Is mtdna U connected to prehistoric hunter/gatherers in Europe?

I expected an H but more H1 or H3 and I end up with H7.

Only some mtdna U clades and subclades. There were other non-U mtdna too.

Well about 80% of lineages in Europe from the period that have been found in aDNA are U5 & U4 if i remember correctly.

The U2, U4 and U5 subclades of U certainly are.

An 8 word answer. Not even a paragraph!

And no lengthy discussion either. I see now how important (or not) we are in the bigger scheme of things.

Well to be honest I think it is simply because there has not been much research done on your haplogroup. Also not much has been found in any ancient remains yet.

Precisely! We aren't important. And there aren't enough of us for anyone else to care!
