Argentina: haplogroups

FamilyTreeDNA has 130 kits with a Y-DNA result and 100 kits with mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA). On the paternal line the most common are R1b-P312 — 38%, R1b-U106 — 5% and J2a-M67 — 5%. On the maternal line the most common are C1b — 19%, A2 — 16% and B2 — 16%.

FTDNA Discover holds about 28 more samples here that are not in the public tree, mostly from academic studies (estimate from the copy of 13 November 2026); this page is built from the public FTDNA tree.

Mitotree, the mt tree of FTDNA Discover, has about 219 more samples from here that the public mt tree lacks: mostly academic studies, GenBank among them (copy of 11 November 2026). This page is built from the public FTDNA tree.

Paternal line · Y-DNA

130 kits · 20 branches
Main branches of the Y tree. Each branch counts every kit in it and in its sub-branches; sub-branches are indented. Age is how many years ago the branch's common ancestor lived (TMRCA).

Migration paths of the characteristic branches #

Paths of the region's main characteristic branches, as modelled by FamilyTreeDNA Discover, on one calendar clock: in each year a branch stands where its ancestral line was. Grey is a stretch of path shared by several branches; the large marker is the branch itself. Above the map you can pick the paternal line (Y-DNA) or the maternal one (mtDNA).

The time scale is logarithmic: the closer to the present, the longer a year takes.

YFull

The same country on YFull #

The same country at the second company, YFull. Its samples are placed on the FTDNA tree by shared mutations, so the branches are comparable. FTDNA share on the left, YFull on the right, then the difference in percentage points. Republics and other sub-regions are taken out of the country, as at FTDNA. Starred branches are nearly empty at YFull: every test there is whole-genome and reaches the fine branches. Only YFull customers (YF number) are counted, no ancient DNA. YFull data of 2026-11-02.

YFull has fewer than 30 samples from this country, too few to compare. 19 samples on YFull
