Origin and Prehistoric Presence
Haplogroup I-P37.2 has been identified in neolithic human remains in Europe. Two samples of ancient Y-DNA from Treilles, the type-site of a Late Neolithic group of farmers in the South of France, dated to about 3000 BC tested positive for M438 and P37.2. The culture predates the Bell Beaker and Corded Ware Culture in Europe. The remains were found in association with others testing positive for Haplogroup G2a (p15+). A study of earlier Neolithic human remains at Derenburg Meerenstieg II in Germany linked to the Linear Band Culture dated to 5500-4900 BC found two remains that tested positive for Haplogroup F, but negative for haplogroup G,H,I,J or K (positive for M89 but negative for markers M201,M69, M170, M304, and M9). These remains were found in association with remains testing positive for G2a3 (SNP S126 or L30).

Famous quotes containing the words origin, prehistoric and/or presence:
“Good resolutions are useless attempts to interfere with scientific laws. Their origin is pure vanity. Their result is absolutely nil. They give us, now and then, some of those luxurious sterile emotions that have a certain charm for the weak.... They are simply cheques that men draw on a bank where they have no account.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Of course
the New Testament is very small.
Its mouth opens four times
as out-of-date as a prehistoric monster,
yet somehow man-made....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“The City of New York is like an enormous citadel, a modern Carcassonne. Walking between the magnificent skyscrapers one feels the presence on the fringe of a howling, raging mob, a mob with empty bellies, a mob unshaven and in rags.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
