Summary/Abstract: More than eight years ago A. A. Romanchuk, basing on the analysis of archaeological, paleobotanical and linguistic data, suggested the localization of the Dene-Sino-Caucasian Motherland in Eastern Eurasia. The “East-Eurasian hypothesis” of Dene-Sino-Caucasian Motherland had found new confirmations from the analysis of physical anthropology’s data: odontological and craniological ones.The previous results suggest the localization of Dene-Caucasian Motherland in the area of so-called “Chinese-Siberian Late Upper Paleolithic”.This article presents main results of verification of East-Eurasian hypothesis of Dene-Caucasian Motherland through the light of genogeographical data — investigations of haplogroups of Y-chromosome, first of all. The genogeographical data support the East-Eurasian hypothesis. So, we come to conclusion that the spread of R haplogroup from Eastern Eurasia into the western parts of continent, which occurred in the end of Late Pleistocene — Early Holocene, was closely related with Sino-Caucasian peoples.
