Haplogroup B is believed to have arisen in Asia some 50,000 years before present. Its ancestral haplogroup was Haplogroup R . Haplogroup B is found throughout modern Asia. Its subgroup B2 is one of five haplogroups found in the indigeneous peoples of the Americas, the others being A , C , D , and X . Since the Migration To The Americas by the ancestors of Native Americans is generally believed to have been from Siberia , it is especially surprising that Haplogroup B is the only haplogroup found in Native Americans which is ''not'' found in modern Siberia n populations. In his popular book '' The Seven Daughters Of Eve '', Bryan Sykes named the originator of this mtDNA haplogroup ''Ina''. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
