And K1a4 where did come from?

[Maliclavelli]

Also K1a4 is overwhelmingly European:

Not only an Italian is documented, but also that from Irene, who is Irene Pichler, comes from the Rhaetian Region, then Italian Refugium.
But it is interesting to exam the subclade K1a4c1, more recent. Behar 2012b gives for K1a4 an age of 15940.3 +/-2342.2 years and for K1a4c1 3547.2 +/-2760.7. Then which links Armenia with Italy? These are the samples used by Behar 2012b:

On SMGF there are 2 K1a4c1: 1 Italian (Grimaldi/Spera) and 1 German (Reibetanz/Reichel/Geuthel/Oertel).

The expansion from the Italian Refugium is documented beyond any doubt by the Mitosearch data:
