Haplogroup IJK is a human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup. IJK is a primary branch of the macrohaplogroup HIJK. Its direct descendants are Haplogroup IJ and Haplogroup K.

Distribution and structure

The basal paragroup HIJK* has not been identified in living males or ancient remains.

Populations with high proportions of males who belong to descendant major haplogroups of Haplogroup HIJK live across widely dispersed areas and populations. Subclades of IJK are now concentrated in males native to:

  • Europe (e. g. haplogroups I, J, R and N);
  • the Middle East and North East Africa (e. g. haplogroups J and T);
  • South Asia (e.g. haplogroups J, L and R);
  • South East Asia and the Pacific (e. g. haplogroups K, M, O, P, S)
  • Northern Eurasia, e. g. haplogroups N and Q) and;
  • Native American peoples (e. g. haplogroup Q and R).
