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%.

U5b2c: 148 samples. The common foremother lived 6,800 years ago (4,700–9,600); the branch split off 12k years ago (8,800–15k).
