It seems the euros in their recent “non-invasion” hypothesis tried to pull a fast one on renfrew’s Neolithic marker J2.

Notice that the similar terminology in the nonpolitical Neolithic ME>N.Africa abstract actually refers to a reduction in diversity (certainly not a non-invasion):

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->This expansion <b>must have</b> <b>involved relatively small numbers of Y chromosomes</b> <b>to account for the reduction in gene diversity towards the West </b>that accompanied the frequency increase of Y haplogroup E3b2, but gene flow must have been maintained to explain the observed pattern of isolation-by-distance.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Most likely, the entrenched euro interests tried to convert a "reduction in diversity" finding to a "non-invasion" in their recent papers.

coming back to the apolitical N africa paper: "the frequency increase of Y haplogroup E3b2" in the West (N. Africa) is actually just an artifact. It is only an "apparent" phenomenon, but when taken together with the decrease in genetic diversity in N. Africa only strengthens the case for an E to W movement from the ME to N africa during the neolithic.
