Haplogroup R
Possible time of origin	before 55000 years before present
Possible place of origin	Near East
Ancestor	N
Descendants	B, F, pre-HV, pre-JT, P, UK

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

Haplogroup R is a descendant of macro-Haplogroup N. Among its descendant haplogroups are B, UK (and thus U and K), F, pre-HV (and thus HV, H, and V), and the ancestral haplogroup of J and T.
