Haplogroup HV (mtDNA)

From Ask in Wiki

Template:Infobox haplogroup In human genetics, Haplogroup HV is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup.

Haplogroup HV is believed to have expanded throughout Europe 20,000 years before present, before the advent of farming in Europe. Today, it is most common in Western Europe (and descendant populations).

Haplogroup HV derives from the Haplogroup pre-HV (which in turn derives from haplogroup R). HV is also the ancestral haplogroup to Haplogroup H and Haplogroup V.

A 2003 study reporting on the mtDNA sequencing of the bones of two 24,000-year-old anatomically modern humans of the Cro-Magnon type from Southern Italy. The study showed one was of either haplogroup HV or pre-HV.[1]
