actually, northern Europe was covered with glaciers until 10 thousand BC, so you are probably right, but only by a few thousand years.
The problem is that a lot of the information of the past is being rewritten as those DNA studies and more archeology is being done.
I’ve started reading some books on this, and the ideas have changed a lot since I was in college...
I read somewhere that DNA studies are unsettling the old anthropology guard that based theories by the study of skulls or teeth, etc,

Its possible there were modern humans living in Europe before the start of the last major glaciation which ended about 11,000 years ago.
If modern humans left Africa 100,000 - 60,000 years ago, they may very well have morphed into Caucasian and Asian racial types before the ned of the last glaciation.
