Hg R1a is believed to have originated on the Eurasian Steppes and is now found in western and central Asia, India, and Slavic populations of eastern Europe, but also as far west as Scandinavia and the British Isles. These are the original "Indo-Europeans" whose cultures and languages were the first to dominate much of Europe; it is the culture that domesticated the horse. Some argue that only R1a is the true "Viking" haplogroup.
Four members of Danish Demes are R1a, one of whom is R1a1.
None of the four matches each other, so they represent four different Danish R1a lineages.

R1a Haplogroup Subclades as Defined by SNP Mutations
Only one of our R1a members has been deep SNP tested showing he is subclade R1a1. The fact of the matter is that most R1a's will turn out to be R1a1, so getting deep SNP tests may only prove what is already suspected. On the other hand, the subclades of R1a1 are rare, so if you are one of them, it's an interesting thing to know about oneself, plus sharing that information would be of considerable interest to R1a researchers. (SNPs in parentheses indicate a redundant marker, tested by some labs, but not FTDNA.) |
