It was, but as with many of these things it's interesting to see the implications. Histories used to be full of Dorian invasions etc

"By the middle of the Bronze Age, the DNA of people on the mainland showed signs of ancestry from Central and Eastern Europe."  Isn't this where the Dorians were supposed to have come from?  Don't think you claim invasions from that, though.

It can be difficult to get a true picture of the Dorians.  All a bit of a grey area.
