Project Background
Y haplogroup A is one of the two main branches emanating from the root of the human Y chromosome tree.
Defined by the presence of the Y-SNPs M91 and P97, haplogroup A is one of the most genetically diverse human Y clades. It is found most often in African men, especially Khoisan and Bantu speakers.
The Y Haplogroup A project is set up to assist project members in forming a more complete understanding of their ancestry, and to assist researchers towards the same aim.
Anyone who has be confirmed or predicted by FTDNA to be in haplogroup A is encouraged to join. By combining our research and knowledge, we can achieve much.
