Paths From Babel: Japheth & the "handful of Bronze Age forefathers"

God shall enlarge Japheth....
Genesis 9:27

"In the Genesis 10 Table of Nations, the descendents of Japheth (eldest son of Noah) migrated toward Europe after the Tower of Babel disperson.

Science Daily reported that most Europeans are descended from a “handful of Bronze Age forefathers,” (not that the forefathers were so tiny as to fit in a hand).
Geneticists from the University of Leicester analyzed Y-chromosome sequences to determine that the recent paternity among European men occurred “due to a ‘population explosion’ a few thousand years ago.” Such a recent event should seem surprising to evolutionists who usually measure human ancestry in hundreds of thousands of years."
