Not all scientific findings are accomplished by professionals. This is what dedicated individuals can do. This traces the diaspora of a single 4,000 year old YSNP (Y chromosome mutation) https://wheatonwood.com/2022/11/30/the-human-diaspora-illustrated-through-a-single-y-snp/ #FTDNA #DNA #genealogy #GeneticGenealogy #YDNA #diaspora #AncientDNA #Ancientcultures #FGC22501

@kwheaton

Family Tree - the business that many can send in DNA to? Are the donors aware that their DNA is being used for research? Have they agreed to it?

@MaryPot yes. They have all voluntarily joined this project and what connects them is a 4000 year old SNP. The goal of the project IS the research!

@MaryPot furthermore I did not include there surnames on the map in the post. Since most if this is presurname there is nothing anyone could do with the info that would put anyone at risk. Only those who have joined are included.

@MaryPot @kwheaton the data protection measures they have in place seem to be fairly well aligned to GDPR standards in the EU from what I can see on the user interface side.

@kwheaton very cool! Are these dates based on the Big Y Time Tree or something else?

@theDNAgeek the dates of the ancient remains are based on the dates ascribed to the individuals by archaelogists. The dates for U152, L2 etc are based on FTDNA 's estimates. The other dates are based on the historic record. I just think it's pretty dam cool what we have done in 7 years.

@kwheaton ah, okay. I was curious how you determined that the SNP was 4000 years old and not older.

@theDNAgeek its a range of 4000-4500 years ago.

@kwheaton gotcha! Don’t you just love this stuff? I’m excited to see how FTDNA develops the Time Tree and how well it correlates with projects like yours.

@kwheaton incredible! It is shocking that the German genealogy and history community is widely unaware of the great effects collaboration in this space can have on your „deep/deeper“ ancestry…
