I can look at almost any DNA paper prior to 2000 and probably find errors in it. There simply wasn't enough data to make a statement about what is or isn't in this field.
Your comment about climate is a little inane. I look at Climate at a major force in population displacements! The whole Neolithic movement into western Europe was probably due to shift of the Trade winds south c. 5K BC and which dried up the Sahara, moderated Southern Europe and cooled down northern Europe a tad. I think there is a little argument that changes in climate affect food production and water availability which are both necessary for human life to exist and thrive.
A good knowledge of climactic conditions over the Millenia is very helpful in understanding population movements.
