I read the full paper and I’m not qualified to evaluate the validity of the model being proposed but I find the idea that the population was

about 1000 individuals, which persisted for about 100,000 years

rather implausible. Implausible things sometimes turn out to be true but models frequently turn out to be wrong so if I were to get, I would bet on the latter.
