Got my Maternal Haplogroup back

[Oceanicpuppy]

your maternal haplogroup is L1c2.
As our ancestors ventured out of eastern Africa, they branched off in diverse groups that crossed and recrossed the globe over tens of thousands of years. Some of their migrations can be traced through haplogroups, families of lineages that descend from a common ancestor. Your maternal haplogroup can reveal the path followed by the women of your maternal line.
Origin and Migrations of Haplogroup L1c

Haplogroup L1c originated about 78,000 years ago, most likely in western-central Africa. Today, it is particularly common among the Bantu-speaking populations of central Africa and the forest-dwelling Pygmies. The ancestral population of these two groups probably diverged about 60,000 to 70,000 years ago as the climate became drier and the African rainforest fragmented. When the forest fragmented, the population split and each subsequently developed unique branches of L1c.

While L1c is relatively rare in Africa outside its region of origin, a few different L1c branches have participated in several migrations throughout the continent. Caught up in the expansion of Bantu-speaking farmers about 3,000 years ago, members of L1c have trickled down both the western and eastern coasts into southern Africa. Their maternal lines have also expanded from Cameroon with Bantu-speaking populations traveling northwest through Mali and into far western Africa. But the most dramatic migration has been the passage of L1c individuals across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas during the slave trading era of the 16th-19th centuries.

Your maternal haplogroup, L1c2, traces back to a woman who lived approximately 38,000 years ago.
That's nearly 1520 generations ago! What happened between then and now? As researchers and citizen scientists discover more about your haplogroup, new details may be added to the story of your maternal line.

• Haplogroup L1c reaches its highest frequencies in West and Central Africa, notably among the Mbenga Pygmy peoples. (see map).[7] Among the Mbenga, it is carried by 100% of Ba-Kola, 97% of Ba-Benzélé, and 77% of Biaka.[8] Other populations in which L1c is particularly prevalent include the Tikar (100%), Baka people from Gabon (97%) and Cameroon (90%),[9] the Bakoya (97%), and the Ba-Bongo (82%).[7] Common also in São Tomé (20%) and Angola (16-24%).[10]

If you have a male sibling ask him to take a paternal test or your father that way you can know your paternal lineage.

So



















You're black?

So



















You're black?

What do you mean?

Alot of people on the coli know I am black.

So



















You're black?

But WHICH "black" does she descend from?

I took it for wegene and my paternal haplogroup came back

I'm not knowledgeable about genetics so isk what all this means aside that you're from Africa

 

[Black Haven]

What was it?

It was
R1b1a1a2a1a1c2b and it is found to originate in middle Asia, south asia, and ,europe my maternal haplogroup is
L1'2'3'4'5'6 which originates in middle Africa to west Africa

You might want to test at 23 and me or familytreedna to find your haplogroup.

Wegene gives generic haplogroups. L1'2'3'5'6 isnt really one haplogroup it's a summary collection of macro haplogroup L.

In human mitochondrial genetics, L is the mitochondrial DNA macro-haplogroup that is at the root of the human mtDNA phylogenetic tree. As such, it represents the most ancestral mitochondrial lineage of all currently living modern humans.

Macro-haplogroup L's origin is connected with Mitochondrial Eve, and thus, is believed to suggest an ultimate African origin of modern humans. Its major sub-clades include L0, L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 and L6, with all non-Africans exclusively descended from just haplogroup L3.

My bad its haplogroup L1 and haplogroup R. I should've been more specific but I'm thinking about testing with 23andme anyways.

your paternal haplogroup is E-P252.
As our ancestors ventured out of eastern Africa, they branched off in diverse groups that crossed and recrossed the globe over tens of thousands of years. Some of their migrations can be traced through haplogroups, families of lineages that descend from a common ancestor. Your paternal haplogroup can reveal the path followed by the men of your paternal line.

Years Ago
Origin and Migrations of Haplogroup E-M180
Your paternal line stems from the E-M180 branch of E, which dominates south of the Sahara. The haplogroup originated about 17,000 years ago in the pockets of western Africa that were habitable at the time, when much of the continent was extremely dry due to Ice Age climate conditions.Over ten thousand years later, men bearing haplogroup E-M180 migrated throughout sub-Saharan Africa, spurred by the dvelopment of agriculture and iron-working in the region.

E-M180 is most common today among speakers of Bantu languages and those related to them; it reaches levels of up to 90% among the the Mandinka and Yoruba of western Africa, where the migrations began. Farther from their origin, E-M180 reaches frequencies of 50% or higher in the Hutu, Sukuma, Herero, and !Xhosa. The lineage is also the most common haplogroup among African-American male individuals. About 60% of African-American men fall into this haplogroup primarily due to the Atlantic slave trade, which drew individuals from western Africa and Mozambique, where E-M180 accounts for the majority of men.


E-P252

Your paternal haplogroup, E-P252, traces back to a man who lived approximately 12,000 years ago.

Today
E-P252 is relatively common among 23andMe customers.
Today, you share your haplogroup with all the men who are paternal-line descendants of the common ancestor of E-P252, including other 23andMe customers.

Looks East African.
