Now that E-V13 has been found in early Neolithic Spain, it also disproves Dienekes' theory that E-V13 is of Greek origin and expanded during the Bronze Age.

Truth be told, I never understood Dienekes hypothesis there with a Bronze Age expansion, anyways. There's no evidence for a colonization of Iberia from the eastern Mediterranean during the bronze age, anyways, and certainly not from the Greeks. The first people from the Eastern Mediterranean to arrive in Iberia were the Phoenicians. The Greeks didn't have any presence in Iberia before the 6th century BC, and there certainly never was a large-scale settlement by the Greeks in Iberia (the impact of the Phoenicians is a bit more debatable, though, since Andalusia had an extensive number of Phoenician settlements).
