After studying the DNA of more than 2,000 men, researchers say they have compelling evidence that four out of five white Europeans can trace their roots to the Near East....

Peter - it's suprising how close this is to all the stuff the British Isrealites (it's a proper name) and other groups were pamphleteering on 30 and 40 years ago...and was viewed since as slightly propagandistic and Holocaust-denying! :lol:

The newspaper article is probably a very inaccurate account of the original article. 2000 is a very small sample to draw conclusions of the English, and impossible for Europe.
Perhaps the reference of the original article was to Indo-Europeans, which is the origin of most Europeans. The Indo-Europeans moved into an Europe then split mainly between the Basques and Finno-Urgic peoples. Further non-Indo-European genetics arrived with the arrival of various Asiatic peoples in very roughly 1000 AD: the Hungarians, the Bulgarians, the Mongols in Russia, etc.
The Great Human Diasporas: The History Of Diversity And Evolution (Paperback)
by Luigi Luca Cavalli Sforza (Author), Lynn Parker (Author)
This book provides a compelling theory on the settling of the earth, starting from the African location of our common ancestor "Eve". It shows the path from Africa being through the Near East. The path of the Indo-Europeans proceeds to what is now Ukraine. Other paths proceeded to the Far East, India, Australia, and the Americas.
See my map of the Indo-European Homeland in:

Here the differentiation began into peoples united by a common language.
Saxons Vikings And Celts (Paperback) by Bryan Sykes (Author)
This book presents the genetic origin in the British Isles, starting with the Celts, then the Romans, the Germanic Nordics, the Germanic Anglo-Saxons, and the Normans. It is interesting that the most common female origin is Celtic from Northern Spain.
