1.   FT DNA Project:

There are now 294 members in our H11 project. Full sequence results are completed on 254 members of the group. Interestingly 205 members of this group have also done Family Finder. Unfortunately it is not possible to visually look at the Family Finder results as that would compromise the privacy of individuals. However, you can look at your matches in Family Finder.

3.   The latest release of the phylotree used by FT DNA was dated 18 Feb 2016:


H11 breakdown in the PhyloTree mt:
Within the study group we have members in every sub-haplogroup except H11a5 (and it can be seen in the chart above that the mutation C15040T marks this subgrouping).

4.   Denisovan Ancestry:
Recently I read an online blog 


and discovered that this H11 individual also had a larger percentage of Denisovan ancestry (2.2%). Testing my brother at National Geographic 2.0 Project had yielded a result of 3.5% Denisovan. The average is 2.1%. H11 does appear to have “wintered” at the Ukraina Refuge during the Last Glacial Maximum and many members of our group are from Eastern Europe. Is it possible that other members of H11 also show a higher value for Denisovan?
