13 small sub-branches more without a page: 163 kits. On the branch itself, without a resolved sub-branch: 163 kits.
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%.
K1a: 2,795 samples. The common foremother lived 7,100 years ago (6,800–7,400); the branch split off 8,600 years ago (7,200–11k).
