What are Native American mitochondrial haplogroup(s)?

Native American mitochondrial haplogroups primarily belong to the broader haplogroup category A, B, C, and D. These haplogroups represent the maternal lineages that were carried by the early ancestors of Native Americans who migrated from Siberia to the Americas via the Bering Land Bridge. Haplogroups A, B, C, and D are part of the larger macrohaplogroups M and N, which originated in Asia. These lineages are found throughout indigenous populations in North, Central, and South America, providing evidence of the migration and settlement patterns of the first people to populate the Americas.

The mitochondrial haplogroups A, B, C, and D found in Native American populations belong to the even broader categories of M and N. Specifically, haplogroups C and D are subclades of macrohaplogroup M, while haplogroups A and B are subclades of macrohaplogroup N. These two macrohaplogroups (M and N) represent some of the earliest human migrations out of Africa, with their descendants spreading into Asia and eventually reaching the Americas through the Bering Land Bridge. Thus, Native American haplogroups A, B, C, and D can be traced back to these ancient, broader genetic lineages.
