mtDNA Haplogroup U Types Among Pre-Historic Eurasian Hunter-Gatherers

[Black Wolf]

I have thought about this a bit more with the recent results of more stone age hunter-gatherers from Sweden. Their mtDNA haplogroups were all U types again and their autosomal DNA was again very similar to that of La Brana and Lochsbour.

It is now established knowledge that European hunter gatherers were a very uniform population autosomally and maternally, and were largely descended of people who had lived in Europe before the last ice age.

I wonder if the shared autosomal ancestry among the European hunter-gatherers related mainly to them being pretty much all mtDNA haplogroup U types such as U5, U4, and U2e? On the Y-DNA side most seem to be I2a and La Brana is C.

I suppose we can also add U6 expansions into and from North Africa to this as North Africa is very Eurasian genetically.

A few new ones that both belong to U5b.

Croatia Vela Spila/Island Korčula 6080-6020 BC: U5b2a5

Poland Janisławice 6000 BC: U5b1b

U1a3 here

[Black Wolf]

U3a1 here

U3a1 or U1a3?

[Pjeter Pan]

U3a1 or U1a3?

U1a3 sorry

U1a3 sorry

Your maternal line ancestor was probably a Neolithic farmer or a later migrant to Europe.
