This article: (Distribution of European mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups by region in percentage) States the following lie : Spain has an amazingly large percentage of "other" haplogroups (23%). About half of them are of probable Native American origin (A, B, C), one quarter of African origin (L1, L2, L3), and the remaining quarter of European, Middle-Eastern or Indian origin (HV, M, N, R).
The above statement has no evidence of being true although it states (several sources were used and averages recalculated by merging the data available) the article does not cite its sources although it can be certain that its largest source is Mitosearch which I Have warned against elsewhere because a large percentage of Latin Americans can trace their direct maternal ancestry to Spain but are incorrect.
There are a number of scientific studies that disprove the first statement including
Joining the pillars of Hercules: mtDNA sequences show multidirectional gene flow in the western Mediterranean.
Mitochondrial DNA Variation of Modern Tuscans Supports the Near Eastern Origin of Etruscans
The sources above show that Spain has about 1% L (African mtDNA) which is comparable to England. And 0% Native American mtDNA
Is there anyway I can fix this mistake or notify someone who can?
