context_page_description: Haplogroup O-M176 or O1b2 is a human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup. It is best known for its part in the settlement of Korea and Japan. It is a descendant of Haplogroup O-P31, and it has been estimated to share a most recent common ancestor with its nearest outgroup, Haplogroup O-K18, approximately 28,000 [95% CI 25,800 <-> 30,300] years before present.
context_section_description: The O-L682 subclade of O-K4 is believed to be related to Native Korean population. One study has found O-L682 Y-DNA in 19% (134/706) of Koreans sampled in Seoul and Daejeon. O-L682 also has been found in Japanese in Tokyo, Okayama, Kōchi, and the US, Chinese in Shanxi, Shandong, and Beijing, and Nanai people in China. Its descendants appear to have begun rapidly increasing in number at approximately the same time as those of its distant cousin O-47z, perhaps 4,000 years ago.
