It has been found at a frequency of approximately 10% among the Maris of the Volga-Ural region, leading to the suggestion that this region might be the source of the V among the Saami. Haplogroup V has been observed at higher than average levels among Cantabrian people (15%) of northern Iberia, and among the adjacent Basque (10.4%). https://sites.google.com/site/n8iveuropean/home/neanderthal https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17892849
