gnomancerY chromosome (paternal line)
Haplogroup E-M215 / E-M35
Originated in East Africa and spread to North Africa, the Near East and Southern Europe; a major lineage in Ethiopia, Somalia, the Maghreb, Greece and the Balkans.
How gnomancer finds it
The Y haplogroup is called from the Y-chromosome sites on your chip by yhaplo (ISOGG tree) with a second opinion from Yleaf on the current YFull, FamilyTreeDNA and ISOGG trees. Arrays type a few thousand Y sites, so the call stops at roughly this depth; Y sequencing (e.g. Big Y-700) is needed for a terminal subclade.
