FamilyTreeDNA holds for Kenya: 97 kits with a Y-DNA result. On the paternal line the most common are E-M2 (E1b1a) — 34%, E-M191* — 25% and E1b1b-M35 — 12%.
Macro-haplogroups #
The first letter of the haplogroup, the broadest division of the Y tree. Percentages of all the region's kits.
Major branches (clades) #
The major branches the region's kits belong to. Each kit is counted once, in the finest major branch its test reached. Asterisk: kits left on the branch itself because they fall into none of its major sub-branches. A branch counts as major when it holds at least 0.4% of all kits worldwide.
Key branches tree #
Tree of the main branches. Each branch counts every kit in it and in its sub-branches; sub-branches are indented. Branches of at least 1% of the sample are shown; pass-through branches with no side branches are skipped. Age is how many years ago the branch's common ancestor lived (TMRCA), from FTDNA Discover.
YFull has fewer than 30 samples from this country, too few to compare. 12 samples on YFull
Distinctive branches #
Branches found here far more often than worldwide: their share is more than 3× the world share. The multiplier is in brackets. Branches of at least 10 kits are included.
