Пре неколико дана стигли су ми резултати Мт ДНК из ФТДНА. Испао сам хаплогрупа U4a. На пројекту те групе где сам од пре неки дан члан су ми предвидели да сам највероватније U4a2a.
The mitochondrial super-haplogroup U encompasses haplogroups U1-U8 and haplogroup K. Haplogroup U4 has its origin in the Upper Palaeolithic, dating to approximately 25,000 years ago. It is widely distributed in Europe, and has been implicated in the expansion of modern humans into Europe occurring before the Last Glacial Maximum. Haplogroup U4 (Ulrike) is a small Indo-European haplogroup that is particularly prevalent in Finland and Russia. It is found at low frequencies throughout Europe, North America and Asia. U4 is divided into four main subclades: U4a, U4b, U4c and U4d. Each subclade has numerous branches. U4 is an ancient mitochondrial haplogroup and is relatively rare in modern populations. U4 is found in Europe with highest concentrations in Scandinavia and the Baltic states and is found in the Sami population of the Scandinavian peninsula (although, U5b has a higher representation).
U4 is also associated with the remnants of ancient European hunting-gatherers preserved in the indigenous populations of Siberia. U4 is found in Nganasans, the indigenous inhabitants of the Taimyr Peninsula, in the Mansi (16.3%), an endangered people, and in the Ket people (28.9%) of the Yenisey River. U4 is also preserved in the Kalash people (current population size 3,700) a unique tribe among the Indo-Aryan peoples of Pakistan where U4 (subclade U4a1) attains its highest frequency of 34%.
Haplogroup U4 is associated with ancient European hunter-gatherers and has been found in 7,200 to 6,000-year-old remains of the Pitted Ware culture in Gotland, Sweden, and in 4,400 to 3,800-year-old remains from the Damsbo site of the Danish Bell-Beaker culture. Remains identified as subclade U4a2 are associated with the Battle Axe culture which flourished 5,200 to 4,300 years ago in eastern and central Europe and encompassed most of continental northern Europe from the Volga River in the east to the Rhine River in the west. Mitochondrial DNA recovered from 3,500 to 3,300-year-old remains at the Bredtoftegård site in Denmark associated with the Nordic Bronze Age include haplogroup U4 with 16179T in its HVR1 indicative of subclade U4c1.
