We are currently searching for a project to fund. The project must be looking to test the Y-DNA of Late Neolithic/Early Copper Age skeletal remains for areas most likely to contain haplogroup R1b. Specifically, we are looking to test the following: Bell Beaker and pre-Bell Beaker remains from Iberia – to confirm or rule out ...read more
Ancient DNA analysis of two male skeletons from the Late Neolithic Bell Beaker site of Kromsdorf, Germany showed they belonged to Y-DNA haplogroup R1b.[1] More specifically, one skeleton belonged to R1b (M343) with the testing of R1b1a2 (marker M269) having failed and the other skeleton belonged to R1b1a2. Both were ancestral for SNP U106. No ...read more
This is a pilot project to study the Y-DNA from the skeletal remains of Copper Age Europeans with the goal of finding the source of Y-chromosome R1b's spread.
