Y DNA haplogroups in populations of Sub Saharan Africa

The proportions of various human Y-DNA haplogroups vary signicantly from one ethnic or language group to another in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Data in the table below are based on genetic research. Each group sampled is identified in the second column by linguistic designation: AA = Afroasiatic, KS = Khoisan, NS = Nilo-Saharan and NC = Niger–Congo. The third column gives the total sample size studied, and the other columns indicate the percentage observed of particular haplogroups.
