In human genetics, K2b2 (M45) or Haplogroup P is a Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup.

This haplogroup contains the patrilineal ancestors of many Europeans and almost all of the indigenous peoples of the Americas. It also contains approximately one third to two thirds of the males among various populations of Central Asia and Southern Asia, as well as among 1/3 of males in the Negritos Aeta. Different definitions of P exist. Increased phylogenic resolution has found that the P clade that makes up Q and R is just one branch of the entire P. A type of P is found in the Aeta and eastern Indonesia.

Origins

Haplogroup P is a branch of Haplogroup MNOPS, which is a branch of Haplogroup K (M9).

The descendant haplogroups of P include Q (M242) and R (M207).

Distribution

Haplogroup P is distributed commonly in Europe, Central Asia, North-East Asia.

Its highest frequency occurs among Turkic peoples of Central Asia and South Siberia (35.4% among Tuvans, 28.3% among Altaians-Kizhi).[3]

Besides the haplogroup R and haplogroup Q branches, other patrilines derived from Haplogroup P-M45 are labeled for sake of convenience as Haplogroup P-M45*. They are present at low to moderate frequency among modern South Asian populations.[4] P-M45* is most frequent among the Muslims of Manipur (33%), but this may be due to a very small sample size, 9. P* (or pre-p) is found at a frequency of 28% in the Aeta of the Philippines.[5] Most of the P in South Asia and Central Asia are probably simply unresolved cases or R2 or Q.
