In human mitochondrial genetics, Haplogroup P is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup.

Origin

Haplogroup P is a descendant of Haplogroup R.

Distribution

Today, P is most commonly found in Oceania, especially in Papuans, Melanesians, indigenous Australians,^[3] It's 1.4% in mainstream Filipinos but 1.13% in Luzon, 1.78% in Visayas, 1.43% in Mindanao.^[4] It is much higher in Sub-Filipinos groups, 6.67% in Bugkalot and 11.2% in Maranao.^[5] It was found in the Philippines Negrito Aeta of Bataan at 40%.^[6] It is also found in the Malaysians at 0.9%, including Indonesians.
