Afghan Pashtuns, Sepharadic Jews, Ashkenazi Jews, Mizrahi Jews, Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians South West Syria, Haplogroup G2b-M377 is a Y-chromosome haplogroup and is defined by the presence of the M377 mutation.

What is the most common haplogroup in Europe?
Genetics of modern European populations
- Haplogroup R1b is common in Europe, particularly in Western Europe, with the R1b1a1a2 being the most common among Western Europeans.
- Haplogroup R1a, almost entirely in the R1a1a sub-clade, is prevalent in much of Eastern and Central Europe (also in South and Central Asia).
What is the percentage of Pashtuns with Y DNA?
The haplogroup R1a (Y-DNA) is found at a frequency of 51.02\% among the Pashtun people. Paragroup Q-M242 (xMEH2, xM378) (of Haplogroup Q-M242 (Y-DNA)) was found at 16.3\% in Pashtuns. Haplogroup Q-M242 is also found at a frequency of 18\% in Pashtuns in the Afghan capital of Kabul. According to a 2012 study:
Which haplogroup has the highest frequency outside Asia?
The O3 haplogroup has the highest frequency, being absent outside East Asia. The O1 and O2 haplogroups appear in Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, South China, Japan, and Korea [66,76,77]. The P clade is the parent of haplogroups Q and R, and is rarely found. It has been detected at low frequencies in the Caucasus and India [52,70].

Where is Haplogroup C found in the world?
Haplogroup C is found in ancient populations on every continent except Africa and is the predominant Y-DNA haplogroup among males belonging to many peoples indigenous to East Asia, Central Asia, Siberia, North America and Oceania. The haplogroup is also found at moderate frequencies among certain indigenous populations of Southeast Asia.
