Y-DNA A1b1-M118

[Brás Garcia de Mascarenhas]

I stumbled upon a native Portuguese that has this results:

Haplogroup

Maternal L1b1a6
Paternal A1b1-M118

European 99.9%

Iberian 71.6%
British & Irish 2.7%
Italian 2.6%
French & German 0.0%
Ashkenazi Jewish 0.1%
Balkan 0.2%
Finnish 0.1%
Broadly Southern European 12.0%
Broadly Northwestern European 7.4%
Broadly European 3.2%

Western Asian & North African 0.1%


This is extremely rare and unusual. From my understanding this particular branch is not even common among modern humans in Africa, where it supposedly originated from. What are your thoughts and hypothesis?

WE WUZ KANGS N SHIET, lol. A truly descendant of a Black moor. The haplogroup is very common among the Nilotic and Omotic peoples of East Africa.

I think it is a survivor from a way older era than that, besides I am not aware of Moors from Kenya and Uganda. They have found A haplogroups in Sardinia and Scadinavia\Finland before but it is extremely rare.

Dude, I was just pulling your leg. The man doesn't even score SSA admixture for it to be recent.

His HG may be as old as Paleolithic in Europe.

He his african on both sides. It would be interesting to see his k15 or k13 results.

The clade ancestral to his has been found in Sardinia and Saudi Arabia. https://www.yfull.com/arch-4.01/tree/A-M13/
