Because of continuing research, the structure of the Y-DNA Haplogroup Tree changes and ISOGG
does its best to keep the tree updated with the latest developments
in the field. The viewer may observe other versions of the tree on the Web. Email
Alice Fairhurst if the differences need
clarification.

Y-DNA haplogroup L is found primarily as sub-group L1 in India and Sri Lanka.
Sub-group L3 is found mainly in Pakistan. Haplogroup L can also be found at
low frequencies in the Middle East and in Europe along the Mediterranean coast.
