I assume that as these splits occur, that those of us left in I1-ASgen will become a smaller group. If so, it seems that will also have a value. -- Gene Prescott Greenville, NC C. Eugene Prescott, CPA web/blogsite: http://taxtechcpa.blogspot.com/ There is always something new!

The generics will simply have additional downstream snps which split the overall generics population into smaller pockets of generics associated with each tree branch. What pulls haplotypes out of the generics status is to be seen part of a clade of haplotypes sufficiently clumped to reasonably conclude descent from a datable common ancestor. And sometimes the additional downstream snps will help reveal that the generics on a specific branch line are indeed closer in a variance or GD sense from clades on that same branch. But the tree will now be pushing toward the present in its bushy domain; nodes are close together and the haplotype population more and more difficult to separate into clusters without the help of the downstream snps. One of my big interests in the z-series tree is to help figure out the relationships between the robust and long ago identified clades such as AS1, AS2, ........ T2, I1-P, EE, ML, ....... -----Original Message----- From: Gene Prescott Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2011 10:23 AM To: y-dna-haplogroup-i@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [yDNAhgI] Tree for I1 with new Z snps I assume that as these splits occur, that those of us left in I1-ASgen will become a smaller group.
