T-M70
Equivalent branches, the same kits: T-L490 (3,440 kits, 21k years)
T-M70 is a branch of the FamilyTreeDNA Y tree with 3,440 kits that gave a country, counting all sub-branches. It is most common in these samples: United Arab Emirates (20% of kits), Somalia (16% of kits), Bahrain (13% of kits). The branch's common ancestor lived about 17k years ago: the FTDNA Discover estimate runs from 15k to 19k years ago. The oldest of the equivalent branches, T-L490, split off about 21k years ago by Discover. YFull has 1,244 samples in this branch and dates its common ancestor to 17k 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: 6 kits. On the branch itself, without a resolved sub-branch: 644 kits.
Surnames #
Surnames that testers entered at FTDNA, over the whole branch with its sub-branches: 116 distinct among 337 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-M70: 1,244 samples. The common ancestor lived 17k years ago (16k–18k); the branch split off 20k years ago (18k–22k).
