Haplogroup P (Y-DNA)

This article is about the human Y-DNA haplogroup. For the human mtDNA haplogroup, see Haplogroup P (mtDNA).

Haplogroup P (K2b2)
Possible time of origin44,000 to 41,000 years BP
Possible place of originSouth Asia, or Southeast Asia[1][2][3]
AncestorK2b[4]
DescendantsP-P295 (P1a, formerly P*)
P-FT292000 (P1b, formerly P3)
P-M45 (P1c, formerly P1, a.k.a. QR)
Defining mutationsP295/PF5866/S8, 92R7_1, 92R7_2, F91/PF5862/V231

Haplogroup P also known as P-F5850 or K2b2 is a Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup in human genetics. P-F5850 is a branch of K2b (previously Haplogroup MPS; P331), which is a branch of Haplogroup K2 (K-M526).

The haplogroup K2b splits into K2b1 (haplogroup MS*) and K2b2 (haplogroup P-F580, Y-DNA P*). Basal P* (P-PF5850*) is found in Southeast Asia.[5][6] The primary branches (clades) of P-F580 are P-P295 (P1a, formerly P*) which is found among South and Southeast Asians as well as Oceanians, P-FT292000 (P1b, formerly P3) with unknown distribution, and P-M45 (P1c, formerly P1) commonly found among Siberians and Central Asians.[5][7] P-M45 (P1c) is, in turn, the parent node of Haplogroup Q (Q-M242) and Haplogroup R (R-M207).

The major subclades of Haplogroups P-M45, Q and R now include most males among Europeans, Native Americans, South Asians and Central Asians.
