Migrations of K, L and T

[newtoboard]

Has anybody ever made a map on the migrations of various L and T clades as well as the K clade that is ancestral to L and T? is there a theory accepted by most scholars out there?

I do not have a migration map, but based on the data, I believe Syro-Mesopotamia and Y-DNA T may have a long history. The same goes for (certain subclades ? of) Y-DNA L and Syria/Levant.

Y-DNA T in Syro-Mesopotamia, among minorities and Syrian Arabs(?). Sources are Mendez et al., and the Assyrian DNA project at FTDNA.

This may tie-in with the above. Druze, Palestinian Christians, Alawites, and Maronites with the highest frequencies among Semitic-speaking populations.

I think L1b has a long history in the Levant (that is what I believe most of the Levantine L belongs to). But I am not sure on that. For example DMXX has speculated that at least some of the Talysh L came from Central Asia. I don't see why the same can't apply to the Levant especially if we find L1a and L1c. L1b I don't know. But it does seem to have its peak among groups around the south Black and Caspian seas.

There seems to be a lot of claims of L originating in Iran or Mesopotamia but given the distribution of L clades South Central Asia seems more likely. L1c seems to be concentrated in South Central Asia. L1b in West Asia. L1a in South Asia. L2 in Europe.

What is Northern Iraqi Jews? Are there another group of Jews other than the Kurdish Jews?

There are quite many Hemshin Armenians with old L2(L1b).. I also have 2 L2* matches from Anatolia and a Cypriot..

Jews of N Iraq = Kurdish Jews. Native speakers of Northeastern Neo-Aramaic. Like myself.

Well, I am not one who is claiming L originated in Iran/Mesopotamia. I think it is a possibility. But, of course, so is farther east. We need a study devoted to the question of Y-DNA L's origin(s). Some aDNA would not hurt either.

I know you never made a claim like that. I wasn't talking about you but the fact that this seems to be a common theory on Eupedia.

The claim comes from the paper on J and T in Madagascar and east africa. They where "arab/persian" slavers with markings of T and J and first appeared as hunter/herders from the Zargos mountains ( they migrated south later). The L is due to the high balochi and gedrosian mixture plus their "union" with the Akkadian empire and their association in the northern levant.

I agree that L began in south central Asia ( so did N ) , but moved westwards. IJKLT are the same family

you need to update the T tree...........there is a new branch
