Judging from what I've read, within Europe, Haplogroup C3 is most frequent among the population of Pfalz (the Rhineland Palatinate) and Baden-Württemberg in southwestern Germany. It has also been detected among the Pennsylvania Dutch in North America, even among those who have no known Native American ancestry. Why should this typically Mongolian haplogroup pop up among males of southwestern Germany while being nearly undetectable among the populations of the rest of Europe?
[edit] By a mixing?
"C3 may have formed by a mixing of them or could have arisen from an independent origin." How could a haplogroup, by its very nature as haploid DNA, form from a mixing of other haplogroups? Sure it may have existed parallel to similar clades, but all haplogroups have a single origin. Nagelfar 20:05, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
