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%.

L2a1a: 327 samples. The common foremother lived 5,000 years ago (4,900–5,200); the branch split off 16k years ago (15k–18k).
