| Haplogroup F is the parent haplogroup for all of the Y-DNA haplogroups
from G through R. More than 90% of the world's human population descends
from this group. Because these haplogroups are found almost entirely
outside of sub-Saharan Africa, it is presumed that either the population
migrating out of Africa was Haplogroup F or Haplogroup F appeared soon
after the emigration from Africa, about sixty to eightly thousand years
ago. Some argue the emigration was as late as 45,000 years ago.
Today, Haplogroup F is uncommon compared to its "offspring." It
is not well studied as most of the attention has been paid to their descendant
haplogroups. Haplogroup F is most frequent on the Indian subcontinent
and is rare in Europe, so rare that a Y-DNA
Haplogroup F Project has only just been formed (as of November, 2007).
