A 2003 study was published reporting on the mtDNA sequencing of the bones of two 24,000-year-old anatomically modern humans of the Cro-Magnon type from southern Italy.
[11] Haplogroup HV has also been found among ancient Egyptian mummies excavated at the Abusir el-Meleq archaeological site in Middle Egypt, which date from the Pre-Ptolemaic/late New Kingdom, Ptolemaic, and Roman periods.
[13] This phylogenetic tree of haplogroup HV subclades is based on the paper by van Oven (2009)[3] and Malyarchuk et al. (2008).
The percentage of people that tested positive for the above mutation in a study of western European populations in 2002 is given below.
[19] This mutation has been detected in ancient DNA obtained from one of nineteen human remains excavated on the island of Gotland, Sweden, dated to 2,800-2,000 BC and archaeologically classified as belonging to the Pitted Ware culture.
