The Uralic line

N

Where it is common today

Finland, the Baltics and Siberia — the Uralic peoples.

How old it is

This branch split from its parent about 36,800 years ago (between 34,300 and 39,300).

Every man who carries it today descends from one man who lived about 22,000 years ago (between 19,800 and 24,300).

Every test reads your line to a different depth. One report says J1, another J-P58, another a code four steps further down — all of them are right, the longer one is simply more detailed. HealthOS reads as deep as your file allows.
