What are supergroups?
Some haplogroups are the foundation for a number of other haplogroups. These “supergroups” are older, and most supergroups are not commonly found today because most of their descendents branched into other haplogroups. An example of a supergroup is R, which is the founding haplogroup preceding J, T, B, U, K, H, and V. Individuals belonging to the supergroup R and none of its branches are often labeled R*, meaning that they belong to R but not to any of its children haplogroups.
SuperGroups are communities that span across multiple social networks. With SuperGroups, you can join or create groups that are accessible from Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, Hi5 and MySuperGroups.com. Now groups of people can share information and build community around almost anything in one common space. SuperGroups are available via the Web, Email, and Mobile.
