If anyone is a member of a group created by me and you want to take over that group, please let me know. I am spread very thin these…

The common direct paternal ancestor of all men alive today was born in Africa around 140,000 years ago. He was neither the first human male nor the only male alive in his time. He was the only male whose direct lineage is present in current generations. Most men, including your direct paternal ancestors, trace their ancestry to one of this man’s descendants.

Your branch of this lineage took part in out-of-Africa migrations. Your ancestors traveled to West Asia where they lived by…

Branch: L21

Age: 5,500 – 12,000 Years Ago

Location of Origin: West Asia

Today, members of this lineage are widely distributed across Europe and West Asia. They reach their highest frequency in Ireland where they and descendant branches contribute to between 35 and 38 percent of the male population. This line is 6 to 7 percent of male lineages in France. It is between 1 and 2 percent of male lineages…

Branch: P310

Location of Origin: West Asia

While some from this group traveled west into Central Asia, others moved south toward the Levant region. Today, they are present in trace frequencies of less than 1 percent in Italy, the Ukraine, and the region of the Pannonian Basin.
