T1 - is best characterized as a European lineage. With an origin in the Near East greater than 45,000 years ago, the major sub-lineages of haplogroup T entered Europe around the time of the Neolithic 10,000 years ago. Once in Europe, these sub-lineages underwent a dramatic expansion associated with the arrival of agriculture in Europe. The origin of haplogroup T1 dates to at least 6,000 years ago, and today, we find haplogroup T1 distributed in populations living in southeast, central, and northwestern Europe.
