What is your mtDNA Haplogroup

[Dibran]

i dont know. I never asked anyone. my HRV1 matches are mostly Finns.




I found this though, Also dont forget not every match you have did the full test.

Interesting. Yea I imagine then that it may not be accurate.

How far back is exact match?!? I haven't looked at this map in like 5 months and now I have a shit ton of red exact matches lol: Wait false alarm lol. It was just on HRV1 lol

I'm thinking to test mine only because it's so rare and unusual. What info do they provide at ftDNA (If that's where you tested) ?

H women were clearly more attractive as they are more numerous.


As for the average U woman:

Interesting,
you think haplogroup affects phenotypes and body shapes? mtDNA only contributes a small amount though but it will be cool if we can find a link between endomorph or ectomorphs etc. !
I believe thats a Venus figurine,how they interpreted a sexual figure in the paleolithic (They seem to fetishise big breasts!).

There is a theory that my haplogroup came with the Magyars to Balkans, my matches on 23andme are from Hungary and northern Serbia. According to 23andme,

Recent research suggests that during ancient times, conquering armies carried haplogroup U4 to new parts of the world. In Hungary, the haplogroup has been found at levels of 18% in DNA isolated from the 10th and 11th century tombs of Magyar conquerors who invaded the country around the turn of the 10th century. Yet U4 was nonexistent in the graves of commoners who were buried at that time, and it is present at levels of only about 4% among Hungarians today. That pattern suggests that the Magyars, who introduced their language to Hungary, were never very numerous in spite of their cultural influence. It also helps explain why Hungarians have a language that is distinct from other eastern European tongues, even though they are fairly similar to their neighbors genetically.

K1a I believe, is this common for southern Greece?

It is quite rare for southern Greece where you would meet more H, U, J and T's.

I didnt know that. I know some neolithic samples from Greece were K1a. Where is this haplogroup most commonly found today?

I believe there are many subclades of K1a specifically typical for certain territories: from Middle East up to British Isles. Technically, a native Greek from Peloponnese can be K1a, but this is not a majority nowadays. Among neighbours, Italians have it more than Greeks, as far as I know.

If you download Imported VCF file of DNA.LAND, upload to https://haplogrep.uibk.ac.at/ it will give you the mtDNA. It gave me H2a2a1 (50% prob.), don't know from where it is.

This is the Cambridge reference sequence:

This is most likely not your haplogroup, this is given by default for all.
