Haplogroup HV is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup.
- ^ Malyarchuk et al. (2008): "The main components of the middle Upper Paleolithic (26,000 YBP) were HV*, U1, possibly U2, and U4, and the main component of
early Upper Paleolithic (45,000 YBP) was mainly haplogroup U5"
- ^ Malyarchuk et al. (2008): "It has been suggested that most of the HV haplogroups presently found in Europe originated in the Near East and Caucasus region (Richards et al. 2000; Tambets et al. 2000), but there are still many questions concerning classification of haplogroups belonging to HV family."
