Haplogroup M8 is a designation in the human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup classification system. Haplogroups are used by geneticists to trace the ancestry and migration patterns of human populations based on specific genetic markers in mitochondrial DNA, which is inherited matrilineally (from mother to children). Haplogroup M predominantly arises from the broader M haplogroup, which is believed to have originated in Asia around 60,000 years ago.
