There is a recent paper which describes the diversification of
Y-chromosomal sequences in different human populations, I'm not sure of
the journal off the top of my head or how narrowly they looked at
indoeuropean derived populations. This article is supposed to be the most
recent and the strongest evidence yet for a >200,000 year branch point
for modern the H. Sapiens populations. Prior to this another group looked
at mitochondrial sequences. Give a little time and I can get you an exact
reference.
