Haplogroup E is a branch on the maternal tree of human kind. It is a child of haplogroup M9. It was likely born in the Southeast Asia around 24,000 years ago. (Behar et al., 2012b)
Origin
Most researchers consider the birthplace of E to have been born in Southeast Asia.
Age
Behar et al., 2012b placed the birth of the E lineage between 16,800 and 30,600 years ago. This means the line was born in the Upper Paleolithic. At the time, people were using stone tools.

Timeline
This timeline is an overview of the E branch’s history from the first early people to the birth of the first woman from the E lineage. (View in new tab.)
Modern Populations
Today, this lineage is most common in Southeast Asia. It is also found on the island of Madagascar and in isolated populations in China.

Age: 33,150 ± 8,200 Years Ago
Origin: Southeast Asia
Blurb: This point in your ancestors’ journey began in Southeast Asia around 33,000 years ago. At the time, the Pleistocene climate meant much lower sea levels in the region. Thus, your ancestors were more readily able to settle the region from their homeland in Sundaland.Global climate change lead to rapid increases in sea levels. These submerged Sundaland causing the loss of land and greatly reduced the populations in the region. However, over time your ancestors adapted to the new island environment and once more thrived. Around 6,000 years ago, they took part in population expansions that carried them as far as Taiwan and New Guinea.Today, this lineage is present in Indonesia, East Malaysia, New Guinea, the Philippines, and Taiwan. This line’s highest frequencies are now in Sulawesi, where it is about 26 percent of the population. It is between 10 and 15 percent of maternal lineages in Taiwan. It is around 16 percent of the population in the Philippines. It is 14 percent of the population in Borneo. It is present at lower frequencies elsewhere in Southeast Asia: Java (3 percent), Sumatra (7 percent), and Maluku (7 to 8 percent).Author: Rebekah A. Canada | Copyright: National Geographic

mtDNA Haplogroup E Data Sources
GenBank Samples
GenBank is a database of genetic sequence data. It is run by the United States National Institute of Health. It serves as the main repository for mtDNA full sequence profiles. Samples come both from published academic literature and donations from genetic genealogy community members. In addition to GenBank samples, listings below may include other samples published but not submitted to GenBank such as those from the HapMap project.
Note: GenBank results currently use Phylotree build 16. I am working on changing results over to build 17.
