H2, found in Neolithic Europe, in Germany 'Derenburg', and advised it was very ancient and rare in Europe, mostly found with G2a,and I2a. H2 has been reclassified previously from F* and later F3,to 'H2' since 2013, I believe. H2 is found in rare numbers today, still in Europe, mostly Northern Europe, including Sweden, Scotland, England etc, so may change again as it looks as if 'H2' entered Europe individually in ancient times, and quite sperately from the mainstream 'H' haplogroup, which branched east into India/Asia,when leaving Africa.
An update, Received my Living DNA Book this week, and I am left totally confused, I have taken an autosomal, Y, & mtDNA test with them and they inform and still confirm my DNA shows I am 100% European, and 100% British and Irish, with only 2.7% Irish, on 'complete family ' and no Irish on the more acurrate ' cautious family' again 100% European, and 100% British. So completely European, and yet my Living DNA report informs your Haplogroup is nearly completely restricted to India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan,.....Something seriously wrong here.. On FTDNA Y-DNA mapping for my haplogroup Y- H2( P96 ) There is none in England, none in Scotland, one in Sweden, two other single reports from Switzerland and France near to the border with Germany. Ancient H2 has been found in Germany during Early Neolithic period areas, and it well shown as present on Eupedia maps of early Europeans, ( Mesolithic 9000-7000 BCE, Maciamo Nov 2015 ). My history is paper trailed Uk to at least the 1700's on my Y-DNA, and my other ancestry includes professionally researched lineages back to the ninth century West Saxon Ecgberht died 839 AD, So it confirms a long exsistance of Ancestry in this country. My blood group is A+,same as 'my father', and my brother and my son, which is the most prominent European group, I believe, ( my wife, has Blood group 'O' Rh positive' ) I have no knowledge of any Indian or other connection with the mostly restricted area living DNA are reporting and suggesting is my Ancestry. I have no connection other than British and European. Regarding supporting my European-DNA, I was born blond haired as was my Father,and His Father, all his brothers and sisters, my brothers, as was all my sons, and my three grandsons (5 generations ). My father and all his brothers and sisters and his father my G/father were all blue eyed Im certian, and there is no dark hair or skin in any of our colouring that would suggest any ancestry or recent ancestry from the area of my recent Y- DNA, and is clearly at odds with the Ancestry, that Living DNA is suggesting we come from. Family resemblances are reflecting no infusion of any Indian/asian etc 'NPE'. Living DNA, themselves are showing nothing but 100% European......??? My Y-H2 Haplogroup has already been changed a number of times, from F*, F3 to recently H2 from 2013, Have they got it right..? seems it conflicts with there own, and significant other evidence. There is also another lad from Scotland he also is confused due to receiving the same Y-H2 Haplogroup recently from Living DNA... How do I find out, wether they got it right or not .. If this is my actual Y DNA Haplogroup, which a lot of evidence seems to dispute or have a serious confliction with, and not least the true region of its, or my Ancestral Journey.
