Branches your report can place you on
Your paternal and maternal lines
Paternal line
A00, beside the paternal root
The oldest known Y branch was found in the male line of Albert Perry, an African American man; its first age estimate of 338,000 years is disputed. [1][2]
G2a, beside F
Ötzi the Iceman carried Y haplogroup G2a-L91 and mitochondrial K1f, a maternal line not found in anyone living today. [3][4]
R1b
In Britain, over 90% of men from the Beaker period onward carried R1b, a lineage absent from Neolithic Britain; about 90% of the island’s ancestry was replaced. [5]
R1b-P312
The reference genome’s own Y chromosome — the one every lab compares against — sits on this branch.
R1b-U152, under P312
Richard III’s remains carry Y haplogroup G2, but four of five living male-line relatives are R1b-U152 — a break in the paternal line somewhere in between. [6]
E-M2
The dominant paternal lineage of West Africa, carried across the continent by the Bantu expansion. [7]
