*******************************
GlobeTrekker Map Instructions:
Sign-in to your account, look under the BigY section and select Discover GlobeTrekker.
Now you have the entire migration of your BigY. Scroll down and you will see dates for your BigY SNP's.

You can click on the play button to run the animation video. (if it asks you to sign-in, just do it again). After it runs it will stop at modern times and show 2000 at the bottom of the map. Using your mouse center the image and scroll (zoon in) into just England. You will see your BigY SNP's that make up your male YDNA. Now make some changes to your map.

1. Click Simplify off and then back on.
2. Click Ancient Connections on
3. Click on Display Options
4. Click Descendants Off
5. Center and Zoom in and Out to get a good view of all SNP areas in England. Each SNP has a date and history

This next step is difficult for some, please create your map and email your admin a copy of your map for review. Center and enlarge to get the most number of towns and counties names visable and location of crossing into Pre-England lands. Use the Snip & Sketch tool in Windows (Windows key + Shift + S). Use the mouse to mark the area and save as JPG. (Google how to use Snip & Sketch for help) NOTE: A save as from the full screen map will produce a black map as Windows save as does not support transparency maps such as GlobeTrekker.

Caveats and Known Limitations

The algorithm is based on the assumption that present-day populations tend to live near their ancestral locations. When this assumption is false, such as when an entire population relocated from its original location, the algorithm will not be able to estimate the original location. (Example: Jewish Diaspora)

Pre-Columbian migrations are targeted and later migrations to the New World are not shown here.
Land routes are often preferred over water routes, which may be inaccurate for the age of sea travel. (Example: Mediterranean sea travel)

Although the algorithm attempts to compensate for sampling bias (i.e., people from some countries and cultures are much more likely to take a DNA test than others) and we include data from many population genetic studies to fill the gaps, many countries and populations are under-represented. This can make it hard to estimate the true origins of haplogroups that originate from those places and peoples.

Freshwater lakes are currently not considered.
Climatic effects, such as the aridity of the Sahara Desert, or conversely, the lushness of the Green Sahara (African humid period), are currently not considered.

Ancient Connections for each ancestral split are automatically selected to show the oldest archaeological connection for each sibling lineage.

The migration path location at any given time is interpolated assuming a steady migration pace between haplogroup locations.
The map always shows the maximum land extent for when the sea level was the lowest (Last Glacial Maximum, around 20,000 years ago) and currently does not change with the time slider.

Self-reported ancestral locations at very small islands are sometimes snapped to the nearest larger piece of land. (Example: Seiskari island)

Due to the large geographical uncertainty, countries larger than 10,000,000 km˛ (i.e. Russia) require a more detailed province or location than just country information for the sample location to be included in the calculations.
