinavia through hunnic warriors and such

They are considered Siberian people

Apparently Q is an offshoot of P

So it's a Caucasoid Haplogroup ( or proto-Caucasoid I guess?).

Can anyone provide input about Yemenite jews then?? I don't remember where i read this but i am sure i've read before that a small % of yemenite jews carry hg Q?

Found it,
Q-M323 (M323) — It has been detected in Yemenite Jews.[40]

I believe mongoloids and caucasoid diverge around that time.
