Summary/Abstract: The article presents the main results of the 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 supports the East-Eurasian hypothesis. So, we come to conclusion that the spread of R haplogroup from Eastern Eurasia into the western parts of the continent, which occurred in the end of Late Pleistocene – Early Holocene, was closely related to Sino-Caucasian peoples.
