It's paleo-European, present-day Slavic.

Some events associated with the spread of I-M170 was responsible for an increase in height among the Gravettians, but we don't know what these events really are, so its not known yet how Gravettians got so tall in the first place. Either way, the Gravettians then gave their height to the Dinaric people. The reason why there was such a large concentration of them in the Dinarics is because they're thought to have found a glacial refugium there.
