region that was covered by ice or tundra in the last ice age

Numbers represent thousand of years before present The letters are the mitochondrial DNA haplogroups (pure motherly lineages); Haplogroups can be used to define genetic populations and are often geographically orientated. For example, the following are common divisions for mtDNA haplogroups:

  • General European: H, V
  • Southern European: J, K
  • Northern European: T, U, X
  • Near Eastern: J, N
  • African: L, L1, L2, L3, L3*
  • Asian: A, B, C, D, E, F, G (note: M is composed of C, D, E, and G)
  • Native American: A, B, C, D, and sometimes X

Map of human races migration, according to the mitochondrial DNA. Number represent thousand years before present time. The blue line represents area covered in ice or tundra during the last great ice age.

All migration data based on mitomap. Geographic data from [1]

and adding the following data [2] we get this interesting result [3]

I ignored all data I could not understand (for example the +/- and the letters). If someone explains to me what that was and why this is important I´ll be glad to add them.

The letters are the haplogroups; the +/- refer to mtDNA polymorphisms at two locations. Noisy | Talk 10:59, August 6, 2005 (UTC)
