Updated Genetic Information: Y Haplo group refined

The Y Haplo group of Otzi has been more clearly defined than what this article shows. See https://popgen.us/2014/09/oetzi-the-icemans-y-haplogroup-update/ Bennoffsinger (talk) 04:19, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note that while this article is from 2014 there is a 2020 edit that seems to confirm the Y Haplo group information was still correct as of 2020 understanding. Bennoffsinger (talk) 04:20, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
