This page displays the ancestral markers or pedigree of a given node on the phylogenetic tree of mankind.
While the whole phylogenetic tree is vast, this tool provides a simplified display showing only the ancestral markers for one, single lineage at a time
or to compare two markers and see where the lineages diverge.
For non-recombining portions of DNA such as the Y-chromosome, scientists and genetic genealogists are
literally assembling a tree of mankind based on key genetic marker mutations.
Most of these markers are classified as
SNPs meaning single nucleotide polymorphism.
The markers here are medically insignificant but do suggest descent from a common ancestor
at a point in time.
Our understanding of this pedigree is growing rapidly thanks to advances in
DNA sequencing techology and improved extraction techniques for ancient human samples. These advances combined with
a growing sample of modern persons tested with high resolution, next-generation sequencing have enabled our community to
find new branches on a weekly basis during 2017 and 2018.
What is presented below is GeneticHomeland.com's working draft of the phylogenetic order of markers based on a variety of sources.
It is by no means final or authoritative but offered for genealogical purposes and entertainment only. This tool works in conjunction
with our DNA Marker Index which shows additional information for individual markers.
The longest pedigree is 54 genetic marker branches deep.
Currently there are 24,005 branches recorded in our database as of 2/16/2019 1:45:31 PM.

Phylogenetic Ancestral Tree for [M207 Page37 PAGES00037 PF6038 UTY2 rs2032658] on Chromosome Y (Tree 20651)
Defining mutation for near-root haplogroup A0-T (aka A0'1'2'3'4). That is to say father of ALL modern Y-DNA lineages except A00. hg38 has incorrect Ref versus SNP tree (2/24/2018).
Defining mutation for haplogroup K. Predecessor of haplogroups T, P, and NO. Arose about 45,000 bce. hg38 has incorrect Ref versus SNP tree (2/24/2018).
Designates major haplogroup R* (ancestor to R1b, R1a, and R2) aka K2b2a2 in early years. Arose about 30,000 bce. hg38 has incorrect Ref versus SNP tree (2/24/2018).
