This article is about the human mtDNA haplogroup. For the human Y-DNA haplogroup, see
Haplogroup S-B254 .
In human genetics , Haplogroup S is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup found only among Indigenous Australians . It is a descendant of macrohaplogroup N .

Haplogroup S mtDNA evolved within Australia between 64,000 and 40,000 years ago (51 kya).[2]
It is found in the Indigenous Australian population. Haplogroup S2 found in Willandra Lakes human remain WLH4 dated back Late Holocene (3,000–500 years ago).[3] [4]

Tree
This phylogenetic tree of haplogroup S subclades is based on the paper by Mannis van Oven and Manfred Kayser Updated comprehensive phylogenetic tree of global human mitochondrial DNA variation [1] and subsequent published research. The TMRCA for haplogroup S is between 49 and 51 KYA according to Nano Nagle's Aboriginal Australian mitochondrial genome variation – an increased understanding of population antiquity and diversity publication that published in 2017.[2]
