Talk:Haplogroup H (mtDNA)

Reviewing
The article is poor and it's really a pity that half of it is made up of a totally arbitrary list of celebrities who are (apparently) mtDNA H (almost half of Europeans and people of maternal European ancestry have it, please!).

So I'm going to delete that section and try to improve the rest. --Sugaar (talk) 18:11, 16 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Done. At least a noticeable improvement. --Sugaar (talk) 19:19, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Your unacceptable inaccurate changes in the article shows you trying to make us swallow syrians as supposedly H! They aren’t! H are hallopgroup of Royalty, please understand it! You are not a researcher you are just a writer! 2804:431:E7DD:49D3:3572:3083:E66:8897 (talk) 00:38, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

I don't have the article, but I've been emailed this:

Wikipedia contribution:

"The present-day variation of hg H suggests that this mtDNA clade arose outside Europe before the LGM (Torroni et al. 1998; Richards et al. 2000; Loogva¨li et al. 2004; Pereira et al. 2005). In our attempt to expose pre-LGM limbs of hg H, we have characterized here the phylogeography of H13, which is one of the most diverse sub-hgs in the Near East and the Caucasus. It has a coalescence age of about 31,000 YBP according to HVS-1 (table 1) and about 25,000 or 19,000 YBP when calculated using coding region mutations. It has a coalescence age of about 31,000 YBP according to HVS-1 (table 1) and about 25,000 or 19,000 YBP when calculated using coding region mutations..."

And on the basis of that have tagged the article copyvio, especially as it is mainly written by an editor and his/her sockpuppet who seem to have an agenda (having been busy deleting sourced stuff from articles such as Solutrean hypothesis and Pre-Siberian American Aborigines dougweller (talk) 20:52, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

"British islands" meaning what? Is this being used as a sloppy variant of the imperial "British Isles" to mean Britain and Ireland, or does it mean UK (ex N.Ireland) plus Isle of Man and the Channel Islands? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.145.165.2 (talk) 13:32, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
