The problem with Tradition

The problem with the Japheth tradition is that it says that Japheth was the father of the Indo-European peoples and because he is the father of these people this is why they have "expanded" over the Earth . The problem with this is that the Indo-European people are one haplogroup (Hap R) of the NOP peoples or the North Peoples , and if you throw K into that equation then Haplogroup R is one Haplogroup of  9 or 10 Haplogroups. Either way to say that Japheth and his descendants are just one haplogroup is not realistic and doesn't make any sense. There is a similar problem with Shem where they say that he is just the Afro-Asian or Semitic Language family and peoples , there are SEVERAL problems with that belief , the first one would be that the Egyptians , Ethiopians , and Canaanites all spoke the Semitic language in very ancient times and they were Hamite groups , and secondly Afro-Asian language family has DNA members from both Haplogroup J and Haplogroup E which are on two different sides of the YAP mutation (i.e. different families). Also Haplogroup I and Haplogroup J are close , if this was a family tree they would be twins and Haplogroup I is in Europe not in the middle East and doesn't speak the Afro-Asian Languages. The biggest problem with the traditional view is that they are saying that Japheth was one DNA haplogroup and Shem was one DNA haplogroup and then Ham was the other 18 , this just doesn't make sense.
