Y chromosome, though, does not really paint the recent ancestry for us in a country like the US (or any of the colonial countries), or even for much of Europe. Human migration has been ongoing for just too long.

You’re on this graph somewhere:

Oh, for sure. It’s interesting to me, because it suggests my distant ancestors probably inhabited the British Isles long before the Romans, Angles, Saxons and Jutes came in to subjugate the natives. It gives me no intel at all about the origins of my particular family, other than a likely starting point for their eventual migration to the American colonies. That’s close enough for me.

My head still swims when I read articles about all this genetic research, though. Too much terminology that I’m unfamiliar with.
