7,700 – 4,500 Years Ago – Iberia Migration Event (Iberian Peninsula), it seems around 7,700 to 6,100 an out of Iberia event took place where an Iberia migration along southern europe back to Africa then back to Europe. The genetics most commonly attached to the Celtic (including; Iberian, Gallic, Celtic, Germanic and Scandinavian), remains split between Iberia prior to the end of the last ice age and various West Asian locations after the ice age. their ancestor entered Europe from central Asia during a warm period about 40,000 to 30,000 years ago. We know that modern humans survived and flourished in the Iberian refuge during the end of the last ice age. The ice sheets melted and retreated earlier on the west coast than in the rest of Europe. The genetic family tree has a trunk firmly rooted in Iberia and many branches stretch along the western Atlantic coast of Europe and branches across Europe and even back into Asia. This gave the inhabitants of the Iberian refuge an advantage – a “first-mover” advantage gained by being the first to move north. These first-movers gained a land-monopoly. Western Atlantic migrations, took a path along the Mediterranean coast and down the Adriatic and it seems to indicate Crete as a stepping-stone in the Mediterranean after which there was migration into the middle east to the Nile River Valley and from there back to Africa event(s) finally occurring roughly 5,500 to 4,500 years ago. Moreover, there also seems to have been a re-migration back to Europe from Africa about 3,200 to 2,200 years ago. And, it seems again, that Crete played a role as a stepping-stone to re-entering the Eastern Adriatic region and then spreading back into Central and Eastern Europe. ref ref
