R-L48/S162+ (Y-DNA)

This project is for people who have tested and been assigned the paternal haplogroup L48/S162 (also known as R1b1a2a1a1a4) or a subgroup of this, and also for people who are believed to have belonged to this paternal haplogroup based on tests done on descendants.

Defining Mutations

• L48, also known as S162. Estimation of formation is 4700 years before present (approx 2700 BCE) according to YFull.com.

Origin

Likely Germanic tribes.

Distribution

(to be added)

The path from R to L48

The "R1b1b2a2" notation has proved unstable; this page uses the R-<mutation> notation.

(in revision - will follow the YFull tree)

• R (formed 31300 YBP) - R-Y482 - R1 - R1b - R1b1 (formed 18400 ybp)
  • R-L389
    • R-M269
      • R-L51
        • R-L151
          • R-U106 (formed 4900 ypb)

Under R-U106:

• R-S263
  • R-S499 (4900 ybp)
    • R-L48/S162 <==== This project

Sister clades to R-L48 under R-S499 include R-U198 and R-L259.
