Display of the ancestral genetic markers or pedigree of an individual genetic marker on the phylogenetic tree of human beings.
| Tree Level | DNA Marker / Branch Name | Alternative Names | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | HomoErectus | Represents the last common maternal ancestor of Humans, Neanderthal, Heidelbergensis, and Denisovans. Expressed as an insertion at RSRS position 247 relative reference sequence. DNA lineage HomoErectus is estimated to have originated in about the year 1.9 million bce. | |
| 2 | Denisovans | DN | Represents the last common maternal ancestor of all Denisovans. Labeled haplogroup DN on YFull tree with SNPs: C456T, C534T, T596C, et al. DNA lineage Denisovans is estimated to have originated in about the year 652,000 bce. |
| 3 | DN1 | Phylogenetic branch of Denisovan MtDNA. Example is ancient sample Baishiya_Layer7 from Gansu, China 100,000 bce. DNA lineage DN1 is estimated to have originated in about the year 302,000 bce. | |
| 4 | DN1a | Phylogenetic branch of Denisovan MtDNA. Example is ancient sample Denisova4 from Altai, Russia 68,000 bce. DNA lineage DN1a is estimated to have originated in about the year 275,000 bce. | |
| 5 | DN1a2 | Phylogenetic branch of Denisovan MtDNA. Example is Baishiya_Layer4 from Gansu, China 56,000 bce. DNA lineage DN1a2 is estimated to have originated in about the year 255,000 bce. |
