Your Ancestral Profile
Probabilistic haplogroup prediction based on 18 physical trait markers
Maternal Lineage · mtDNA
H1a3
Near East → Western Europe
Haplogroup H is the most common mtDNA haplogroup in Europe, found in ~40–50% of Western Europeans. The H1a subclade arose approximately 10,000–12,000 years ago in the Near East and spread with early Neolithic farmers into Europe.
Paternal Lineage · Y-DNA
R1b1a2a1a
Pontic Steppe → Atlantic Europe
R1b is the most common Y-chromosome haplogroup in Western Europe. The R1b1a2a1a subclade (L11) is particularly associated with the Bell Beaker archaeological culture and its expansion across Atlantic Europe ~4,500 years ago.
Your Lineage Narrative
AI-Generated · ProbabilisticYour phenotypic profile traces a deep Western European ancestry rooted in the Atlantic fringe of the continent. The dominant mtDNA signature — Haplogroup H1a3 — places your maternal lineage among the early Neolithic farmers who migrated from Anatolia into Europe approximately 8,000 years ago, carrying agriculture, new pottery traditions, and their genetic legacy westward.
The paternal Y-DNA signature R1b1a2a1a (L11) tells a complementary but distinct story — that of the Pontic Steppe horsemen who swept into Europe during the Bronze Age approximately 4,500 years ago, dramatically reshaping the genetic landscape of Western Europe. This dual ancestry — Neolithic farmer mother-lineage meeting Steppe pastoralist father-lineage — is the genetic signature of most modern Atlantic Europeans.
Your haplogroup profile is most closely matched to contemporary Welsh, Cornish, and Irish populations — the Atlantic communities where this ancient genetic stratigraphy is best preserved.
