In human genetics, Haplogroup S is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup found only in Australia. It is a descendant of macrohaplogroup N.

Map of Haplogroup S mtDNA

Origin

Haplogroup S mtDNA evolved within Australia between 64,000 and 40,000 years ago (51 kya).[2]

Distribution

It is found in Aboriginal Australians.[3] Haplogroup S2 found in Willandra Lakes human remain WLH4 dated back Late Holocene (3,000-500 years ago).[4][5]

Subclades

Tree

This phylogenetic tree of haplogroup S subclades is based on the paper by Mannis van Oven and Manfred Kayser Updated comprehensive phylogenetic tree of global human mitochondrial DNA variation[1] and subsequent published research. The TMRCA for haplogroup S is between 49 and 51 KYA according to Nano Nagle's Aboriginal Australian mitochondrial genome variation – an increased understanding of population antiquity and diversity publication that published in 2017.[2]
