Sub-Saharan L lineages don't appear in North Africa

Notably, Sub-Saharan L lineages don't appear in North Africa until the Holocene. This is consistent with the lack of L lineages in Taforalt remains (12,000 YBP). This means that we don't have evidence for sub-Saharan L3 lineages differentiating in North or East Africa to spawn macrohaplogroup M and N. All we know is that L lineages are late arrival in the North.
