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%.

J-L25: 1,172 samples. The common ancestor lived 8,800 years ago (8,100–9,600); the branch split off 10k years ago (8,900–12k).
