Some of his male descendants then entered Europe along a southern route to become the founders of the Upper Paleolithic Gravettian culture, the people famousfor the so-called “Venus” figurines.

During the Last Glacial Maximum (18 - 14,000 BC) menof haplogroup I become genetically isolated in the Balkans. As the glaciers began to melt this population radiated to the north and west. Today, haplogroup I occurs in high frequencies in Scandinavia and the Balkans, with smaller numbers elsewhere. The northern variety of haplogroup I seems to have been common in Viking populations that conquered much of western Europe between AD 800 and 1000, and ….
