Overlap Between Y-haplogroups and Mt-haplogroups
The ranges of specific y-haplogroups and specific mt-haplogroups overlap, indicating populations that have a specific combination of a y-haplogroup and an mt-haplogroup. Y mutations and mt mutations do not necessarily occur at a similar time, and differential rates of sexual selection between the two genders combined with founder effect and genetic drift can alter the haplogroup composition of a population, so the overlaps are only rough.
The very rough overlaps between Y-DNA haplogroups and mtDNA haplogroups are as follows:
| Y-DNA haplogroup(s) | mtDNA haplogroup(s) | Geographical area and/or peoples |
|---|---|---|
| A | L0 | Eastern and Southern Africa |
| B | L1, L4 | Eastern and Middle Africa |
| E | L2, L3 | Africa wide |
| D, O, N, C3 | CZ/C/Z, D, G (M types); A, N9/Y (N types); B, F (R types) | East Asia, Siberia |
| K, M (M9-positive, M45-negative) | B, P (R types); N; Q (M type) as well as various Oceanian-specific M subclades | Oceania |
| R, I, T, J, E (V13, M81, and M123 types) | R0, HV/H/V, JT/J/T, U/K (R types) | Europe, West Asia, North Africa, Horn of Africa |
| Q, C3 | A, X (N types); C, D (M types) | Easternmost Siberia, the Americas |

Famous quotes containing the word overlap:
“A lady is nothing very specific. One man’s lady is another man’s woman; sometimes, one man’s lady is another man’s wife. Definitions overlap but they almost never coincide.”
—Russell Lynes (b. 1910)
