Please choose what you believe to be the most interesting haplogroup in Europe; and explain to me why and how. Give your opinion in detail.
I, personally, would say haplogroup T is the most interesting. It is the most mysterious to me. I do believe many subclades of T were Caucasian in origin. But I am wondering how it got into Europe. I am surmising it originated in an Anatolian people; and was spread around Europe. Possibly by Greeks and Romans with Etruscan admixture.
What is interesting, is that Italy; especially in the Central region; carries this haplogroup at an over 7% frequency. It is almost completely absent in North Africa; which suggests a Near Eastern and Non-African origin. It couldn't have come there from Moors or other Muslim conquests.
Edit: Please don't vote for your own. Just because it's your haplogroup. If you vote for your own; please give a good explanation why.
