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[1].
Haplogroup DE is an estimated 65,000 years old.[2]
The majority of DE male lines can be categorized as being in either haplogroup D, which likely originated in Asia, the only place where it has been found[3], or haplogroup E, which is believed to have originated either in East Africa[4] or the Near East[5]
The remainder are said to be in the paragroup DE* confirmed cases of which are extremely rare. In a recent study of over 8000 men worldwide including 1247 Nigerians, Haplogroup DE* was observed in only 5 Nigerian males.[6]
