How common is R-M269?

More than 100 million European men carry a type called R-M269, so identifying when this genetic group spread out is vital to understanding the peopling of Europe. R-M269 is most common in western Europe, reaching frequencies of 90% or more in Spain, Ireland and Wales.

What haplogroup is R-M269?

R-M269 (also known as R1b1a2) is the most dominant subclade of R-M343 (R1b), which is itself the most common Y-DNA haplogroup in Western Europe. This haplogroup is believed to have originated about 9,500 years ago in the region of the Black Sea, and then spread to Europe very soon thereafter.

Which haplogroup is the oldest?

The oldest haplogroup is haplogroup A00. This Y-haplogroup indicates a genetic line of people older than what we call homo sapiens, or modern humans. Its age is still being estimated based on mutation rates, but 270,000 years is a close estimate (some researchers claim it could be nearer to 581,000!).

How old is haplogroup E?

Haplogroup E-V68
Possible time of origin c. 24,000 years BP
Coalescence age c. 19,900 years BP
Possible place of origin Egypt/Libya or southern Egypt/northern Sudan
Ancestor Haplogroup E-M35

What is haplogroup im223?

The third major subgroup of Haplogroup I is defined by. the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) M223, as. reported by Rootsi et al (2004). Rootsi placed I-M223. as a subgroup of I1, parallel to I1a and I1b, and named it.

What is the rarest mtDNA haplogroup?

Haplogroup X is one of rarest matrilinear haplogroups in Europe, being found only is about 1% of the overall population.

What race is R1b?

Haplogroup R1b (R-M343), previously known as Hg1 and Eu18, is a human Y-chromosome haplogroup. It is the most frequently occurring paternal lineage in Western Europe, as well as some parts of Russia (e.g. the Bashkir minority) and Central Africa (e.g. Chad and Cameroon).

When did haplogroup V first appear in Europe?

The clade is believed to have originated around 9,800 years ago in the Near East and spread all over Europe via Iberia. Haplogroup V is a relatively rare mtDNA haplogroup, occurring in around 4% of native Europeans.

Where does mtDNA haplogroup V come from?

The clade is believed to have originated around 9,800 years ago in the Near East and spread all over Europe via Iberia. Haplogroup V is a relatively rare mtDNA haplogroup, occurring in around 4% of native Europeans. Its highest concentration is among the Saami people of northern Scandinavia (~59%).

What is the phylogenetic tree of haplogroup V?

This phylogenetic tree of haplogroup V subclades is based on the paper by Mannis van Oven and Manfred Kayser Updated comprehensive phylogenetic tree of global human mitochondrial DNA variation and subsequent published research. Wikimedia Commons has media related to Haplogroup V (mtDNA).

Where are haplogroups V7 and V7 found?

Haplogroup V7 was found in representative Maykop culture samples in the excavations conducted by Alexei Rezepkin. Haplogroup V has been detected in representatives Trypil’ska and Unetice culture. Haplogroup V has also been found among Iberomaurusian specimens dating from the Epipaleolithic at the Taforalt prehistoric site 14,000 years BP.
