r1b

Eastern Anatolia has played a major role in the development of the Neolithic, Chalcolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age. It is also one of the most complex region for population geneticists to disentangle due to its high level of genetic diversity. In this thread I would like to propose an answer...

I made my first R1b migration map over four years ago. Little has changed since then in the way I see the history of R1b people. What changed are the names of subclades and the new branches of S116/P312, like DF19, DF27 and L238, or the recent discovery of the Indo-European Z2103 branch in the...

I have updated the R1b-S28 (U152) history, adding a section about the Villanova culture: The expansion of the Urnfield/Halstatt culture to Italy is evident in the form of the Villanovan culture (c. 1100-700 BCE), which shared striking resemblances with the Urnfield/Hallstatt sites of Bavaria...

As we've seen on Eupedia, there has been a natural rivalry between hg. R and I, but for some reason we don't see a similiar conversation involving the Japanese revolving around y-hg. O and D. This is intriguing to me because in Japan blood typing is almost a national obsession. Has DNA...

I don't know much about the more specific lines of R1b. Would one of the experts know what this means... R1b1a2a1a1b4 One site says this is L238 and another indicates L21-M529-S145-L459 which seems like a bit of a distance both genetically and geographically. Any help is appreciated.

We have discussed this topic extensively in various threads on the forum over the years, but there doesn't seem to be one thread dedicated to the subject. I will summarise my thoughts here so that I don't have to repeat myself every time. As I have explained in my R1b history, between 2500 and...

I recently was added as a co-admin to the "R1b and Subcllades" project at http://www.familytreedna.com/public/r1b/ I volunteered for this because I want to see broader and deeper testing of R1b people with the hope of better understanding where we started out and how we got to where we are...

Hello everyone, I've read this site for several years but this will be my first post and appreciate your responses. Does anyone know anything about these two markers DYS490=10 and DYS534=16? It appears from reading various blogs that SRY-2627 can be divided into two groups: 1) =12, =15...

A new paper on haplogroup G by Rootsi et al. was published two days ago. They compiled a new database of some 1500 members of hg G spread over nearly 100 regions and listed frequencies in all these regions for 17 subclades of G. This is by far the most comprehensive study of hg G so far. I am...

Emerging genetic patterns of the european neolithic: Perspectives from a late neolithic bell beaker burial site in Germany† Esther J. Lee et al. Abstract The transition from hunting and gathering to agriculture in Europe is associated with demographic changes that may have shifted the...

Begoña Martínez-Cruz et al. (2012) studied the frequencies of Y-haplogroups in the Spanish and French Basque country, Gascony, Navarra, La Rioja, northern Aragon, Cantabria, and northern Castille & Leon. There are 835 samples, making it the biggest and most detailed study for the region so far...

I originally wanted to post this in Linguistics, but I realized that this is a topic that straddles both linguistics and genetics, so I decided to post it here. The Beaker-Bell Culture is one of the most puzzling archaeological cultures, and it has been frquently discussed on the forum as s...

I am looking to find out how, exactly, a DNA sample goes from an R1b1b2 to, say, an R1b1b2aib4. As I am relatively new to this disciplins please forgive my naivete as to how difficult this may be. My results were: 393 390 19a 391 385a 385b 426 388 439 389I 392 389II 458 459a 459b 455 454 447...
