Line 130: Proto-Turks are the original carriers of M9 haplogroup and Euroasian Clan. Today, haplogroup K and its descendant haplogroups are the patrilineal ancestors of most of the people living in the Northern Hemisphere, including most Europeans, many Indians, and almost all Asians and Native Americans. Other lineages derived from Haplogroup K are found among Melanesian populations, indicating an ancient link between most Eurasians and some populations of Oceania. https://www3.nationalgeographic.com/genographic/atlas.html According to an article by N. Al-Zahery et al., the potentially paraphyletic haplogroup K-M9(xK2, O, P) occurs at a fairly high frequency among the modern population of Turkey. However, the loci of the downstream mutations that define Haplogroup L and Haplogroup N were not tested in this study, and other studies have suggested that these two haplogroups might comprise a substantial minority of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_K_(Y-~~chromosome diversity among modern Anatolian populations, so it is possible that most or all of the reported K-M9 Y-chromosomes might actually belong to Haplogroup L or Haplogroup N.~~DNA) ~~http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_K_(Y-DNA)~~ == Geographic distribution==
