James et al.:
The Saami are an unlikely source for the Q haplotypes seen in the Northern Isles. Studies such as that of Zerjal et al. (2001) found that N3 (common among Finnish people) predominated, followed by haplogroups I, R1a, and 6% R1b. Q has not been observed in this group - thus despite their apparent Asiatic phenotype, there is no evidence that their Y-DNA is any different from their closest neighbours in Eastern Europe and Western Asia.

All,
Could the incidence of Haplogroup Q in Norway have its origin among the
Saami? The Saami are of Siberian Asiatic origin. They exhibit other
Asiatic haplogroups - Haplogroup N3, for example - so why not this one, too?
