List of haplogroups of historic people

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

This is a list of haplogroups of historic people. Haplogroups can be determined from the remains of historical figures, or derived from genealogical DNA tests of people who trace their direct maternal or paternal ancestry to a noted historical figure. Some contemporary notable figures have made their test results public in the course of news programs about this topic, and they may be included in this list too.

Contents

mtDNA[edit]

MtDNA results come from historical persons whose mitochondrial DNA has been tested; it identifies direct maternal ancestry, which is just one line out of many.

Ancient samples[edit]

These are results from ancient samples of the person or reputed remains of the person. Because mtDNA breaks down more slowly than nuclear DNA, it is often possible to obtain mtDNA results where other testing fails.

Petrarch[edit]

The supposed remains of Francesco Petrarca were tested for DNA in 2003.[1]

Name mitochondrial DNA sequence Haplogroup
body attributed to Petrarch 16126C, 16193T, 16311C J2

Ötzi the Iceman[edit]

Analysis of the mtDNA of Ötzi the Iceman, the frozen mummy from 3300 BC found on the Austrian-Italian border, has shown that Ötzi belongs to the K1 subclade. His mtDNA cannot be categorized into any of the three modern branches of that subclade (K1a, K1b or K1c). The new subclade has preliminarily been named K1ö for Ötzi.[2]

Mummy Juanita[edit]

The mummy "Juanita" of Peru, also called the "Ice Maiden", has been shown to belong to mitochondrial haplogroup A.[3][4]

"Markina Gora skeleton"[edit]

Analysis of mtDNA from the "Markina Gora" skeleton, an early modern human (EMH) male who was interred approximately 30,000 years ago, at Markina Gora (also known as "Kostenki 14"), near Kostyonki, Voronezh Oblast on the River Don in Russia, has shown that it belongs to the U2 subclade.[5][6]

The Cheddar Man[edit]

The skeleton excavated from the Cheddar Gorge is in haplogroup U5a. The Cheddar Man is the nickname for the ancient human remains found in Cheddar Gorge; his approximate date of death was 7150 BCE.

Name mitochondrial DNA sequence Haplogroup
Cheddar Man 16192T, 16270T U5a

mitosearch member code: 7MRU2

Oseberg ship remains[edit]

The remains of the younger of the two women buried with the Oseberg ship was tested and discovered to have mtDNA of U7.[7]

Name mitochondrial DNA sequence Haplogroup
Young Girl N/A U7

Kennewick man[edit]

Analyzis of the 8500-year-old skeletton of the Kennewick man, found in Washington State, United States, showed that his Y-DNA haplogroup is Q-M3 and his mitochondrial DNA is X2a. This indicates that he was closely related to modern Native Americans as well as ancient europeans who carried haplogroup X. Haplogroup X distribution in North America also occupies the same areas as haplogroup R-m173, an ancient European Y-haplgroup, suggesting there was once a homogeneous European population in North America.[8]

Sweyn II of Denmark[edit]

In order to verify whether the body of a woman entombed near Sweyn II of Denmark in Roskilde Cathedral is that of his mother Estrid, mtDNA from pulp of teeth from each of the two bodies was extracted and analysed. The king was assigned to mtDNA haplogroup H and the woman was assigned to mtDNA haplogroup H5a. Based on the observation of two HVR1 sequence differences, it was concluded that it is highly unlikely that the woman was the king's mother.[9]

Richard III of England[edit]

See also: Exhumation of Richard III of England

Richard III's mitochondrial haplotype was inferred from living descendants and then the identity of his remains confirmed through a multidisciplinary process including genetic analysis of both his mitochondrial and Y-DNA. In 2004 British historian John Ashdown-Hill traced a British-born woman living in Canada, Joy Ibsen (née Brown), who is a direct maternal line descendant of Anne of York, Duchess of Exeter, a sister of Richard III of England. Joy Ibsen's mtDNA was tested and belongs to mtDNA Haplogroup J.[10][11] Joy Ibsen died in 2008. On 4 February 2013, University of Leicester researchers announced that there was an mtDNA match between that of a skeleton exhumed in Leicester suspected of belonging to Richard III and that of Joy Ibsen's son, Michael Ibsen, and a second unnamed direct maternal line descendant.[12][13][14] They share mtDNA haplogroup J1c2c.[15][16]

Name mitochondrial DNA sequence Haplogroup
Richard III of England 16069T, 16126C, 73G, 146C, 185A, 188G, 263G, 295T, 315.1C J

Richard III the last king of the House of York and the last of the Plantagnet Dynasty - YDNA G-P287 in contrast to the Y-haplotypes of the putative modern relatives, Skeleton 1 belongs to haplogroup G-P287, with a corresponding Y-STR haplotype.[17]

Nicholas II of Russia[edit]

The last tsar of Russia, Nicholas II of Russia, was assigned to mtDNA haplogroup T, based on the following mutations: 16126C, 16169Y, 16294T, 16296T, 73G, 263G, 315.1C. His results matched those of a cousin, Count Nikolai Trubetskoy.[18][better source needed]

Deduction by descendant testing[edit]

Because mtDNA is carried through the direct female line, some researchers have identified the haplotype of historic persons by testing descendants in their direct female line. In the case of males, their mother's direct female lineage descendants are tested.

Benjamin Franklin[edit]

Doras Folger, one of Benjamin Franklin's mother's six sisters, passed on her mtDNA to her 9th-great-granddaughter, Charlene Chambers King, therefore showing Franklin to belong to haplogroup V.[19]

Name mitochondrial DNA sequence Haplogroup
Benjamin Franklin T16298C, 315.1C, 309.1C, A263G, and T72C. V

Queen Victoria[edit]

mtDNA Haplogroup H (16111T, 16357C, 263G, 315.1C): Empress Alexandra of Russia's identity was confirmed by matching her mtDNA with that of her grand-nephew, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Their common maternal ancestor, Princess Alice of the United Kingdom, and her mother, Queen Victoria, must therefore have shared this haplotype. Genealogies show that Charles II of England had the same matrilineal ancestress as Queen Victoria, an unknown mistress of Theobald I of Navarre.

Edward IV of England[edit]

Edward IV of England and his brother Richard III of England, both sons of Cecily Neville, Duchess of York, would have shared the same mtDNA haplogroup J1c2c.[15]

Bure kinship from Sweden[edit]

The male lineage of the medieval Bure kinship from Sweden has been identified as YDNA haplogroup G2a, based on several BigY tests carried out in 2014 on people living today. Descendants of two of the sons of Old Olof (who was born about 1380) were identified as G-Y12970*, and descendants of his allaged brother Fale as G-Y16788. The test results supports information written down by Johan Bure in a about 1610 a famous family book. The DNA results also disproved a branch that was later added to the family book.[20]

Non-historic figures from popular culture[edit]

The following are contemporary individuals who have had mtDNA results publicized:

Christian Cardell Corbet[edit]

The Canadian portrait artist Christian Cardell Corbet belongs to mtDNA haplogroup H.[21][22]

Name mitochondrial DNA sequence Haplogroup
Christian Cardell Corbet 16519C H

Katie Couric[edit]

During an interview with Dr. Spencer Wells of The National Geographic Genographic Project, the host Katie Couric was revealed to belong to haplogroup K.[23]

Stephen Colbert[edit]

Stephen Colbert was told by Dr Spencer Wells that he is a member of haplogroup K.[24]

Ximena Navarrete[edit]

Ximena Navarrete Miss Universe 2010, is haplogroup J. QUO, a scientific magazine, states her haplogroup survived the Pleistocene ice age, whose individuals were protected from the weather in the region known as the Franco-Cantabrian, located in northern Spain and southwestern France.[25]

Desmond Tutu[edit]

Desmond Tutu, South African activist and Christian cleric, according to a study on Southern African genetics belongs to mtDNA haplogroup L0d, a subgroup of Haplogroup L0 (mtDNA).[26]

Nelson Mandela[edit]

Nelson Mandela, former President of South Africa, belonged to mtDNA haplogroup L0d (previously known as L1d), a subgroup of Haplogroup L0 (mtDNA).[27][28][29][30]

Bono[edit]

Bono, the vocalist for the Irish rock band U2, belongs to mtDNA haplogroup V.[31][32][33]

Y-DNA[edit]

The results for Y-DNA genealogical DNA tests are either from the men themselves, or from men who have inferred paternal descent from historical figures. Scientists make the inference as a hypothesis which could be disproved or improved by future research.

Ancient samples[edit]

Tutankhamun[edit]

An academic study which included DNA profiling of some of the related male mummies of the 18th Dynasty of Egypt was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2010. Tutankhamun's Y-DNA haplogroup was not published in the academic paper,[34][35][36] however iGENEA, a Swiss personal genomics claimed to have reconstructed King Tut's Y-DNA profile based on screencaps from a Discovery Channel documentary about the study. iGENEA found that King Tut belonged to Y-DNA haplogroup R1b1a2,[37][38][39] Members of the research team that conducted the academic study published in 2010 stated they had not been consulted by iGENEA before they published the haplogroup information and described iGENEA's claims as "unscientific." [36] After pressure to publish Tutankhamun's full DNA report to confirm his Y-DNA results, the researchers refused to respond.

Ramesses III[edit]

In December 2012, a genetic study conducted by the same researchers who decoded King Tutankhamun's DNA found that Ramesses III, second Pharaoh of the Twentieth Dynasty and considered to be the last great New Kingdom king to wield any substantial authority over Egypt belonged to Y-DNA haplogroup E1b1a.[40]

Richard III of England[edit]

Richard III of England was confirmed to be haplogroup G2a.[41]

Nicholas II of Russia[edit]

Nicholas II of Russia has been predicted as having an R1b haplotype.[42][43]

Pengbo[edit]

In the Western Zhou Dynasty-era Peng Kingdom Cemetery (Jiang County, Shanxi 2800-3000YBP), 9 Q1a1-M120, 2 O2a-M95, 1 N, 4 O3a2-P201, 2 O3, 4 O* were found.[44] In another paper, the social status of those human remains of ancient Peng kingdom are analyzed. Aristocrats: 3 Q1a1 (prostrate 2, supine 1), 2 O3a (supine 2), 1 N (prostrate) / commoners : 8 Q1a1 (prostrate 4, supine 4), 3 O3a (prostrate 1, supine 2), 3 O* (supine 3) / slaves: 3 O3a, 2 O2a, 1 O*[45] The tomb of Pengbo (倗伯, Monarch of Peng Kingdom) and his wife (estimated as a princess of Zhou Dynasty) was also excavated and Pengbo is estimated as Q1a1a1(M120).

Gaodang-king Korguz (高唐王=趙王 阔里吉思)[edit]

Mongolian noble burials in the Yuan (元) Dynasty in Shuzhuanglou Site (northernmost Hebei China, 700YBP) were excavated. All 3 men excavated belong to haplogroup Q (not analysed subclade) The most principal occupant Gaodang-wang(king) Korguz (高唐王=趙王 阔里吉思)’s mtDNA is D4m2, two others mtDNA is A[46] Korguz was the son of a princess of Kublai Khan (元世祖), and he was the king of Ongud tribe, a descendant of Gok-Truk. Ongud tribe (汪古部) is a descendant of Shatou tribe (沙陀族) which was a branch of Gok-Turk and was prominent in the era of Five-dynasties and-ten-kingdoms (五代十國時代) of China. His two wives were all princesses of Yuan Dynasty. It was very important for Yuan Dynasty to maintain marriage-alliance with Ongud tribe which had been very important assistant since Genghis Kahn. About 16 princesses of Yuan Dynasty got married to kings of Ongud tribe.

Ötzi the Iceman[edit]

Ötzi the Iceman has been found to be Y-DNA haplogroup G2a2b.[47] The actual term used was G2a4, but the presumed L91 mutation has since been given a new category, G2a2b.

Birger Magnusson[edit]

Birger Jarl, the founder of Stockholm the modern capital of Sweden, according to Andreas Carlsson at The National Board of Forensic Medicine of Sweden, belonged to haplogroup I1. Birger Magnusson was the ancestor of a line of kings of both Sweden and Norway, starting with his son Valdemar Birgersson.[48]

Deduction by descendant testing[edit]

Cao Cao, the Cao Wei State of Ancient China & the Takamuko Clan of Japan[edit]

Chinese warlord Cao Cao, who was posthumously titled Emperor Wu of the state of Cao Wei, belonged to Y-DNA haplogroup O2* according to DNA tests of some documented descendants.[49][50] Ancient DNA analysis of the tooth of Cao Cao's granduncle, Cao Ding, showed that Cao Cao belonged to Y-DNA haplogroup O2*-M268.[51] The Takamuko clan of Japan claims agnatic descent from Cao Pi, who was the first Emperor of the state of Cao Wei and the eldest son of Cao Cao. This suggests that the Takamuko clan also belongs to Y-DNA haplogroup O2*. The Takamuko clan is most famous for Takamuko no Kuromaro.

Charles Darwin[edit]

Charles Darwin belonged to Haplogroup R1b, based on a sample from his great-great-grandson.[52]

Albert Einstein[edit]

Albert Einstein belonged to haplogroup E1b1b1b2* E-Z830, with a sample taken from a paternal descendant of Naphtali Hirsch Einstein.[53][54]

J. Robert Oppenheimer[edit]

According to commercial tests, other members of Oppenheimer family who share the same ancestor with J. Robert Oppenheimer(1904-1967) belong to Y-DNA haplogroup Q1b.[55] He was a famous theoretical physicist and server as the director of Los Alamos National Laboratory which developed the atomic bomb on the Manhattan Project.

Gediminas[edit]

See also: Jagiellon dynasty

As it was thought that the Lithuanian family of Gediminas or the Gediminids might ultimately belong to the Rurikid line, the same Rurikid Dynasty DNA Project sought to discover the haplogroup of their famous founder Gediminas. It was surprisingly found that while this is not precisely the case, the Gediminids also belong to the Y-DNA Haplogroup N1c1, yet of a different subclade. In fact the Gediminids and Rurikids are actually very distant cousins, sharing a common ancestor circa 2,500 years ago.[56]

Genghis Khan[edit]

Main article: Descent from Genghis Khan

DNA purported to be from Genghis Khan does not have the benefit of near and easily documented lineages. A distinct 'modal' result centers today on Mongolia.

According to Zerjal et al. (2003),[57] Genghis Khan is believed to have belonged to Haplogroup C-M130711(xC3c-M48).

Gia Long[edit]

Gia Long, who was the first emperor of the Nguyễn Dynasty of Vietnam as founded by the Nguyen-Phuoc family, may have belonged to Y-DNA haplogroup O2a according to the DNA test of one documented descendant (if paternity matches genealogy).[61] Given the sample size, however, this result cannot be regarded as conclusive and further testing of other documented descendants is necessary to help confirm or refute this finding.

Adolf Hitler[edit]

According to research published in 2004, Adolf Hitler, dictator of Germany during 1933–1945, likely belonged to Y-DNA Haplogroup E1b1b1 (E-M35), a haplogroup which originated in East Africa about 22,400 years BP.[63]

In 2010, journalist Jean-Paul Mulders and historian Marc Vermeeren publicised analysis of samples taken from 39 patrilineal relatives of Hitler, supporting the above finding and pointing out that Haplopgroup E1b1b was now common among Berbers, Somalis and Jews. Mulders contradicted interpretations of his research by some media outlets, which claimed that Hitler definitely had Jewish ancestry. Mulders commented: "I never wrote that Hitler was a Jew, or that he had a Jewish grandfather. I only wrote that Hitler's haplogroup is E1b1b, being more common among Berbers, Somalian people and Jews than among overall Germans. This, in order to convey that he was not exactly what during the Third Reich would have been called 'Aryan.' All the rest are speculations of journalists who didn't even take the trouble to read my article, although I had it translated into English especially for this purpose."[64] Family Tree DNA, the largest Y-chromosome testing organization for genealogy and ancestry purposes, with a Y-chromosome database containing close to 200,000 samples from different populations, also said that some assertions about Hitler’s ancestry, based on information released by Mulders and Vermeeren, are "highly questionable". Family Tree DNA’s Chief Y-DNA Scientist, Professor Michael Hammer said that "scientific studies as well as records from our own database[,] make it clear that one cannot reach the kind of conclusion featured in the published articles". Family Tree DNA records showed that at least 9% of the populations of Germany and Austria belonged to Haplogroup E1b1b, and about 80% of that group had no Jewish ancestry. "This data clearly show that just because one person belongs to the branch of the Y-chromosome referred to as haplogroup E1b1b, that does not mean the person is likely to be of Jewish ancestry," said Professor Hammer.

Thomas Jefferson[edit]

Main article: Jefferson DNA data

Direct male-line descendants of a cousin of United States president Thomas Jefferson were DNA tested to investigate historical assertions that Jefferson fathered children with his slave Sally Hemings.[65] An extended 17-marker haplotype was published in 2007,[66] and the company Family Tree DNA has also published results for other markers in its standard first 12-marker panel.[67] Combining these sources gives the consolidated 21-marker haplotype below. The Jeffersons belong to Haplogroup T (former K2).

King of France Louis XIV[edit]

Louis XIV of France belonged to haplogroup Haplogroup R1b (Y-DNA).[68]

Napoleon[edit]

Napoleon Bonaparte belonged to haplogroup E1b1b1c1* (E-M34*). This haplogroup has its highest concentration in Ethiopia and in the Near East (Jordan). According to the authors of the study, "Probably Napoléon also knew his remote African patrilineal origins, because Francesco Buonaparte (the Giovanni son), who was a mercenary under the orders of the Genoa Republic in Ajaccio in 1490, was nicknamed “The Maur of Sarzane”.[69]

Niall of the Nine Hostages[edit]

Main article: Niall of the Nine Hostages

A study conducted at Trinity College, Dublin,[70] found that a striking percentage of men in Ireland (and quite a few in Scotland) share the same Y chromosome. Niall established a dynasty of powerful chieftains who dominated the island for six centuries. Niall belongs to Haplogroup R1b1c7 (M222).[citation needed] It should be noted that Dr. Moore's results examined some different parts of DNA (loci) from the result given here. More recently, however, it has been determined that the emergence of R-M222 predates Niall and may be more than 2,000 years old. Therefore, not all men who belong to this haplogroup are descendants of Niall.

Somerled[edit]

Main articles: Somerled and Clann Somhairle

In 2003 Oxford University researchers traced the Y-chromosome signature of Somerled of Argyll, one of Scotland's greatest warriors, who is credited with driving out the Vikings. He was also paternal grandfather of the founder of Clan Donald. Through clan genealogies, the genetic relation was mapped out.[72] Somerled belongs to haplogroup R1a1.

In 2005 a study by Professor of Human Genetics Bryan Sykes of Oxford University led to the conclusion that Somerled has possibly 500,000 living descendants — making him the second most common historical ancestor after Genghis Khan.[73] Sykes deduced that despite Somerled's reputation for having driven out the Vikings from Scotland, Somerled's own Y-DNA most closely matched that of the Vikings he fought.
