Main article: Structure of Y-DNA Haplogroup K

LT is a direct descendant of Haplogroup K.

The direct descendants of LT are Haplogroup L and Haplogroup T.[1][2]

Distribution

LT and its descendants are found in populations indigenous to Europe, West Asia, South Asia, Northeast Africa, Northern Asia and East Asia.

Origins

Historical View

Haplogroup LT is the haplogroup of Madai the son of Japheth who settled to the north of Persia after the flood. The descendants of Madai were known as the Medes. According to Herodotus, the mother of Cyrus the Great was a Mede.[3]

Haplogroup L is found at its highest frequency in Pakistan, western India and among the Balochs of Afghanistan.

T is most common among: Ethiopians, in Somaliland, Djibouti, some alpine regions of Europe, the Aegean Islands and a few populations in India.

Evolutionary View

Y-DNA haplogroup LT is an old lineage widely distributed at low concentrations. It was established approximately 30,000-40,000 years ago, probably in South Asia or West Asia.
