HLA-A68

This is also reflected by low levels along the West Pacific Rim including Japan.

The hiatus of *6801 breaks in Northern Japan with the 3% frequency found in the Ainu, which continues to increase with Arctic peoples and falls of in Native Americans.

[7] A note on purity, the notion that A*6802 is of indigeonous Native American origin can be challenged based on possibility of introgression from Europeans and Africans.

The Asian model of migration shows no single people NE of Pakistan that has A*6802.

It also provides support for 2 waves of migration from Asia to the New World or, at minimum, an unknown mixing area of West Pacific Rim haplotypes and West African/Middle Eastern derived haplotypes in Eastern Asia before the first migration.

At present the incursion of Western Eurasian peoples into East Asia follows evidence for reuse of transbaikal region after 18,300 years and correlates with the incipient Jōmon period of Japan several thousands of years later.

The genetic distance between Native Americans and Eurasians is too great for the persistence of shared haplotypes, particularly in light of the lower levels in most of Siberia.

The link of haplotypes with Western Africa may be significant, and may indicate a rapid eastward migration and admixing within the late paleolithic period.
