R-Z305 is a downstream division of R-Z156 and represents an important lineage tied to early central and northern European Bronze Age societies. Z305 underwent sustained growth during the transition into the Iron Age and appears in archaeological and genetic contexts associated with ancestral Germanic populations.
Frequently observed in Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark, with noticeable presence in England due to Anglo Saxon migrations. Smaller clusters occur across central Europe and Scandinavia.
R-Z305 branches into additional clusters such as R-Z307 and R-Z304 related nodes. Its structure reflects Bronze and Iron Age expansions across the North European Plain.
Z305 is valuable for identifying paternal ancestries connected with continental Germanic tribal groups.
