- Haplogroup DE (Y-DNA)
In
human genetics , Haplogroup DE (M1, M145, M203) is a human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup. Haplogroup DE is the original YAP+ haplogroup [ [http://dienekes.50webs.com/blog/archives/000532.html Dienekes' Anthropology Blog] ] .Haplogroup DE is an estimated 65,000 years old. [Karafet et al.
