and j2b2 is neolitic and has nothing to do with illyrians.
There was no EV13 in that study,which is the most common gheg haplo, but you seem you albanians forgot to point this out.
What the study shows is that balkans and Europe was made of mainly Hunter Gatherers haplogruops like I and G ,with a few farming haplos like J.
That there were no I2a1 in the study is no problem in itself,the samples were small and HG were always on the move and traveling in packs.
HG unlike neolitic farmers were moving frequently,hence the small sample of like 10 people of which a few didnt even had Y-DNA doesnt prove a thing,finding j2b2 is nothing uncommon,its an neolitic farmers haplo,
