South Africa: summary

FamilyTreeDNA holds for South Africa: 230 kits with a Y-DNA result and 261 kits with mtDNA. On the paternal line the most common are E-M2 (E1b1a) — 10%, R1b-L151 — 6% and E-M191* — 4%. On the maternal line the most common are L0d — 20%, L0a — 7% and L2a — 6%.

Detailed pages for each line are linked below the summaries.

Paternal line · Y-DNA

n=230 · 24 branches shown
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).

Y-DNA · on leaves
share of kits that reached the finest branch of the tree. The rest stopped at a broad branch: their test was not detailed enough.

Big Y
rough share of kits with a Big Y test, a full read of the Y chromosome. It is estimated from the branches where the region's kits sit, so it is an estimate, not a count.

mt to Y
maternal-line tests per one paternal-line test. Below 0.3 means the country tests almost only the male line.

Paternal and maternal neighbours differ. Of the five most similar countries by the paternal and by the maternal line, 1 coincide. The male and female lines have different histories here, or a diaspora is showing.
