Argyns are the largest tribal-clan group of Kazakhs, but their genesis remains debatable. This discussion may be reduced to two opposing points of view of their origin – Turkic or Mongolian, and to a confrontation of traditional versions of the genealogy of Kazakhs (Shezhire) with a single biological ancestor of Argyns and a version that Argyns are a union of tribes of different origin. Objective of research: to present a genetic portrait of Argyns based on Y-chromosome polymorphism and to consider different versions of Argyn genesis in terms of their gene pool. Genetic portraits of nine lineages of Argyns were created during the work (N=384) based on Y-chromosome markers (17 STR and 44 SNP); their genetic pool was analyzed in the Eurasian genetic context, various historical and ethnographic versions of Argyn origin were considered in the gene pool plane. Conclusion: the gene pool of the proto-Argyns (paternal line) is marked by haplogroup G1 of Y-chromosome and goes back to peoples of the Indo-Iranian language family. According to the genetic distances, the Argyns are close to the Iranian peoples (Assyrians, Baluchis, Iranians, Mazanderani, Kurds); and the oldest known today carrier of haplogroup G1 was found in western Iran. Versions of the origin that are based on ethnonym similarities have not been confirmed by the genetic analysis. Comprehensive study of the genealogy and the Argyns’ gene pool suggests that the Argyn’s ancestor with haplogroup G1 is the Golden Emir Karahodzha (XIV century), or his immediate ancestors. Phylogenetic dating of haplogroup G1 branches suggests that G1 was already present in the Eurasian Steppes (among Kazakh, Bashkir, and Mongol ancestors) starting from the early Iron Age. The expansion of G1 within Kazakhs’ gene pool is dated from 750 to 470 years ago. G1 marker, specific for Kazakhs and Argyns, is the L1323 marker.
