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%.
K1a1b: 462 samples. The common foremother lived 5,000 years ago (3,800–6,500); the branch split off 5,900 years ago (4,900–7,000).
