History and description of Haplogroup Q (Y-chromosomal DNA) and its subclades. Haplogroup Q is a North and Central Asian lineage linked to the Huns, Mongols and Turkic people. It is also a minor Scandinavian and Jewish lineage.

The Huns were Central Asian equestrian peoples who lived as nomads, later as semi-nomads.
