Hey Mods, is there a phylogenetic tree and Neolithic-Bronze Age map in the works for MTDNA?
Since Women jumped from one archeological culture to another apparently, it would be interesting to see the Woman’s side of the story as well. :)
J1c7a+16092 appears to have jumped from the Nordic/Baltic Sea Bronze Age to the North Sea before evolving to J1c7a36 apparently.

mtDNA was studied a lot in the past in genetics studies because it was the easiest to analyze, including ancient DNA. I think the problem is that mtDNA has undergone fewer genetic mutations, and therefore provides less information to reconstruct all human migrations. Y-DNA provides more information for recent and intermediate events (last 10,000-20,000 years), while mtDNA is more reliable for very old events (over 20,000-50,000 years) because of its stability.
 
There are a number of mtDNA haplotrees online:

FTDNA: https://www.familytreedna.com/public/mt-dna-haplotree/
YFull: https://www.yfull.com/mtree/

FTDNA recently announced updates to their tree and a discovery tool, including migration maps:

In fact, FTDNA is updating the mitochondrial clades and subclades in a new mitochondrial tree that the company calls Mitotree as opposed to the traditional mitochondrial tree that the company calls Classic. Mitotree is designated as being in the Beta stage, that is, under development, not yet final. Users of the platform obtain the results of both trees, that is, both Mitotree Beta and the Classic tree. This subject was addressed by Tautalus in a post in the thread 'mtDNA of all Forum Users'https://www.eupedia.com/forum/threads/mtdna-of-all-forum-users.45367/post-687111 and some users posted their Beta results there. I highlight that Mitotree converges in amost of all with the Yfull mitochondrial tree.
