Fig. 1

Condensed version of the most parsimonious (MP) tree of Y-chromosome haplogroup Q. This tree was obtained considering 1550 variable positions in 149 modern (this work; [22, 23, 26, 30, 39, 57,58,59, 61, 62]) and 3 ancient [6, 28, 58] Y chromosomes. Their geographic origin and Y-chromosome haplogroup affiliation are reported in Additional file 1: Table S1. The length of each branch is proportional to its age estimate. The name of the marker(s) defining the branches discussed in the text is shown. Markers reported in italics are outside the sequenced fragments, and the relative branches are reported as dashed red lines. Stars indicate ancient Y chromosomes, squares Europeans, rhombi Asians and circles Native Americas; colours of the symbols are according to the macro-areas defined in Additional file 2: Table S2. The 95% highest posterior density intervals for the Q-Z780, Q-M848, Q-M925, Q-Z5908, Q-Y4276 and Q-Z5906 TMRCAs are shown in the inset
