He's over 9000 years old, the tribes we know today were probably not there yet and the would intermarry on various occasions, so... He's more an ancestor, or at least a cousin, to many of the existing tribe around where he was found.

If you have matches at Y67 or Y111, check whether they have taken BigY, maybe they have a more precise haplogroup. Also, it takes a few days to about a week to get everything functions working, matches are the last one to come, if you have any. I tested my father and a maternal uncle, in both...

Glad to be of help! I'm in two R1b groups, under my father and my maternal uncle's accounts. These group have been really helpful to me.

Have you joined the I1 project? The admins there will be more qualified to list the options available. There doesn't seem to be an activity feed there, but you can email the admins. https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/y-dna-i1/about Wait, Bernard Sécher is admin there? I wonder if he is I1...

There was a few K1a4a1 fond among Neolithic graves in Ireland sooner this year. So you can expect the spread of this haplogroup to be linked to European or Anatolian Neolithic. As for your case specifically, it could be anytime from Neolithic to very close to present, coming either from Iberic...

Family Tree DNA have 58 basal R (R-M207) in their database, they are mostly from Middle East, but some are from South Asia, Europe and Africa. Plus one from Indonesia. They also have 21 basal R1 (R-M173) and 12 basal R2 (R-479). Sure, all of them have new mutations over the basal ones, but...

I heard from a researcher in sexology that anything self reported is unreliable. Everyone will inflate their number not to look like a looser, because they already saw older studies with self inflated numbers and feel like a looser from the get go.

This is the visa she is looking for. A French friend of mine used it a few years ago. According to him, she should apply early, these go away fast as there is a limited number of them. https://pvtistes.net/en/dossiers/guide-to-the-canadian-working-holiday-visa-program/

There are 6 other BY27831* in the FTDNA database, definitely a rare subclade, but there are a few of you around. The reported countries are United Kingdom, Portugal and Mozambique, which was a colony of Portugal. https://www.familytreedna.com/my/bigy-blocktree Edit: I couldn't find it earlier...

As for French DNA, beside French Canadians and Cajun, there were Hugenots that came early and fade out rapidly into the general American population and could be part of the American background genetic. But that would be a too low for the score they give, my guess is a good part of German DNA is...

I have the same feeling than both of you, something is not right. There's too many farmer haplogroups in today's Iberia for them to have come back en masse later. Maybe the R1b men were buried differently than the other so we only find them; maybe the farmers were peasant with little wealth and...

John Hawks talk about the subject last month in a Gibraltar conference. The relevant part start about 28:00. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aa3258dAOxo

Mende in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea; Yoruba from Nigeria to Côte-d'Ivoire... From the fossil record, homo rhodesiensis seems too young, maybe homo antecessor or homo ergaster? Maybe a new homo species we haven't found trace of yet?

Looking at the overall map: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/figure/image?size=large&id=info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0211562.g001 It makes me wonder what we are missing under the lower Po Valley, the Channel Valley, the Doggerland Valley, the Bay of Biscay's shore, all of which are...

"Another solution would be NOT to encourage women to have a professional career. Left-wingers argue that this is "freedom"." And it's also basic right wing free market. Or it should be. Some women would be quite happy at home with their husband working outside, others need to see adults and...
