I think the recent paper about R1b V88 in Africa was sort of a stick in spokes of R1b being carriers of Indo European language. Don't you think?
None of african tribes high in R1b V88 speak IE or related to IE languages. They speak local family languages or some insulate language. This also makes an area in Near East, from which they started their journey, less likely being proto IE homeland. R1b original area likely being South of Caucasus or somewhere in Anatolia.
I'm not saying it is a done deal by all means, but R1b V88 fails to confirm R1b as bearers of proto Indo European language.
