This is a purported list of ancient humans remains, including mummies, that may have been DNA tested. Provided as evidence of the testing are links to the mitochondrial DNA sequences, and/or to the human haplogroups to which each case has been assigned. Also provided is a brief description of when and where they lived.
A wide range of mtDNA haplogroups was found including clades of J, U, H, HV, M, R0, R2, K, T, L, I, N, X and W. In addition three ancient Egyptian individuals were analysed for Y-DNA, two were assigned to Middle Eastern haplogroup J and one to haplogroup E1b1b1a1b2.
Two males, known as KAR6 (or I0795) and KAR16a (I0797), have been of great interest to scholars as the subject of successful Y-DNA analysis. Both have been found to belong to subclades of Y-DNA Haplogroup T1a1, [4] which is rare in modern populations. These ancient specimens' mtDNA haplogroups have been found to be H1* (H1au1b) and H46b.
The Neanderthal DNA found in modern human genomes has long raised questions about ancient interbreeding. New studies offer a timeline of when that occurred and when ancient humans left Africa.
Distribution of Haplogroup J (Y-DNA) J-M267 (J1) is the second most common Y chromosome haplogroup in North Africa. It originated in the Middle East, and its highest frequency of 30%–62.5% has been observed in Arab, Assyrians, Mandean, Mizrahi and Georgian populations in Western Asia and south Caucasus. [20]
H was also found in some ancient samples of Europe and is still found today at a low frequency in certain southeastern Europeans and Arabs of the Levant. Haplogroup H is frequently found among populations of India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan and the Maldives. All three branches of Haplogroup H (Y-DNA) are found in South Asia.
Ancient DNA (aDNA) is DNA isolated from ancient sources (typically specimens, but also environmental DNA). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Due to degradation processes (including cross-linking , deamination and fragmentation ) [ 3 ] ancient DNA is more degraded in comparison with contemporary genetic material. [ 4 ]
