Y-DNA haplogroup project

A Y-DNA haplogroup project researches and groups men based on their direct paternal lineage, identified through specific genetic markers on the Y chromosome. These groups, or haplogroups, trace back to common ancestors and reveal migration patterns and historical origins. Participants often test their Y-DNA to learn about their ancestral roots, connecting with others who share similar genetic backgrounds. These projects help expand our understanding of human migration, diversity, and history by clustering related lineages worldwide.
