>>4144712It's not a lie, it's just that haplogroups don't tell you the whole story, but this infographic you shared is wrong
>The male and the female were determined to carry mitochondrial haplogroups J2a2a1a1 and R0a2, respectively… In addition, the Y chromosome of the male was Haplogroup Jthen you showed a map of the Y DNA Haplogroup J2.
There are 2 types of haplogroup. There is Y-DNA, which is from your Y chromosome, which you always get from your father, and it doesn't change that much over time. Then, there is MtDNA, which is from your mitochondria. You get it from your Mother. These 2 are totally separate and different, but the naming scheme is similar.
The haplogroup J2a2a1a1 is a mitochrondrial haplogroup, as the study said. It is NOT a subclade of the Y-DNA haplogroup J2. Those are 2 totally separate things. The Y-DNA haplogroup of the man is J, as the study said. We don't know which subclade he belongs to. Now, take a look at the frequency map of the MtDNA haplogroup J (It formed 45k years ago, R0a is a subclade of R0, which formed 30k-40k years ago)
This is more complex than you think, and you should learn more about it before you draw totally incorrect conclusions like that one
