Human Y-Chromosome Phylogenetic Tree

The human Y-chromosome phylogenetic tree is a visual map showing how men’s Y-chromosomes, passed from father to son, have evolved over time. It traces the common ancestors and branching points of different male lineages globally. Each branch represents a group of related Y-chromosomes, revealing patterns of migration, population changes, and how all men are connected through paternal ancestors. This tree helps scientists understand human history, migration routes, and genetic diversity among male populations.
