These are complete mito-genomes. Some very interesting stuff.

[h=1]Pleistocene Mitochondrial Genomes Suggest a Single Major Dispersal of Non-Africans and a Late Glacial Population Turnover in Europe[/h]
I've only skimmed it so far. I'll have more to post later. It seems great grandmama's U2 was once all over northwestern Europe but was replaced in good measure, only to re-emerge later further east. Of course, M was also replaced.
I had always suspected that U5a came from another refugium.
I'm not sure, as always, about the dating.

- Newly generated pre-Neolithic European mtDNA genomes triple the number available
- •Clade M found for the first time in Europe, prior to the Last Glacial Maximum bottleneck
- •Rapid single dispersal of all non-Africans less than 55,000 years ago
- •Previously unknown major population shift in Europe at the end of the Pleistocene
