Haplogroup C1a2 (V20) has been discovered in the remains of
Palaeolithic people in
Czech Republic (30,000 years ago),
Belgium (35,000 years ago),[3] and the
Sunghir archaeological site near
Vladimir,
Russia.[4] Regarding more recent prehistory, Haplogroup C-V20 has been found in the remains of a male (died ca. 7,000 years ago) associated with a late group of the
Alföld Linear Pottery culture at Kompolt-Kigyósér, Hungary whose mtDNA belonged to
haplogroup J1c1, the remains of a male (died ca. 7,000 years ago) associated with the
LBK Culture at Apc-Berekalja (I.), Hungary whose mtDNA belonged to
haplogroup K1a3a3, and the remains of a male (died ca. 7,000 years ago) associated with
Mesolithic culture at
La Braña-Arintero,
León,
Spain whose mtDNA belonged to
haplogroup U5b2c1.[5] It has also been found[6] in ancient DNA from
Anatolia, specifically in the remains of an
Anatolian hunter-gatherers dating from 13.642-13.073 BCE and belonging to mitochondrial haplogroup K2b.
Haplogroup C-V20 Y-DNA also has been found in a very small number of modern
Europeans,[7]Algerians,[8]Armenians,[9]Turks and
Nepalis.[10] It includes many Y-DNA samples associated with the oldest currently known population of anatomically modern humans in Europe (
Cro-Magnons), and it is considered to be a carrier of the Upper Paleolithic
Aurignacian culture that began 40,000 years ago.[11]

^K-M2313*, which as yet has no phylogenetic name, has been documented in two living individuals, who have ethnic ties to India and South East Asia. In addition, K-Y28299, which appears to be a primary branch of K-M2313, has been found in three living individuals from India. See: Poznik op. cit.;
