My FTDNA mtDNA haplogroup is here

[Kamal900]

And here's my results:

Haplogroup - U3

Your Origin:

The mitochondrial super-haplogroup U encompasses haplogroups U1-U8 and haplogroup K. Haplogroup U3 is found distributed throughout Europe, appearing, for example, in higher frequencies in Sweden, Georgia, and Bulgaria, and is estimated to have originated more than 12,000 years ago. A sublineage of haplogroup U3 is found distributed in southeast Europe, and it has been suggested that this lineage was part of the Neolithic expansion bringing agriculture to Europe from the Near East.

What do you guys think? I'm a maternally of Balkan origins or something?

[Sockorer]

Clearly ancient Aryan blood flows through your veins.

[Sikeliot]

Clearly ancient Aryan blood flows through your veins.

Or the reverse. Middle Eastern in Europeans.

Lol, but im serious, is it a south-eastern european Haplogroup? If it is then which ethnic group has the highest frequency of U3?

[Sockorer]

I don't know anything about the haplogroup. So I can't help you. :(

[Plague Doctor]

And y-dna?

[Sikeliot]

It's prevalent throughout Europe but Sweden seems to have a high frequency.

[Kamal900]

It's prevalent throughout Europe but Sweden seems to have a high frequency.

Whats your opinion about my maternal origins? I mean, is it possible that i have ancestry coming from south-east Europe since i do score some southern European admixture in my autosomal DNA?

[Kamal900]

And y-dna?

I haven't done the test yet due to expenses and all, but ill do that later.

[Black Wolf]

Your mtDNA is native to the Near East. It's presence in Europe is related to Neolithic farmers who spread to Europe from the Near East. You are not European.

That's really awesome, lol. :thumb001:

mtDNA haplogroup U3 is present in low percentages throughout Europe and Western Asia. It is an ancient haplogroup arising over 30,000 year ago from the very old haplogroup U. It rises to its greatest frequencies in the Near East and Southern Caucasus, that is the mountainous area of Western Iran, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Syria, Jordan and Iraq, where the percentages vary between 4 and 8 percent. Currently U3 can be divided into three subclades, U3a, U3b and U3c. The latter is a subclade of the original U3ac and split off from U3a 1000's of years ago. All three subclades occur in the above mentioned areas with the exception of Turkey and Armenia, where U3c appears to be absent and U3a is very rare, those countries being dominated by U3b.

In Europe U3 is still common in Bulgaria and the eastern most islands of the Mediterranean Sea, Cyprus, Rhodes, Crete, where percentages rise to 3 or 4 percent, but becomes rarer and rarer as one moves west with one exception. Again Bulgaria, the Greek mainland and Etruscan Italy are dominated by U3b, whereas the Mediterranean Islands and the rest of Italy have all three subclades.

The one exception is one sub-branch of subclade U3a called U3a1 which appears to have originated in Europe. At least at this point no instance of this clade has been observed in the Mid-East. This sub-branch dominates U3 in Western Europe especially along the Atlantic coast making up over 60% of U3 in these areas with frequencies rising to as high as 1% of the total population in Scotland and Wales and as high as 3 or 4% in Iceland.

Do you know which branch of U3 you are?

Not yet since that knowing your sub-clade is a separate test you need to take and pay after you get your haplogroup. I will take it when my big brother gets his salary this month. Is the haplogroup rare or something?

[Neon Knight]

It looks like it is quite rare and very ancient! Mine is > 15,000 years old and most common in Lebanon but also significant in Ireland and Poland. But I get it from an English line.

I would be breaching privacy if I explained this. But gilgamesh probably has an idea.

I realized it years ago. Your case helped a bit in a much more recent past.

Yes Except mine had to do with Internet trolls. This is different...

I post my results to let everyone know about my results, and i don't like being so secretive about it either.

This forum by far has the largest number of weird members for when it comes to anthro forums.

[Wael]

i knew that you are most likely to have european ancestry

you are one of the lightest Levantines i know , congratulations brother

that's a good result .

[Gaston]

His results indicate native Near Eastern ancestry, nothing European here. As for his pigmentation, it's part of the variation in the Levant (and more generally in the MENA region). In the same family, one brother can look swarthy while the other can look pale, or the parents can be dark and the children pale (or any combination).

you seems to know a lot better than me

i just saw the map , and the majority of the result are european

but you know what ?? most middle easterns dosen't know shit about dna and this kind of stuff

this is might be the reason .

[Anglojew]

Congrats on your Neolithic ancestry.

I would imagine it represents a very ancient presence of Caucasians in the Near East and Europe. I would imagine a higher percentage exists in Europe either due to Neolithic or other migrations or because they were more protected in Europe against other waves of migration than in the Near East.

Is the Rabbi Ashkenazi?

Is the presence in Ghana associated with Lebanese there?

No, but the guy from Ghana is direct descendant of king ludwig, and he has the sane exact match as i do, lol. Yes, the rabbi is an Ashkenazi jew.

[StonyArabia]

Cool results bro.

It doesnt have to do with that

[Longbowman]

Very common amongst Iraqi Jews. Very rare in other groups. True ancient Hebrew.


The study collected mtDNA from about 600 Jews and non-Jews from around the world, including 78 Ashkenazic Jews and Georgians, Uzbeks, Germans, Berbers, Ethiopians, Arabs, etc. 17.9% of sampled Iraqi Jews have an mtDNA pattern known as U3, compared to 2.6% of Ashkenazic Jews, 0.9% of Moroccan Jews, 1.7% of ethnic Berbers, 1.1% of ethnic Germans, 0.0% of Iranian Jews, 0.0% of Georgian Jews, 0.0% of Bukharian Jews, 0.0% of Yemenite Jews, 0.0% of Ethiopian Jews, 0.0% of Indian Jews, 0.0% of Syrian Arabs, 0.0% of Georgians, 0.0% of Uzbeks, 0.0% of Yemeni Arabs, 0.0% of Ethiopians, 0.0% of Asian Indians, 0.0% of Israeli Arabs. (According to Vincent Macaulay, U3 is found also among some Turks, Iraqis, Caucasus tribes, Alpine Europeans, North Central Europeans, Kurds, Azerbaijanis, Eastern Mediterranean Europeans, Central Mediterranean Europeans, Western Mediterranean Europeans, and southeastern Europeans.)

[Yuffayur]

U3 peaks in Jordan, near the Dead sea, it's quite common in Levant (except Druze), Anatolia, Iran, Caucasus and Egypt, and it's not rare in any North African /west Eurasian (1 to 10%) country we are distant Cousins (I'm U6).

wainting for your Y-DNA, I think you might be a G, you look like G carrier.

[Yuffayur]

Plot twist:
Mozabites have 10.59% U3 just after U6 (27.06%) and HV (22.35%)

[Highlands]

Interesting that mtDNA U3 was also found in Bronze Age Thracian samples.usually common in Black Sea region :)

From Dienekes blog:

"We were able to tentatively call mtDNA haplogroups for these samples (Table S1). The two Bulgarian Iron Age individuals (P192-1 and T2G5) fell into haplogroups U3b and HV(16311), respectively. Haplogroup U3 is especially common in the countries surrounding the Black Sea, including Bulgaria, and in the Near East, and HV is also found at low frequencies in Europe and peaks in the Near East."

It looks like we are, lol. How common is U3 in places like Egypt?

[Yuffayur]

0% to 11%

[Era]

Do they tell you the y-dna when doing this? Or just the mtdna?

[Kamal900]

Each test is separately purchased, and i only did the Autosomal and mtDNA test. I'll do the Y-DNA one later.

Funny how you have a match in Ghana of all places.

[Kamal900]

Yeah, and strangely, he is a descendant of King Ludwig of Bavaria.

[Longbowman]

Self reported ancestry, gentlemen.

[Kamal900]

Self reported ancestry, gentlemen.

What?

[Longbowman]

What?

Someone saying they're Ghanaian doesn't make it true. It could also be that they live there as an expat.

[Voskos]

so you're basically a Judaean/Canaanite

[Enflamme]

so you're basically a Judaean/Canaanite

Or a European.


A ancien European from the Levant! Cool!

Welcome to the European family!

Most likely it's an indigenous Levantine haplogroup. I don't know my exact subclade yet.
