mitochondrial DNA (maternal line)
Haplogroup H
The most common maternal lineage in Europe (around 40%), also frequent in the Near East and North Africa; it spread widely after the last Ice Age.
How gnomancer finds it
The mitochondrial haplogroup is called by Haplogrep3 against PhyloTree 17 from the few hundred mtDNA sites on your chip, compared with the rCRS reference. Sub-branches usually need full mitochondrial sequencing.
