I am looking for a source of information about the diversity of human lineages and their relationships.
With a quick google search it is easy to find this type of tree
A perfect online resource would...
- Contain a lot of lineages going to the most detailed lineages
- Contain links to wikipedia or other source of information that could help someone to:
- identify a group
- have an overview of their culture
- Contain visualization of their current (or past) geographic range.
- Contain visualization of migration patterns
- As mtDNA and Y chromosome may typically show different story, it'd be great if the resource would differentiate these and highlights specific cases where the two tree differ.
Can you recommend some online resources?
A review paper with nice graphs would also be welcome.

Trees for haplogroups
See
More detailed for mtDNA (female lineage):
More detailed for the Y chromosome (male lineage):
"Trees" for populations
Note that the trees are for genes/haplogroups, whereas such a "tree" for populations actually also has gene flow across branches. Imagine overlaying the tree for mtDNA (female lineage) with the slightly different tree for Y-DNA (male lineage).
Geography of migration
Migration and geographical distance played a key role in the emergence of distinct populations. See
Also check out how theories about migration are changing. For example about mutation M174: theory around the year 2010 vs. theory since at least 2016.
