Haplogroup O (Y-DNA)

Dear child, haplogroup o (y-dna) is like a secret code that tells us about where our ancestors came from a long, long time ago. This code is hidden inside our DNA, which is like a really long instruction manual that tells our body how to work.

Now, everyone in the world belongs to a haplogroup or a group of people who have similar DNA codes. Haplogroup O is one such group, and it is found most commonly in people who live in East and Southeast Asia.

This group helps scientists know more about the history of the people who lived in Asia thousands of years ago. Through studying this code, they can learn things like how people moved from one place to another, how different groups of people mixed, and how certain traits or features appeared in different populations.

So, haplogroup O is like a secret code that helps us understand the history of people from Asia a long time ago. Isn't that cool?
