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: A SNP test on 7367 confirms haplogroup G2. Thus 7357 and 19219, who share the same y-chromosome by descent, also belong to Haplogroup G2.
