About us
Results have been identified within separate haplogroups. These are:
E1b1b = MEDITERRANEAN: With origins in East Africa or the Middle East, E1b1b1 has spread among North and East African populations, the Middle East, and into Europe from the Mediterranean.
G, G2a = The first branch of F, G traveled from the Middle East into both Europe and South Asia. The European lineages spread along the Mediterranean and eventually inland across Europe.
I1, I2b = SCANDINAVIA: I1 and I2b originated in Northern France as they trekked northward to Scandinavia after the last ice age. Some spread to Western Europe from Scandinavia through populations like the Vikings.
I2a = SOUTHERN EUROPE: At the end of the ice age, members of the I2a branch spread north into eastern Europe and west along the Mediterrean. One of the I2a branches may have been the first to settle Sardinia.
J2, J2a = MEDITERRANEAN: Some J1 and many J2 lineages spread into Europe and the Indian subcontinent with agriculture and the Bronze Age.
N = EAST ASIA: Members of Haplogroups N and O branched from Asian K lineages and spread throughout East Asia. N also continued its journey north into Russia and Siberia.
R1 = CENTRAL ASIA: In turn, R1 split into its branches R1a and R1b in Central Asia. R1a, R1b and the few remaining R1 lineages migrated west and settled in Europe.
R1a = EASTERN EUROPE: While R1a can be found throughout Europe, it is most fequent in Eastern Europe and Scandinavia. R1a is the most frequent haplogroup among Eastern Europeans.
R1b = WESTERN EUROPE: R1b journeyed into Europe from Central Asia, then spread and multiplied until its lineages can be found throughout Europe and until it became the most frequent haplogroup in Western Europe.
R2 = SOUTH ASIA: R2 split from R and journeyed south into the Indian subcontinent. R2 lineages can also be found in nearby countries and a few over time have migrated into the Middle East.
T = After T branched from haplogroup K, most of its lineages traveled east into Asia and into the Pacific Islands. However, some lineages journeyed into the Middle East and ultimately reached Europe.
