2. Figure 1
Age ranges for major founder clusters—namely, those comprising ≥40 lineages (which comprise 76% of the European data set), under the fs criterion. The proportion of lineages in each cluster is indicated. The 95% (50%) CRs for the age estimates of each cluster are shown by white (black) bars. The age classes used in the partition analysis are also indicated. Since the U* founder cluster (incorporating U5 under fs) is very non-starlike, its CRs are certainly underestimated. Although frequent, the cluster U5a1 is not shown, since it is probably of European origin, as discussed in the text.
