 The frequency of this haplogroup among the populations of the islands of Wallacea in eastern Indonesia is quite high, indicating some genetic affinity between the populations of these islands and the indigenous peoples of New Guinea.Haplogroup Q has also been found at low frequency to moderate frequencies, among modern populations of Malaysians, Indonesians, Filipino, Borneans, Sundaland, Micronesia, and Polynesia.This phylogenetic tree of haplogroup Q subclades is based on the paper by Mannis van Oven and Manfred Kayser "Updated comprehensive phylogenetic tree of global human mitochondrial DNA variation" and subsequent published research.
