 The haplogroup consists of five main branches (L0a, L0b, L0d, L0f, L0k).Four of them were originally classified into L1 subclades, L1a, L1d, L1f and L1k.In 2014, ancient DNA analysis of a 2,330 year old male forager's skeleton in Southern Africa found that the specimen belonged to the L0d2c1c mtDNA subclade.
