addendum:

more on Keryads and Kalmyk ethnogenesis:

According to what Bakaeva summed up, most people believe that the Keryad were the original "core group" of the Torguud Kalmyks. So their ancestors are assumed to have attracted those of the Tsaatan, Bagut and Erketen.

By contrast, the Derbet Kalmyks seem to consist of a larger number of "core groups", including a "Chonos" (meaning "wolf"?) sub-group of the Zyun (Dzungar?) group. The others are Khashkhaner, Bukhus and others (not named by Bakaeva) within the Zyun group, Abganer, Burul, Shabiner and Tugtun.

And the Khoshuud Kalmyks are possibly only represented by the Lekbei group besides the Khoshuud-Donduk group judging from the paper.

That said, it's noteworthy that Malyarchuk et al. 2013 identified only a few Kalmyks whose hts resemble those of the (Kazak) Kerey star cluster (about 3% in Derbets and Torguuds respectively). So most, if not all, of the historical Torguud Keryads might have had a patrlineal identity different from that of the Kazak Kereys. Since Malyarchuk et al. detected the M77+ mutation in most of their Torguud, Derbet and Khoshuud samples, the (numerical) core groups of all of them might have been closely related to each other rather than coincidental allies. So one question might be on what kind of occasion they could have split. Can any historical event be associated with the emergence of one or the other group or sub-group mentioned above? Or is it possible to hypothetically reconstruct such an event at least? Khoyd 2008 mentions Torguuds and Khoshuuds in Mongolia. Perhaps studies on their y-chromosomes might

old post:

Thanks and welcome back, sanj.




As far as I understood (excuse my bad skills translating and contextualising if I'm wrong):

p. 5: possible translations for "administrative and ethnic" titles(?):
- chonos: "wolf"
- kereit: "raven"
- bukhus: "bull"

We meanwhile know that the major y-chromosomal lineages in Kalmyks and Khalkhs are phylogenetically close to those of Amerindians. But it seems as if the Buryats and Khamingans are relatively close to the Chinese.

Within y hg C it will more or less look like this:
F1699+, P39+: Amerindians only
F1699+, M48+, M77+/M86+: many Kalmyks in particular (Malyarchuk et al. 2010)
F1699+, M48+, M401+: probably many Khalkhs in particular (Di Cristofaro et al. 2013)
Z1300+, M407-: mostly Han??? (Magoon et al. 2013)
Z1300+, M407+: many Buryats and Khamnigans in particular (Malyarchuk et al. 2010)

So y hg distributions could be in accordance with patrilineal transmissions of myths concerning "raven" and "wolf" like in North Asian and Amerindian traditions. And M407+ could be associated with a mythology from outside of North Asia if I'm not mistaken.
