R-L664 (Y-DNA)

R-L664 Y DNA Haplogroup Project

R-L664 also known as R1a1a1a Is a Y DNA Haplogroup that formed 4700 ybp with TMRCA 4000 ybp. It spans Sweden, Denmark, Belgium and England. It is an extremely rare haplogroup comprising less than 1% of the population of these countries. It is associated with the corded ware” (pottery) culture along with domesticated horses, two wheeled chariots and the Indo-European language. It is closely related to but does not include Z283 (R1a1a1b1) and Z93 (R1a1a1b2). The group probably entered England after the age of the Romans.
