My understanding is that I2 originated during the Late Paleolithic some 22,000 years ago.
The LGM refugium of origin for I2 is still up for scholarly debate (around here it seems to be quite lively), but likely candidates are:
--Franco-Iberian refuge
--Italian peninsula
--lower Rhone
--Balkan peninsula
--Ukrainian LGM refuge (north / northwest Black Sea shoreline region)
--Anatolia
--(North) Caucasus
--who the hell knows! (the facts are confusing and conflicting)
