Haplogroup BT M91, also known as Haplogroup A1b2 (and formerly as A4, BR and BCDEF), is a Y-chromosome haplogroup. BT is a subclade of haplogroup A1b (P108) and a sibling of the haplogroup A1b1 (L419/PF712).[1]

Macrohaplogroup BT has been found in populations on every continent, since prehistoric times. It is the progenitor clade of the paternal haplogroups B and CT.

Haplogroup BT has been found in various fossils that were analysed for ancient DNA. The oldest so far known BT was found in Upper Paleolithic European, Gravettian, Vestonice15.[2] It was also found in individuals excavated in Malawi at Fingira Rock, which have been dated to 6175-5923 years ago, carried BT (2/2 males; 100%). This paragroup was also observed in a Later Stone Age skeleton at Mount Hora, Malawi (1/1 males; 100%), dated to around 8000 years before present.[3]

Phylogenetics

The ISOGG tree since 2014 has treated M91 as the defining mutation of BT.[4]

  • B M60, M181, P85, P90
  • CT P9.1, M168, M294

Prior to 2002, there were in academic literature at least seven naming systems for the Y-Chromosome Phylogenetic tree. This led to considerable confusion. In 2002, the major research groups came together and formed the Y-Chromosome Consortium (YCC). They published a joint paper that created a single new tree that all agreed to use.

The revised y-chromosome family tree by Cruciani et al. (2011) compared with the family tree from Karafet et al. (2008). Cruciani et al. (2011) define BT via M91 and P97, and as a consequence, ISOGG has listed BT since February 2012, and treated M91 as defining mutation for BT since 2014.[5]
