Could there be any ancients among us.
Or by now each r haplogroup has evolved into either r1a or R1b clades.
Are there any basal R people left.
 
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 their lines branched out from the R tree before R1a and R1b did.

Wow that's amazing!
Thanks!

Not really. Those are R, not R*. Same for all other macro-haplogroups, in the sense you'll find participants not tested downstream in all of them: J, E, G, T etc.
