Haplogroup A is NOT contained in Hadza from Tanzania! It is a misleading statement based on the traditional grouping of the Hadza with the Khoisan due to the presence of "clicks" in their languages. Yet the Hadza are a distinct people that genetically have nothing in common with the Khoisans. In fact, they are rather related to Pygmies. See A. Knight et al.: African Y Chromosome and mtDNA Divergence Provides Insight into the History of Click Languages. Current Biology, 6/2003, p. 464-473
Haplogroup A1, highly West-African specific, found in Yorkshire: BBC News, "Yorkshire clan linked to Africa" 27 January 2007. Might be worth looking into. --Wetman 05:52, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
