context_page_description: Haplogroup T-L206, also known as haplogroup T1, is a human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup. The SNP that defines the T1 clade is L206. The haplogroup is one two primary branches of T, the other subclade being T2.
  T1 is the most common descendant of the T-M184 haplogroup, being the lineage of more than 95% of all T-M184 members in Africa and Eurasia. T1 lineages are now found at high frequencies among northern Somali clans. It is hypothesized that T1* originated in the Middle East and spread into Europe and North Africa with the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B culture.
  The basal clade T1* is rare, but has been found in at least three males from widely separated regions: a Berber from Tunisia, a Syrian, and a Macedonian.
  T-L206's sole primary branch, T1a, is believed to have originated about 15,900 – 23,900 BP, in the Levant. It appears that individuals bearing T-M70 later migrated south to Africa.
