Partial revision of the Y-chromosome phylogeny presented by Underhill et al. (2000), indicating the placement of M242 relative to other Y-chromosome polymorphisms in haplogroups IX and X, arising in central Asia and the Americas. As can be seen, M242 arises during a crucial gap between M45/M74—which both arose in Asia—and M3, which first arose in the Americas.
