YFull

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%.

I-Z59: 1,601 samples. The common ancestor lived 4,300 years ago (3,700–5,000); the branch split off 4,500 years ago (4,100–5,000).
