I also find the straightforward correlation of haplogroup and ethnicity problematic, at the least..

I hear a lot of people here talk continuously about haplogroups but I'm wondering why it means so much to these people. I'm very interested in my ancestry but I fail to understand why knowing the Y-DNA of the male line in my family is of great importance. It really doesn't tell a person much about their overall ancestry. Might these haplogroups be overrated?

Personally I think that overriding/discounting assumptions based on history/culture/linguistics, with genetic data, is like disbelieving a birth certificate on account of your skin tone not matching your mother's/father's..

I tend to think that genetic details may often be coincidental as opposed to informative.

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

Sometimes they can give you info about your modern ancestry, but mostly they're just talked about way too seriously.

I'd find a reference to an ancestor in some monastery document far more interesting, for example, than being told by a dna ancestry company that I share some genetic profile with a quarter of all Europeans...

So fucking true lmao

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
