Haplogroup

For fifteen years Anthropologists have used SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) tests to place people on the Philogenetic tree of Homo sapiens sapiens. The addition of STR testing (Short Tandem Repeats) has enabled molecular biologists to add higher resolution to the tips of the tree. The results below compare your Family Tree DNA Y-DNA STR test with the extensive world-wide database of Dr. Hammer. The Haplogroups shown were confirmed by SNP tests at Dr. Hammer's lab. The naming convention we use for Haplogroups is based on a paper which was introduced in February of 2002 by the YCC Consortium.

While Haplogroups are a classification tied to deep ancestry (think 10,000 or 10's of 1000's of years), the countries in this database are the countries of the individuals that were tested. The purpose of the country information is to tell researches about migratory patterns, and should not be used to determine countries of origin as in the REO database. The REO information was provided by people who have been tested by Family Tree DNA or from Dr. Hammers world wide database, and shows their ancestor's country of origin.

Haplogroup Test: the matches suggest that the tested kits belong to Haplogroup R1b. Additional testing would be needed to confirm whether they are R1b or not. If not, then further tests would be needed to determine the haplogroup.

Haplogroup Descriptions
O2 Haplogroup O2 has two primary lines, the 465 line and the M95 line. Both lines are found in Asia. The 465 line is at high frequency in Japanese and Korean populations and at low frequency in east Asia. The M95 line is found in Southeast Asian populations (Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, and southern China)

R1 The undifferentiated R1 lineage is quite rare. It is found only at very low frequencies in Europe, Central Asia, and South Asia. This lineage possibly originated in Europe and then migrated east into Asia.

R1a The R1a lineage is believed to have originated in the Eurasian Steppes north of the Black and Caspian Seas. This lineage is believed to have originated in a population of the Korgan culture, known for the domestication of the horse (approximately 3000 B.C.E.). These people were also believed to be the first speakers of the Indo-European language group. This lineage is currently found in central and western Asia, India, and in Slavic populations of Eastern Europe.

R1b Haplogroup R1b is the most common haplogroup in European populations. It is believed to have expanded throughout Europe as humans re-colonized after the last glacial maximum 10-12 thousand years ago. This lineage is also the haplogroup containing the Atlantic modal haplotype.
