DNA Haplogroups breakdown
quick Haplogroup summaries (these are summaries and not meant to be a complete description of each)
Haplogroup A is found mainly among the Khoi-San people of Africa , as well as in Sudan(specifically Nilotic Tribes in South Sudan) , and at small amounts throughout Africa .
Haplogroup B is found mainly among Pygmy and Hadzabe populations in Africa and interesting up to 50 % of the Nuer people of Sudan which is another Nilotic Language group.
Haplogroup DE is honestly an imagined Haplogroup due to Hap D and Hap E being YAP + they are the first example of "twin" groups so to speak in that a person could test DE and would later be found to be either D or E.
Haplogroup D is found mainly among Tibetans , some Japanese , and the Andaman Islanders
Haplogroup E is a majority of Africans , African Americans , Semetic peoples (North Africans , middle East) , as well as some in the Mediternean World and Europe
Haplogroup C is a real diverse Haplogroup as it makes up a good percentage of Mongols , Ainu , Na-Dene Amerindians , some other Amerindians , Australian Aborigines , also some found in India , Southeast Asia , China , and Polynesia
Haplogroup F is almost non-existant on it's own , but has been found in the Lahu people of China , as well as obscure traces throughout Eurasia and Oceania
Haplogroup G is found mainly among the Caucasians but also in Europe
Haplogroup H is found in the Roma people of Europe and India as well as traces throughout south Asia
Haplogroup I is almost exclusive to Europe and is closely related to Haplogroup J
Haplogroup J is found throughout the Mediternean world and in India , it mainly seems to be the haplogroup of Semitic peoples
Haplogroup K can be found in Polynesia and among Australian Aborigines
Haplogroup L is found mainly in India , among Dravidian peoples , but also among Aryans of India
Haplogroup T is widespread being found in South Europe , Egypt , Middle East , and India , this is the group that was believed to be the Phoenician group.
Haplogroup M is found in Melanesia
Haplogroup N is found for the most part among Uralic speaking peoples in North Eurasia
Haplogroup O is found among Han Chinese , East Asians , Austro-Asian speakers , Austronesian speakers
Haplogroup P is like Haplogroup DE in that it is kind of a "fake" group as it's members are really either Q or R
Haplogroup Q is the Amerindian Haplogroup in the main , also found in Siberia and Scandinavia
Haplogroup R is the Indo-European Haplogroup and it has been found in every continent of the World
Haplogroup S is found in Melanesia
