genetics - Online phylogenetic tree of human lineages


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



enter image description here


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.
