Palaeolithic Europe 18 000 years ago in the grip of the last ice age. Glacial ice 2km thick covers much of Northern Europe and the Alps. The air would have been on average 10-12 degrees cooler.. Mankind could do little more than survive, and was forced to retreat south to a few scattered enclaves in Asia and Europe.. The emphasis was merely on survival. “During this time, it isn’t possible to venture too far north within Europe as the ice sheets cover much of northern Europe and tundra exists for several miles beneath them. The humans in this part of the world are relatively recent visitors and are not so adapted to the colder climes as are the people of Siberia. Thus, they take refuge below the tree line which at 18,000 years ago, the time of the last glacial maximum, extends across southern Europe. The refugia of Iberia(R1b), the Balkans(I) and Ukraine(R1a) allow people to ‘wait out’ the worst of the ice-age.”
This map shows the spread of Haplogroups R1b, I and R1a (12,000 years ago). These three major haplogroups account for approx 80% of Europe's present-day population. Today distribution of Haplogroup I-M170:

In the midst of this last great cold spell, very roughly about 25,000 years ago, a little baby boy was born with a mutation in his Y-chromosome. No one knew anything about it, least of all the little boy; it didn’t affect his life at all. But geneticists have come to recognize the mutation which took place at the time of this little boy’s conception—marker M170—as the beginning of a new and distinct gene group, called a “Haplogroup,” and lettered as the letter “I”. Y-DNA Haplogroup I represents nearly one-fifth of the population of Europe. It can be found in the majority of present-day European populations; the greatest density to be found in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Norway, Sweden, Serbia, Sardinia, Denmark and Germany. The haplogroup is almost non-existent outside of Europe or Asia Minor, suggesting that it arose in Europe.
