Haplogroup P (mtDNA)

In human mitochondrial genetics, Haplogroup P is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup.

Origin

Haplogroup P is a descendant of Haplogroup R.

Distribution

Today, P is most commonly found in Oceania, especially in Papuans, Melanesians, indigenous Australians, It's 1.4% in mainstream Filipinos but 1.13% in Luzon, 1.78% in Visayas, 1.43% in Mindanao.

It is also found in the Malaysians at 0.9%, including Indonesians.
