W4 is defined by the striking HVR2 motif 143-194-196. It appeared in the central Asian steppes around 12,000 years ago. Descendants migrated to Central India and Europe. The road to Europe follows the spread of neolithic agriculture, from Anatolia, up the Danube to Central Europe.

W4, at 8% if all W's, is the smallest W subgroup.
