Greek mtdna.

[Sikeliot]

What are the maternal haplogroup frequencies of Greece? I am asking because it would be useful in explaining where Greeks cluster genetically relative to neighboring regions.. despite West Asian affinities (and a largely Neolithic paternal gene pool), they still cluster in Europe. Is it likely that their deep maternal ancestry represents a population that is pre-Neolithic and largely shared with all other Europeans?

I would suspect that you are are aware of the site below.

To my knowledge, Eupedia uses a small sample size so I'm not too sure if it's all that reliable. However if we're going by that website then H (https://www.23andme.com/you/haplogroup/maternal/?viewgroup=H&tab=story) haplogroup is the most common with J (https://www.23andme.com/you/haplogroup/maternal/?viewgroup=J&tab=story) and U (https://www.23andme.com/you/haplogroup/maternal/?viewgroup=U&tab=story) runner ups.

My observation is that mtdna-wise, Greece and Romania have similar frequencies.
