E-M4901
E-M4901 is a branch of the FamilyTreeDNA Y tree with 3,203 kits that gave a country, counting all sub-branches. Almost all of its kits sit in a single sub-branch, E-M4895, so this branch gets no conclusions of its own. It is most common in these samples: Ghana (59% of kits), Jamaica (41% of kits), Kenya (35% of kits). The branch's common ancestor lived about 16k years ago: the FTDNA Discover estimate runs from 14k to 18k years ago.

Sub-branches #
Sub-branches that have their own page (50 kits or more). The bar is the kits in the sub-branch with its own sub-branches; the age is when its common ancestor lived.
1 small sub-branch more without a page: 46 kits. On the branch itself, without a resolved sub-branch: 33 kits.
Surnames #
Surnames that testers entered at FTDNA, over the whole branch with its sub-branches: 125 distinct among 461 kits. FTDNA gives surnames per branch only, with no country attached, so they cannot be split by country.

The same branch on YFull #
YFull builds its tree from the same SNPs; the node is matched by name or by a shared SNP. TMRCA is when the common ancestor of all samples lived, formed is when the branch split from its parent. Intervals are 95%.
E-Y1705: 1,119 samples. YFull publishes no age for this branch.
