Haplogroup T is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup. Human beings, humans or man (Origin 1590–1600 L homō man OL hemō the earthly one (see Humus Mitochondrial DNA ( mtDNA) is the DNA located in Organelles called mitochondria. In the study of Molecular evolution, a haplogroup, from "ἁπλο-" (Greek haplo-: simple or single + "group" is a group of similar Haplotypes Haplogroup T derives from the haplogroup JT, which also gave rise to Haplogroup J. Haplogroup JT is a Human Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA Haplogroup. Haplogroup J is a Human Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA Haplogroup. Haplogroup J derives from the haplogroup JT, which also gave rise to Haplogroup T is believed to have originated in Mesopotamia approximately 10,000 years before present, and to have moved northwards. Mesopotamia (from the Greek meaning "land between the rivers" is an area geographically located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers largely corresponding It is found with particularly high concentrations around the eastern Baltic Sea. The Baltic Sea is a Brackish inland sea located in Northern Europe, from 53°N to 66°N Latitude and from 20°E to 26°E Longitude.
In his popular book The Seven Daughters of Eve, Bryan Sykes (who is himself in haplogroup T) named the originator of this mtDNA haplogroup Tara. The Seven Daughters of Eve (2001 ISBN 0-393-02018-5 is a book by Bryan Sykes that presents the theory of Human mitochondrial genetics to a general audience Bryan Sykes is Professor of Human Genetics at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of Wolfson College.
Studies, which have since been proven wrong, had shown mitochondrial haplogroup T to be associated with reduced sperm motility in males. [1] Such studies were not studies on fertility, and reduced fertility needn't be inferred from such results.

Notable people of haplogroup T
The last Russian tsar, Nicholas II, has been shown to be of haplogroup T. Russia (Россия Rossiya) or the Russian Federation ( Rossiyskaya Federatsiya) is a transcontinental Country extending Tsar csar and tzar redirect here For other uses see Tsar (disambiguation. This was established when genetic testing was done on his remains to authenticate his identity. As a consequence, all his matrilineal relatives have haplotype T. Assuming all relevant pedigrees are correct, this includes all female-line descendants of his female line ancestor Barbara of Celje (1390-1451), wife of Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor.
