Haplogroup I is absent from Lapland, the Basque country and the Maghreb, three regions that share high levels of mt-haplogroups U5 and HV0/V. Haplogroup N1a, excluding the N1a1b2 subclade (i.e. haplogroup I), is even rarer, being found is less than 0.5% of the European population. ...
A detailed description of where branches of mtDNA K have been found is on the web page at https://www.eupedia.com/europe/Haplogroup_K_mtDNA.shtml That is the best place to see the frequency of mtDNA K by country. DNA testing of skeletons found in archaeological excavations is now possible...
Haplogroup HV originated at least 25,000 years ago, perhaps during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) like many other top-level haplogroups. The oldest evidence of haplogroup HV in Europe comes from the testing of a 13,000 year-old sample from La Pasiega in Cantabria (northern Spain), dating ...
ThemtDNA haplogroup Vis believed to have originated around the Western Mediterranean region, approximately 13,600 years before present - possibly on Iberia. It is found with particularly high concentrations in the Saami People of northern Scandinavia, as well as the Basque people (10.4%) and somewha...
Our samples from the Basque Country provide a valuable tool for checking the previous hypothesis, which is based on genetic data from present-day populations. In light of the available data, the most realistic scenario to explain the origin and distribution of haplogroup V suggests that the ...
Posted on 19 October, 2020 by Janice Brown If my mother was alive, she’d be 101 today. So it seemed the perfect time to write about her, and the DNA that she shared with me–haplogroup K1a4a1b,. I know she would be surprised with the findings of my matrilineal … Continue reading...
A Southwest Asian origin and dispersal to North Africa in the Early Upper Palaeolithic era has been inferred in previous studies for mtDNA haplogroups M1 and U6. Both haplogroups have been proposed to show similar geographic patterns and shared demograph

The overwhelming majority (98.4%) belonged to the three Africa-specific haplogroups L1–L3. The occurrence of L1–L3 branches in West Africa are documented by Salas et al. [43], Veeramah et al. [20] and González et al. [36] with which our data are in general accordance. However, ...
