*****SO FAR FROM MY MATERNAL SIDE**** Your Mothers Line Along your mothers line, you have ancestry in Europe/the Near East in the past few hundred years, that traces back to eastern Africa around 50,000 years ago. U5b1b1b is a subgroup of U5 Locations of haplogroup U5 before the widespread migrations of the past few hundred years. Maternal haplogroups are families of mitochondrial DNA types that all trace back to a single mutation at a specific place and time. By looking at the geographic distribution of mtDNA types, we learn how our ancient female ancestors migrated throughout the world. Haplogroup: U5, a subgroup of R Age: 40,000 years Region: Europe, Near East, North Africa Example Populations: Basques, Saami (Lapps) of northern Scandinavia Highlight: Though primarily a European haplogroup, U5 was recently found in mitochondrial DNA extracted from the remains of a 6th-century AD Chinese chieftain Neanderthal.Deborah Donnelly (you)2.6% 31st percentile The 9% of Europeans who carry the U5 haplogroup today can trace their maternal ancestry directly back to those early colonizers of Europe. The haplogroup is especially common among the Basque, whose unique language is thought to be descended from that of the first Europeans. Branches of U5 Haplogroup U5 has two primary branches, U5a and U5b, that appear to have arisen around the time that mile-thick glaciers covered the northern half of Europe. During that period humans were confined to small enclaves in the southern part of the continent, where both U5a and U5b differentiated into even more haplogroups.
