See J2 (J-M172) main subclades tree with time estimates based on YFull YTree with priority of interest in the Near East (Caspian-Zagros-Caucasus):

  1. Temperature and sea level rise after the last Ice Age (from ca. 16000 BC) to the end of Epipalaeolithic – main subclades already formed in this time
  2. The Neolithic (Begin ca. 10500 BC) with agriculture/farming and animal domestication to the development of metallurgy – substantial diversification and expansion to South Asia and Balkan/Hungary
  3. Copper Age (ca. 4500 BC) to the End of Bronze Age – complex diversification and probably first substantial expansion to Europe
  4. Iron Age (1000 BC) to late Antiquity (500 CE)
