Hey all,
Recently someone has contacted me about their 23andme results. They were surprised to have received the C-F1699 paternal haplogroup, as to their knowledge their entire ancestry comes from Sri Lanka (specifically they are from the Sinhalese ethnic group). This is definitely unusual since C-F1699 is characteristic of Mongolian and other Northeastern Asian populations.
I do recall someone from Bangladesh mentioned getting this haplogroup as well on the old Anthrogenica thread. Does anyone have any knowledge on how this haplogroup could have arrived in Sri Lanka?
