T-L208
T-L208 is a branch of the FamilyTreeDNA Y tree with 2,004 kits that gave a country, counting all sub-branches. Almost all of its kits sit in a single sub-branch, T-CTS931, so this branch gets no conclusions of its own. It is most common in these samples: United Arab Emirates (18% of kits), Somalia (15% of kits), Bahrain (10% of kits). The branch's common ancestor lived about 9,200 years ago: the FTDNA Discover estimate runs from 8,000 to 11k years ago. YFull has 846 samples in this branch and dates its common ancestor to 8,300 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.
On the branch itself, without a resolved sub-branch: 52 kits.
Surnames #
Surnames that testers entered at FTDNA, over the whole branch with its sub-branches: 46 distinct among 114 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%.
T-L208: 846 samples. The common ancestor lived 8,300 years ago (7,500–9,100); the branch split off 12k years ago (11k–14k).
