My paternal lineage is hg. R1a* (L62+, L63+, SRY10831.2-, M17-). it is part of R1a* (R-M420) for sure. But it does't belong to R1a1a (R-M17) or even R1a1 (R-SRY1532.2)
So, my Y-DNA is very, very different from hg. R1a1a-Z282 and hg. R1a1a-Z93/Z94.
But this paragroup is known now as R1a2 (R-YP4141). It then has three branches R1a2a (R-YP5018) and R1a2b (R-YP4132) and R1a2c (R-B111)
I want to know now whether I am in R1a2a, R1a2b or R1a2c branch or maybe something else, lol.
Btw, they found a sample of an ancient Cimmerian with Y-DNA hg. R1a2c-B111. It might be possible that there are some links between my paternal haplogroup and the haplogroup of the ancient Cimmerians, but i don't know. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cimmerians
