"Firstly BR*(xDE, JR) haplotypes appeared in two distinct clusters. Given the particularly crude assignment of NRY to this haplogroup, which encompasses a number of prominent subclades, it is likely that at least one of these represent the sub-Saharan African-specific Haplogroup B, while the other cluster may contain a typically non-sub-Saharan African haplogroup (for example Haplogroups F, G and I have been found at low frequencies amongst typically African ethnic groups in the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe [20], presumably because of European (especially Portuguese) introgression during the Slave trade."
K, P and old Rs are in North Africa and Europe too.You have to dload this table. The picture has it. Europe(including Portugal) has mostly recent R branches. K, P and old Rs are like 1.3 to 0.1% of Portugal. The Nigerian location has about the same frequencies. Obviously if K,P, and old Rs came Portugal they would have come with a lot more of those long young R branches highlighted in the 2nd pic. The Portuguese slave raper model doesn't work.
What does work, is the fact that the father and brother of K is in the study. Notice how BR*(DE, JR) (Which I think is basically unidentified F) ie the father of K and was 7% of the 1000+ Nigerians polled. So they ignored the African father sitting there in the test at 7%, which is as higher than anywhere in Europe and presume a Portuguese daddy.
Am I missing something? Look at the phylogentic tree. It places BR*(DE, JR) at the basal point of K like an unidentified F. That's why F lacks branches. 7% is huge in Africa. Then you see that F is 3.4% in ISS (Italy Sardinia and Sicily) and 3.8% in Algeria. Looks like an ancient migration pattern. And like I said, its right next to bro.
