Distribution maps of mitochondrial haplogroups in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa

Introduction

The maps on this page represents the distribution of Human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups. A mtDNA haplogroup is a group of people sharing the same series of mutations on their mitochondrial genome, which they inherited from a long line of common maternal ancestors. Mutations occasionally happen on the mtDNA sequence and are inherited by all the descendants of the woman carrying the new mutation. This permits to retrace the genealogical tree of humanity with great accuracy and see patterns in the distribution of shared historical lineages. Most major haplogroups are tens of thousands of years old, typically going back to the Paleolithic, Mesolithic or Neolithic. Deeper subclades give a view of more recent lineages, some as recent as a few centuries ago. The following maps were compiled with all the latest available mtDNA data for each country.
