Exactly why do you think he sailed from Africa? The DNA matches the 
western European hunter gatherers who had be in Europe as long ago as 
17,000 years BP.

The rest of the article is pay walled but if you read other sources there 
is waffling on the skin color although 'black' generates better headlines. 
Even Wikipedia is more balanced.

When you're looking for specific alleles of SLC24A5 and SLC45A2 in ancient 
DNA there is room for interpretation.

Chris Stringer's Just So stories may become yesterday's news. Wolpoff and 
Caspari challenged that theory about 30 years ago, partially because 
Stringer's time line wasn't realistic.

Perhaps they will revisit the M haplogroup which has long been an anomaly. 
The Just So story says L3 left Africa and mutated to M subclades of which 
are common in Asia, including the Indian subcontinent.  Except M1, which 
is found in North Africa. Did some M people on their way to Japan get 
homesick and go back to Africa?
