Many believe Aurignacian in Europe were y-DNA I. Me too.
But during LGM (last glacial maximum 18-25000 years ago) many died and there were just a few survivors in 'refuges'.
That is when I split into several subgroups.
I know of 3 proven refuges, where people survived through LGM :
- southern France and coastal Iberia :
this seems to have been I1, as many of them went north after LGM, and those who stayed south, not many survived Neolithic and Indo-European immigrations
- Italy ('gravettian')
- coastal area south of Balkans (e.g. Franchthi cave)
There may have been more refuges where people survived through LGM.
But the Balkans seem to have been largely depopulated untill the arrival of the Neolithic farmers.
I think we can distinguish 5 subgroups which may have originated during LGM : I1, I2a1, I2a2, I2b and I2c.
Do you believe these subgroups originated during LGM?
Where do you think they survived?
