M89
About 25,000 years ago the M170 (haplogroup I)
mutation occurred on the Y chromosome of a
M89 man in the Near East. Some of his male
descendants then entered Europe along a southern
route to become the founders of the Upper
Paleolithic Gravettian culture, the people famous
for the so-called “Venus” figurines.

During the Last Glacial Maximum (18 - 14,000 BC) men
of 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 ….

…the trail of these
Viking genes may explain
the prehistoric ancestry
of several of the I-men
