DNA of Nations
Ancestral Lines
What the Y chromosome says about the origin of peoples and their kin groups — teips, tribes, surnames: which paternal lines a people carries, which of its groups carry each one, and when their branches diverged.
Peoples
- Chechens
152 teips and five main lines: Caucasian connections and distant kinship with Native Americans.
- Kazakhs
26 tribes of the three juzes: from the shared Steppe line to the branches of individual tribes.
- Scots
369 surnames: the story of Somerled and two houses, read through DNA.
