Regardless of where & how K split from, its still under UK, mixing the names only adds confusion. Cadenas2008 ( talk) 15:07, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
I propose merging article Haplogroup UK to Haplogroup K.
As the previous talk section states, there is naming confusion regarding UK. After I used Google to survey dozens of scholarly articles containing the phrase "Haplogroup UK", the term UK seems to be an informal reference to branch K of branch U or a specific mutation found in subclade U. There seems to be no single or common authority yet on haplogroup nomenclature or phylogeny, but the Phylogenic tree in the main article Human_mitochondrial_DNA_haplogroup seems to be the most detailed and contains the best references. The Wikipedia articles for Haplogroup U#Haplogroup U8, Haplogroup K, Haplogroup UK could all use improvement in identification and references regarding phylogeny. At least this proposal is a start.
