E1b were farming too, specially Natufians (highly E1b) in the later periods, but it's not them who expanded in Europe during the neolithic, at least not the first and main wave of the neolithic. The G's and the local HG's who they mixed with, were partly replaced by steppe invaders, although R1b for example was already there in Ice Age Europe (Villabruna) and R1a in the mesolithic (Karelia). ANE admixture was present in the mesolithic at various levels, so we had to find some R's, even very basal R.
