Such as the Plague, CoVid and even AIDS.<br>And these is what suggests it may have appeared in recent times. When sedentary settlement, urbanization was underway.<br>It seems more prepared for diseases of civilization.<br>These two arguments are clues. But I still don&#8217;t have any idea of the exact details of which people carried the original mutation and how it spread. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In human genetics, Haplogroup R-DF27 is a Y-chromosome haplogroup which is a subdivision of haplogroup R-M269 defined by the presence of the marker DF27.
