Talk:Haplogroup L0 (mtDNA)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] edited discussion from Template talk:MtDNA

I am sorry, but who is saying that L0 is extinct? [1] says that L0 has a frequency of 25% in Mozambique! .... It appears, from [2] that L0 is simply the first offshoot off the tree rooted at mt-Eve. Please restore the template accordingly. dab (ᛏ) 07:26, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

• This is really confusing, but some people are using L0-L5 to indicate haplogroups currently found in Africa (I put links to these in the external links section of the L0 page), and some are using L0 to indicate an extinct haplogroup, which I believe was found in some ancient human remains (mtDNA can be extracted from the bone and teeth of ancient remains). I think showing it as not extinct (your change) is better, and the confusion can be discussed in the L0 article itself. .... — Reinyday, 11:50, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
