Haplogroup autism

[Dna8]

Is not everything but they need to divide people based on origin ethnic groups, that is what Haplogroup purpose

Important to prove or disprove migration patterns

But how can something as haphazard as ancient migratory patterns be used to clarify contemporary ethnic considerations?

Wouldn't that be like trying to write a thesis on Ancient Rome based upon contemporary patterns/trends in bird migrations? (hyperbole, but a corresponding tenuousness of link?)

Mine were important to me because it's a definite line that's very long. Paper trails can be wrong, there's no written records past a certain point in history, but those groups (while still subject to human error) are very reliable pieces of information that you know for a fact belong to you. My dad's y-DNA actually helped us figure out the correct surname for our family's male line. But I understand what you mean when you say some people place too much importance on them. For me, it's the certainty of it. Autosomal is kind of hit or miss but those classifications are pretty definite, and you can trace them very far back. It's the only connection we really have to our ancient ancestors.

On the other hand, perhaps some folk just have an interest in genetic data (irrespective of its application to history).. which is fair enough.

One man's intense interest in contemporary commercial prawn farming, is another man's nonsense..

Good point. And fair enough.

Idk brother how answer your question

Ethnic tribes have specific Haplogroup(s) in their origin that can filter out migratory Haplogroup that get picked up by tribes, clans, nation states that are foreign origin

[Antimatter]

This is a very big error. I doubt my friend (who is a Levantine) would associate himself with Indo-Europeans just because his haplogroup is R1b-Z2103.

[Zroota]

Haplogroup important when study genetic, it is your oldest ancestor, root or origin

Pretty much this.

Pretty much this.

yes one of thousands
