E-P2
Equivalent branches, the same kits: E-P177 (19,527 kits, 50k years)
E-P2 is a branch of the FamilyTreeDNA Y tree with 19,527 kits that gave a country, counting all sub-branches. It is most common in these samples: Ghana (95% of kits), Benin (93% of kits), Senegal (90% of kits). The branch's common ancestor lived about 43k years ago: the FTDNA Discover estimate runs from 37k to 48k years ago. The oldest of the equivalent branches, E-P177, split off about 50k years ago by Discover. YFull has 6,610 samples in this branch and dates its common ancestor to 52k 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: 1 kit. On the branch itself, without a resolved sub-branch: 834 kits.
Surnames #
Surnames that testers entered at FTDNA, over the whole branch with its sub-branches: 708 distinct among 3,103 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-P177: 6,610 samples. The common ancestor lived 52k years ago (48k–55k); the branch split off 52k years ago (48k–55k).
