1. Burundi and Rwanda:
Dominant Haplogroups:
E-M96 (especially E1b1a/E-M2): This is the most prevalent Y-DNA haplogroup in Bantu-speaking populations, including the Hutu and Tutsi, associated with the Bantu expansion from West-Central Africa around 3,000–4,000 years ago. Studies suggest E1b1a constitutes 60–80% of paternal lineages in these groups, reflecting their Bantu ancestry.
B-M60: Found at higher frequencies in Tutsi (14.9%) compared to Hutu (4.3%), this haplogroup is common among African Pygmy populations and may indicate ancient gene flow from Central African hunter-gatherers.
E-M293, E-V32, E-V22: These subclades of E are noted in the Great Lakes region, particularly among Tutsi, suggesting some Cushitic or Nilotic influence from pastoralist migrations. E-M293 is common in East Africa, while E-V22 and E-V32 are linked to Northeast African populations.
Other Haplogroups:
A3b1-M51: Rare but present in some Bantu populations, this haplogroup is typically associated with Khoisan groups and may reflect minor admixture.
R1b, J, T: These Eurasian haplogroups appear in low frequencies, likely introduced through colonial or earlier interactions with non-African populations.
Tutsi vs. Hutu:
Genetic studies indicate that Tutsi have a higher proportion of non-Bantu haplogroups (e.g., B, E-V32, E-V22), suggesting some Cushitic or Nilotic ancestry, possibly from pastoralist migrations 500–1,000 years ago. Hutu are more uniformly Bantu, with higher E1b1a frequencies. The genetic distinction is not absolute due to historical intermarriage, but Tutsi often show closer affinity to East African pastoralists.
2. Tanzania:
Dominant Haplogroups:
E-M96 (E1b1a, E1b1b): As in Burundi and Rwanda, E1b1a dominates among Bantu-speaking groups like the Sukuma and Turu, tied to the Bantu expansion. E1b1b, associated with Cushitic and Nilotic.
1. Burundi and Rwanda:
Tutsi vs. Hutu:
Tutsi show slightly higher frequencies of East African-specific lineages, potentially reflecting admixture with Cushitic or Nilotic groups. Hutu mtDNA is more uniformly Bantu, with higher L2 and L3 frequencies. Limited peer-reviewed mtDNA data for Tutsi makes comparisons tentative.
Admixture: Both groups show minor Khoisan (L0d, L0k) and Afro-Asiatic influences, likely from interactions with neighboring populations.
