Since I got my livingdna result (U1a1a) I have been curious to learn more about U1. There doesn't seem to be much on the web since
U1 seems to be rare so far so I decided to open a thread here where I'll post what I find about the U1 branch. Whoever else finds something
or is similarly curious please add to the discussion.
First, I'll start with that LivingDna said about U1. Their map data states that its very rare except for in Dagestan where ~50% of people
are U1. I can't find any source or study that proves this nor did Livingdna provide me with a clue as to where they got this statistic
from. If true it is very significant:
Second there is the U1 mtDNA group at FTDNA: https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/u-1mt-dna/about/background
Their map is pretty scattered as you can see below:
This is a screenshot of the results linked on the map:
Here is how frequent (not very) U1 shows up in the Swedish DNA project:
And here is mtdna pie charts of the regions of Italy (from Ethnopedia). U1 only shows up in North Italy:
These are some scientific papers that mention U1 indirectly:
U1a1a has also been found in a romano-christian burial site in Egypt which you can read about in this paper or in this thread by angela: https://www.eupedia.com/forum/threads/34692-Complete-mtDna-from-Romano-Christian-burial-in-Egypt?highlight=u1a1a
