Haplogroup L: The Forgotten Lineage of South Asia
Haplogroup L is one of the oldest maternal lineages outside Africa, yet few people know how important it is to the story of early human migration. This documentary explores how women carrying Haplogroup L were among the first humans to reach South Asia, surviving climate disasters, mixing with later populations, and leaving a rare but powerful genetic legacy. This video blends science, archaeology, and storytelling to uncover one of the most ancient layers of human history.
