Back to the Results PDF.
We have noted, and discussed the reasons, that results are grouped first by Haplogroup. The first column shows 3 different Haplogroups. I1a, R1a1, R1b. What do they represent?
We have talked about our deep ancestry. Let’s go back to DNA Heritage and Map 2 on this tutorial. (Scroll down to Map 2.) […]
I hope you have been able to see it.
I have tried to represent how I understand why the Haplogroup designation is significant and how it is relevant to our quest.
With the flash presentations (movies) R1a1 and I1a, we were able to see the prevailing theory on the migrations of man through time, geography, and changes […]
We continue to work our way through Haplogroups.
Remember that the haplogroup is the first column of our results page. It gives us an indication of a person’s deep ancestry and is first indicator of relatedness to another person. (Haplogroups must be the same.)
We left off, last post, with a map of the distribution of haplogroups […]
I know the movies were long. They are actually divided into 2 parts:
Tracing the journey of man, moving physically out of Africa through “branches” in the DNA, the Haplogroups
Then they trace a particular subgroup (R1a1, I1a) through the dna sub_branches.We see indeed, that there exists a tree of branches and sub_branches that correspond to particular […]
I hope by now you have taken a look at the Results pdf, and have a little understanding of what information is in the rows (participants in the project), columns (their particulars) and the grouping by similar characteristics (haplogroups and # of matches at particular markers). If you would like to see how we […]
