“…S2; Supplemental Table S3). Our data provide further support to the finding of Malyarchuk et al (2008) because we did not observe representatives of L2a1k in our collection of African sequences (n = 2426). We also searched L2a profiles carrying the diagnostic control-region variant C16218T in a large survey of African control-region sequences (>13,700), but no potential L2a1k candidates were observed.…”

“…This clade is defined by the transition A7298G. Figure 2 shows five European members of the L1b1a8 clade-three Andalusians, one Galician (present study), and one Russian (Malyarchuk et al 2008). The L1b1a8 status was investigated in the mtDNA coding region SNP data analyzed by us (M Cerezo, L Gusmão, V Č erný, A Carracedo, P Schneider, A Salas, unpubl.).…”

“…: 2.2-5.1) (Supplemental Table S2). Malyarchuk et al (2008) recently proposed that the subclade L2a1k, defined by the mutational motif G6722A-T12903C-C16218T-T16519C, could have originated in Europe ;10,300 6 5150 yr ago. We have built a maximum parsimony tree using all available L2a1 entire mtDNA sequences (Supplemental Fig.…”

“…Based on the analysis of controlregion data compiled from the literature, Malyarchuk and Czarny (2005) proposed that most of the European L-lineages might have arrived in Europe very recently, with the exception of two monophyletic clusters of L1b and L3b that could be older (no more than 6.5 thousand years ago [kya]) (Malyarchuk and Czarny 2005). In a follow-up study, the initial findings were not replicated, but a new subclade was identified (L2a1k; initially named as L2a1a) that could have specifically evolved within Europe ;10 kya (Malyarchuk et al 2008). Other studies undertaken in populations from Iberia tried to explain the origin of the observed L lineages (Pereira et al 2000;Larruga et al 2001;Á lvarez-Iglesias et al 2009), concluding that virtually all of these probably arrived in recent times, the majority as a result of the slave trade between the 15th and 19th Centuries.…”

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) lineages of macro-haplogroup L (excluding the derived L3 branches M and N) represent the majority of the typical sub-Saharan mtDNA variability. In Europe, these mtDNAs account for <1% of the total but, when analyzed at the level of control region, they show no signals of having evolved within the European continent, an observation that is compatible with a recent arrival from the African continent. To further evaluate this issue, we analyzed 69 mitochondrial genomes belonging to various L sublineages from a wide range of European populations. Phylogeographic analyses showed that~65% of the European L lineages most likely arrived in rather recent historical times, including the Romanization period, the Arab conquest of the Iberian Peninsula and Sicily, and during the period of the Atlantic slave trade. However, the remaining 35% of L mtDNAs form European-specific subclades, revealing that there was gene flow from sub-Saharan Africa toward Europe as early as 11,000 yr ago.

With the aim of gaining insight into the genetic history of the Russians, we have studied mitochondrial DNA diversity among a number of modern Russian populations. Polymorphisms in mtDNA markers (HVS-I and restriction sites of the coding region) of populations from 14 regions within present-day European Russia were investigated. Based on analysis of the mitochondrial gene pool geographic structure, we have identified three different elements in it and a vast "intermediate" zone between them. The analysis of the genetic distances from these elements to the European ethnic groups revealed the main causes of the Russian mitochondrial gene pool differentiation. The investigation of this pattern in historic perspective showed that the structure of the mitochondrial gene pool of the present-day Russians largely conforms to the tribal structure of the medieval Slavs who laid the foundation of modern Russians. Our results indicate that the formation of the genetic diversity currently observed among Russians can be traced to the second half of the first millennium A.D., the time of the colonization of the East European Plain by the Slavic tribes. Patterns of diversity are explained by both the impact of the native population of the East European Plain and by genetic differences among the early Slavs.
