Haplogroup Q-Y2197, also known as Haplogroup Q-M242, is a genealogical group of lineages defined by unique genetic markers present on the Y-chromosome. It's commonly found among populations in the United Kingdom and Ireland and is linked to the Marsh Arab population in Mesopotamia.
Archaeologists discovered the remains of a Copper Age baby in a well near Faenza, Italy. Despite the poor preservation of the skeleton, advanced techniques allowed scientists to determine the baby's age, health, sex, and maternal lineage, revealing a rare haplogroup uncommon in Copper Age Italy.
A detailed phylogenetic tree representing the haplogroup Q-Y2197, showing its subclades, estimated ages, and associated sample IDs. It visualizes the relationships between individuals carrying this haplogroup based on SNP data.
This FamilyTreeDNA page details the haplogroup Q-Y2197, tracing its origins back to an ancestor around 200 CE who branched off from Q-Y2232. The most recent common ancestor of the Q-Y2197 lineage is estimated to have lived around 400 CE, with a 95% probability range of 83-662 CE. Currently, there are 697 tested descendants, primarily originating from Poland, Ukraine, and Lithuania, with connections to historical regions like India and Central Asia. The platform encourages further testing to refine the family tree and age estimates, offering tools to explore branches and connect with relatives.
