Haplogroup R1b - Clade: L-21 - Scots

 dna
Haplogroup R1b is discussed in a Wikipedia article.

The Scots clade was so named independently by Nordtvedt and McEwan based on their observations that persons of this group generally have a Scottish ancestry. Livingston studied the geographical distribution of this group and reports "the overwhelming concentration of this cluster is found in the British Isles and Iceland - Scotland (24%), the Shetland Islands (21%), Iceland (6%), Ireland (5%), England (4%), and lastly Wales (3%)."

Haplotype Table

A modal haplotype is the set of markers corresponding to the most frequently observed values for each marker. The markers highlighted are said to be off modal and patterns in these markers distinguish one branch or family from another.

Time to Most Recent Common Ancestor

The Time To Most Recent Ancestor (TMRCA) is a measure of relatedness and well defined in the case of a family tree wherein one simply counts the number of generations back to the most recent common ancestor shared with someone else in the tree. From differences in haplotypes between two men it is possible to make a rough estimate of the probability that the TMRCA falls between two numbers. The numbers reported in the table below are such that the TMRCA will be less than the number shown with a probability of 95%.
