The news today comes from Eurogenes: Villabruna but pre-IndoEuropean. This new finding is from the latest Pleistocene, first half of the 15th millennium BC. The region is Riparo Tagliente around Venice. "Epigravettian" which means, here, post- [UPDATE 5/5/22 east]. This guy's peeps had run the Gravettian peeps off the Adriatic.
The paper is Bartolini et al., "Early Alpine occupation backdates westward human migration in Late Glacial Europe". His mother was in the U4'9 clade, related to "Ursula" (but not "Katrine") of the Daughters of Eve. Father was I2 like, er, that Austrian guy.
As Davidski notes, this isn't the J type male or (other) J type female typical of the Neolithic Farmer. (Not Aryan neither but that goes wi'out sayin', dunnit.) Bartolini thinks he got here from the Balkans which then, note, was an extension of Anatolia. The seas were lower then.
