Mt-haplogroup U5 arose in Europe just prior to the LGM, between 35 and 25 thousand years ago. [65] The 14,000 year old Villabruna 1 skeleton from Ripari Villabruna, Italy, is the oldest identified bearer of Y-haplogroup R1b (R1b1a-L754* (xL389,V88)) found in Europe, likely brought in from eastern introgression.
