| Haplogroup 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. |
Eight members of Danish Demes are R1a; none is closely related
to any other.

| Modal haplotypes used below were compiled by Carl-Johan Swärdenheim,
Administrator of the
Scandinavian
Y-DNA Project at FTDNA, and posted by him to the Ysearch
database. For convenience in making comparisons, I extracted those
haplotypes and placed them in a table on
this page. |
