E1a and E2 are found almost exclusively in Africa, and only E1b1b is observed in significant frequencies in Europe and western Asia in addition to Africa. Most Sub-Saharan Africans belong to subclades of E other than E1b1b, while most non-Africans who belong to Haplogroup E belong to its E1b1b subclade

Haplogroup E* has been found in one South African male and one male from Western India. Al Roker and The Wright Brothers share this DNA Haplogroup.

Haplogroup E, an African origin going back 50,000 years ago (a date older than previously thought), while suggesting that the parent lineage, Haplogroup D/E would have left Africa some 65,000 years ago, coinciding with the migration of modern humans out of Africa.
