Missing Link

I am hip deep in my new genetic research, trying madly to digest it all. Today I got my mitochondrial DNA results which chart my maternal chromosomes. It came back as a K haplogroup. My 497T mutation gets me into the major K1a subclade which is about 60% of K. My 16234T mutation probably indicates membership in the largest Ashkenazi subclade K1a1b1a. It will definitely take a while for me to learn enough to put it in perspective.

I did discover something quite strange during my research on the Y- DNA. I mentioned that I had very few genetic matches. I uploaded to Ysearch and there were five subjects that I at least shared partial Y results with. One of them is apparently an ancient Cro Magnon Man found in England! We are identical according to the available DNA.


 Cro Magnon's were very similar to modern humans but had a larger cranial capacity. (interestingly enough, I have an extraordinarily large 7&7/8" size noggin.) I have to wonder if I am a strange offshoot of a little inter special hanky panky with our hirsute ancestral kin? Next time my wife asks me if I got my manners in a cave, I can reply with a sense of assurance.
