Mitochondrial DNA is responsible for energy production in cells. If Mt Hg U is European paleolithic one, existed in Europe during Ice Age, it would make sense to conclude that it was the best haplogroup to have for cold climate. Theoretically it produces more energy, body heat, than others especially the once which showed up in Europe when climate warmed up a lot during Neolithic.
My observation: My wife is U5a and she is more comfortable than I (H1c) in colder temperatures. I love summer and hate winter, she likes spring and fall the best and she doesn't mind winters. Counterintuitively though, she likes basking in the sun. I like hot days but I stay in shade anytime I can. However it makes evolutionary sense, mt U people of Northern Hemisphere would like to suntan to use short summer to produce vitamin D3 for the whole year, and people like Southern farmers mt H would avoid sun, not to get a skin cancer.
I wonder what is your experiences with climate or weather regarding your Mt haplogroup.
What is your Mt Hg?
1. Do you prefer colder days? Do you mind winters? Are you happier when weather cools down spring/fall?
2. Do you like to suntan? (You need to honestly like, not just do it for a nice tan, nice look)
3. Do you prefer summers to any other time of year? (You don't sweat below +25C, when doing nothing)
4. Do you like hot days but only in shade.
My wife: U5a
1. Yes
2. Yes
3. No
4. No
LeBrok: H1c
1. no
2. no
3. yes
4. yes
I also wonder, if indeed Mt U produces more energy than other Hgs, is it true for all subclades of U or only for some?
