Wie viele von Ihnen interessieren sich für Haplogruppen?

Pic related is a map of Finland’s most commonly appearing haplogroup, N1c1. I’ve been interested in this topic for some time now, and I thought if anyone of you happen to be interested as well, or if you know your own haplogroup already.

Haplogroups, in short, are classifications of genetic markers, which points towards a most common shared ancestor with a group of people; this group can be as small as an ethnic minority or encompass multiple nationstates. R1b is very common in Western Europe, while R1a is more common among Slavic people in Eastern Europe. N1c1 is most common in Finland and with the Finno-Ugrics peoples inside Russia, with notable frequency in the Baltics.

Have you found your own haplogroup already, and if so, what is it? Is it contrasting with other haplogroups found in your country of origin or in your country of residence, and what do you think it means?

I personally haven’t found mine out yet, but I’d be interested to know it, as I am a history enthusiast, and I’d like to see what direction did my direct paternal line of heritage comes from.

I go old school and focus on the shape and circumference of one’s skull /s

p.s. there are better hobbies out there. Just saying.
