What absolute nonsense! You can't go by the "absence" of something, and especially in such a small pool, to draw any meaningful conclusions.
However, most of the present day European lineage passed out of Africa through the middle east. Then there was some mixing with the Asian pool. It depends which markers you use and when they arose as to what it tells you and you have to interpret accordingly.
