Materials and methods. The gene pool of two eastern Evenk groups, Transbaikalian and Amur ones, has been studied using detailed panel including 60 Y-chromosomal SNP markers. The frequencies of haplogroups identified have been analyzed by multidimensional statistics and genegeography methods. The venous blood was sampled in the course of expeditions in 2010-2015 from unrelated males. No less than three generations of male ancestors identified themselves as belonging to the given Evenk population and were born in the studied region. The sampling was performed with the voluntary written informed consent. Results. In spite of considerable geographic distance between the ranges of Transbaikalian and Amur Evenks there is a pronounced similarity in their Y-chromosomal gene pools: haplogroups C2-M48(xSK1066), N-M2118 and R1a-M198 account for more than 2/3 of their gene pools. In the Siberian multidimensional genetic space, Transbaikalian and Amur Evenks, together, with the Evenks of Okhotsk coast and Kamchatka, formed the Amur region cluster, considerably removed from Buryats, Mongols, Yakuts and South Siberian groups – Tuvans, Altaians and Khakass. Maps of genetic distances from both the Transbaikalian and Amur Evenks display their close relation to Amur region and Kamchatka gene pools, and a noticeable remoteness from gene pools of Siberia, East and Central Asia. When the data from literature are included into consideration, the differences become clear between West and East Evenk gene pools, which may be attributed to their geographic position in different regions of Siberia: the West Evenks are closer to Yakuts and partly to South Siberian peoples, and the Eastern Evenks – to populations of the Far East. Conclusion. No genetic traces of assimilation of Evenk tribes by Buryats, nor Buryat tribe inclusion into Evenks have been found. The results obtained give grounds for the hypothesis about “East Tungusic” genetic component being preserved in Transbaikalian and Amur Evenks. The component occurs mostly between Baikal Lake and Okhotsk coast and is included to the Far East gene pool system either as a part of a wider “Amur region” constituent, or along with the latter.
