More Eupedia mtDNA maps U4, U3, and U2

[Fire Haired]

Hey, another one! My grandfather's mtDNA is U4a1b. Tried to found more information about this haplogroup but it seems a pretty rare one..

*Oh wait, he is U4a2b, not 1....

I had no idea what Y DNA and mtDNA haplogroup your grandfather has. There are millions and millions of people today and there have been billions in history who have Y DNA R and mtDNA U.

It was not a random statement but a respons to Unome's question. No need to be a douch, dude.

Sorry.

You and I probably have lineages from Mesolithic central-west Europe. The Y DNA haplogroups of Loschbour, Motola12, and La Brana-1 combined are close to non existent(around 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% at the most) in north-central-west Europe today and anywhere in Europe. The mtDNA of Mesolithic north-central-Europe survived I guess pretty well maybe above 5% or even as high as 10%. Y DNA I2a1, I2a2, and I1 all may have all originated in north-central-west Europe though.

Has La Brana's Y-DNA been confirmed as being C-V20 now?

I wonder where my U5a1 came from, group seems to have been generally more in the east during the Mesolithic, but then by the Neolithic it's as far away as Spain as well.

I think it is probably safe to say that your mtDNA line was probably in Eastern Europe during the Mesolithic.

Has La Brana's Y-DNA been confirmed as being C-V20 now?

No, but his paper is suppose to be out by next Monday so the 27th.
