to an explanation of the Y chromosome testing terminology. I have read The Y
Chromosome in the study of human evolution, migration and prehistory and
hoped I would gradually pick things up from reading the posts but I need a
bit of help. I am interested in testing a male cousin to find, for example,
if we come from Viking stock. I have had the mtDNA test done, and understand
the haplogroups there, but the Y-chromosome seems more complex.
