Ann:

Very astute distillation of the announcement. Yes, this is what we have also concluded.

It's interesting that this SNP united I and J. Haplogroup predictions based
on haplotypes sometimes include both of those, and I can recall occasions, at
least in the early days, where FTDNA's "best guess" turned out to be wrong for
I vs J. This SNP would show they're more closely related than some of the
other haplogroups under the F superhaplogroup.
