I-S2488's paternal line was formed when it branched off from the ancestor
I-FGC29569 and the rest of mankind around 2250 BCE.
This date is an estimate based on genetic information only. With a 95% probability, the ancestor I-FGC29569 was born between the years 2998 and 1645 BCE. The most likely estimate is 2269 BCE, rounded to 2250 BCE.
This estimate will likely change in the future as more people test and we improve the method.

The man who is the most recent common ancestor of this line is estimated to have been born around 2150 BCE.
This date is an estimate based on genetic information only. With a 95% probability, the most recent common ancestor of all members of haplogroup I-S2488 was born between the years 2969 and 1476 BCE. The most likely estimate is 2159 BCE, rounded to 2150 BCE.
This estimate will likely change in the future as more people test and we improve the method.
