Haplogroup E-M132, formerly called E-M33 (E1a), is a type of genetic marker found on the Y-chromosome in human males. This means it helps scientists study the ancestry and history of men by looking at their DNA. E-M132 is one of the two main branches that come from an older group called E-P147.

This haplogroup is split into two main sub-groups: E-M44 and E-Z958. These sub-groups have many smaller branches, which help researchers trace how groups of people moved and changed over time. By studying haplogroups like E-M132, scientists can learn about the past connections between different populations around the world.

Ancient DNA

Scientists have found evidence of E-M132/E1a in very old bones. One bone was from a person who lived on the Canary Islands and another from someone from El Hierro around the year 1000 CE.

They also found it in a person from the North Caucasus who lived long ago, between 900 and 700 BCE, and in someone from punic-era Spain.

Distribution

E-M132 Frequencies in select populations

E-M132 is most common in West Africa, especially in the country of Mali. Studies show that up to 34% of men in Mali carry this haplogroup. The Dogon people in Mali have even higher rates, with about 45.5% carrying E-M132, making it one of the most common groups there. It has also been found in around 15.6% of people in Guinea-Bissau.

Haplogroup E-Z958 is another smaller group that comes from haplogroup E-M132.

Phylogenetic history

Main article: Conversion table for Y chromosome haplogroups

Before 2002, scientists used many different ways to name parts of the Y-chromosome family tree. This made things very confusing. In 2002, big research groups worked together to make one tree that everyone could use. Later, some people interested in family history made their own tree to share new findings quickly. The table below shows how all these old names fit into the new tree from 2002. This helps anyone reading old research papers understand the names.

Research publications

These research teams helped create the new tree:

  • α Jobling and Tyler-Smith 2000 and Kaladjieva 2001
  • β Underhill 2000
  • γ Hammer 2001
  • δ Karafet 2001
  • ε Semino 2000
  • ζ Su 1999
  • η Capelli 2001

Phylogenetic trees

This family tree of haplogroup groups is based on work from 2008 and newer research.
