All I have access to is that all M223+ participants (>30) are positive for
Z77. In FTDNA database none of M223- have tested. I agree that Z77 may be
phyloequivalent to M223, but without further knowledge one can not exclude
that Z77 actually is ancestral to M223. But You are right that if 1000
Genomes has shown that all M223- also are Z77- then Z77 is not ancestral,
but where do I find that information?
