DF19 is a SNP mutation that defines one of the smaller subclades below R-P312, which is the most common Y-haplogroup in Western Europe. The DF19 subclade may represent about 6-10% of all R1b-P312. The origin of the P312 haplogroup can be situated around 2800 BC, and just like its “brother clade” U106 it was tightly linked to the Bell Beaker culture, which was at that time spreading rapidly throughout central and western Europe. The DF19 mutation most likely happened in a R1b-P312* man who had been born around 2600 BC in a Corded Ware community, most likely living in Bohemia. He was the common male ancestor of all DF19+ lineages. For more details, please see the "News" section on this website!
