Haplogroup H dominates present-day Western European mitochondrial DNA variability (>40%), yet was less common (~19%) among Early Neolithic farmers (~5450 BC) and virtually absent in Mesolithic ...

The Y-DNA haplogroups contain R1 and other haplogroups found primarily in European regions. Similarly, the frequencies of Haplogroup J reach their highest levels across the Middle East region.

K2b1 combines the previously known haplogroups M, S, K-P60 and K-P79, ... with sister clades Q and R is by far the most frequent haplogroup in Europe, the Americas, and Central and South Asia.

It's unclear how this haplogroup became dominant in Europe. Some scientists have proposed that it spread across the continent following a population boom after the end of the last ice age about ...

Then, at some later stage, the M haplogroup was apparently lost from Europe. "When the Last Glacial Maximum began around 25,000 years ago, ...

Haplogroup H dominates mtDNA variation in Europe. Today, more than 40% of Europeans belong to this genetic "clan", with frequencies much higher in the west of the continent than in the east. Image ...

This is the first ancient DNA to be obtained from Phoenician remains and the team's analysis shows that the man belonged to a rare European haplogroup -- a genetic group with a common ancestor ...

Haplogroup R1b is one of the most frequent Y chromosome haplogroups in Western Europe and it was found in 52 volunteers. Its origins are not clear, ...

The haplogroups R1a and R1b is usually associated with the Indo-European migrations and were described at the Scythes and Sarmatians. Nowadays these haplogroups together with the haplogroup E1a2a have ...

Purpose It has been hypothesised that certain mitochondrial haplogroups, which are defined by the presence of a characteristic cluster of tightly linked mitochondrial DNA polymorphisms, would be ...
