In human genetics, Haplogroup MNOPS is a human male Y-DNA Haplogroup.[1] It shares the immediate ancestor, Haplogroup K, in common with Haplogroup L and Haplogroup T. It is the ancestral haplogroup to Haplogroup M, Haplogroup NO, Haplogroup P, and Haplogroup S.[2][3]

Macro-haplogroup R
Macro-haplogroup R1

Haplogroup R1a. Mainly found in Eastern Europe, South Asia and Central Asia.


Haplogroup R1b. Mainly found in Western Europe, Central Africa and Central Asia.



Haplogroup R2. Mainly found in South Asia.




Haplogroup S. New Guinea, Indonesia and Melanesia.


In more detail, the following phylogenetic tree of haplogroup subclades is based on the YCC 2008 tree[4] and subsequent published research.
