So if there's this young, 9,000 year old branch of haplogroup U called U5b1b, is common to both Saami and certain berbers and Fulbe but haplogroup U the much older parent of this branch is estimated to have arisen between 43,000 and 50,000 years ago where did haplogroup U originate?
Where were the oldest human remains carrying haplogroup U found?

U5b1b haplotypes have not been found in Algeria yet, although this is a rare lineage in North Africa with its highest peak (6.2%) in the W. Saharan-Mauritanian region
U5b Although a small proportion of the Haplogroup U (mtDNA) among the Sami falls into U4, the great majority is U5b. The percentage of total Sami mtDNA samples tested by K. Tambets and her colleagues (published in 2004) which were U5b ranged from 56.8% in Norwegian Sami to 26.5% in Swedish Sami.[5] In research made by M. Ingman and U. Gyllensten in 2006 shows a slightly different setting: Norwegian Sami belongs to U5b as well as U5b1b1 to 56.8%, Finnish Sami with 40.6%, Northern Sami in Sweden to 35.5% and Southern Sami in Sweden within reindeer herding to 23.9% while Southern Sami in Sweden outside of reindeer herding/other occupation belong to U5b to 16.3% and to U5b1b1 to 12%.[7] Sami U5b falls into subclade U5b1b1. The Sami U5b1b1 [5] sub-clade is present in many different populations, e.g. 3% or higher frequencies in Karelia, Finland, and Northern-Russia.[5]
