The question is , how far in North of Europe?
A very big problem for surviving is the coldness and absence of the
food.
Normally, it should be possible to appreciate how cold was the clime in
Europe in the 6000 BC for drawing a line for North of Europe where the
climatic conditions could afford the life.
Regarding the "darkness" of the Latin I ask myself what wanted then
Virgilius in Aeneida to say about the "Latins of the old Latium" with
blondes beards.
The next text is to be took -maybe- with very much salt since I
reproduce the words of Nicolae Densusianu in his work "Prehystoric
Dacia" from 1913

In the old sagas it is said there have been two big families of the
Pelasgian people. One of them called the Latins one of them called the
Arimis. The old Latins have been known as "Abarimon(es)" or "Abii",
Leucoarimani or "White Barbarians".
As for the family of Armini ( name used by Homers and Hesyod) there have
belonged the Scythians called before "aramaes", the old inhabitants of
Germanic lands called Hermiones and Almanni, Aremoricae of Aremorica or
Aquitania , Volcae Arecomici between Pyrinees and Rhodan, old population
of Italy, Turditanes and , Tarracones and Lusitanians from Spain.
After Hesiodus the genealogy of Latins and Ariminis should have been
this one:
Circe, the sister of king Aetes of Colchis have had with Odysseus 2
children. The one was caled "Agrius" ( the rustic one, the peasant,
called by Pultrach " The Roman" [Pultrach. Asmulus ]) and the another
one have been called Latinus.
