  1. Note: The presence of E1b1b-M81 in Palenque is interpreted in this study as the result of European admixture, although it cannot be ruled out that it came from North Africa via western Africa. Although an African origin was considered to be more likely for the E1b1b-M35* (xM78, M81, M123, V6, M293) lineage in Palenque, we cannot exclude the hypothesis that it came from Europe, since rare E1b1b-M35 subclades were reported in European populations.
