I find this hard to follow. Specifically, the rout to Australia appears problematic. Why is it a broken line? What does the comment "Asian: A, B, C, D, E, F, G (note: M is composed of C, D, E, and G)" imply - since the advent of indigenous Australians predates C, D, and G; Furthermore there appears to be no "E"; Indeed, my understanding was that eh DNA evidence did not link Australian aboriginals to any Asian sample, but only to Africa.

[edit] Questions about the human mtDNA Migration map

The map of human mtDNA migration (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Human_mtDNA_migration.png) shows a line from northern Scandinavia to North America about 15000 years ago. That sounds really interesting. What findings or studies do this map refer to and where do the map come from? I would welcome any information on this topic. Aprerogative 09:50, 14 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I think the map creator was referring to the so-called "Solutrean Hypothesis", which is not generally accepted (yet, anyway). AFAIK, this hypothesis posits migration from prehistoric France to North America by some means. The evidence for this is:
  1. some resemblance between Solutrean arrowheads in France and those in North America at the same time.
  2. The presence of mitochondrial haplogroup X in Europe and the Americas. It isn't present in any large quantity in Asia, apparently, which is quite odd given that that's the supposed departure point to the Americas.
See Haplogroup X (mtDNA)#North_America for more info. There is a reference cited to some paper which may also be important. --Saforrest 07:47, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Subclades

There needs to be more information on current statistical origins and spread of the particular subclades within each of the clade articles pages of both Y haplogroups & mt haplogroups. Nagelfar 00:49, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Haplogroup F* (Y-DNA)

Can someone clarify if this is a typo in Human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroups: "Groups descended from Haplogroup F*" include "Haplogroup F", which had no wikilink. Shouldn't it be the other way round? According to the phylogenetic tree, the * means there are no downstream markers, but Haplogroup F* (Y-DNA) shows 7 descendant haplogroups. I've changed the link on Haplogroup F to Haplogroup F* (Y-DNA), but if anyone thinks this is not correct please could you say so here. apers0n 09:18, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Haplogroup F should be included in the list of Groups with Mutation M168 --Eddylyons 20:18, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
  • According to the haplotree, there is an F* and an F1. Would both those be descended from F?-- Reinyday, 20:32, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
