The Rh Negative Blog

Who were the Proto-Basques genetically speaking?

…and what percentage was Rh-?

Y-DNA I2a was frequent among them.

So was to an extent G2a (Caucasus origin).

R1b was invasion/replacement-based.

When it comes to mtDNA, Haplogroups K and J stand out.

Could this indicate Sumerian ancestry within the Basque?

MtDNA haplogroup V showed up at a later time.and connects the Basques, Berbers, Sami of Lapland and the Guanches of the Canary islands.
