Dravidan is old human ethnicities, we can see from human migration root and also their skin tone, so it is still possible some of them migrate in ancient time. Dravidan does have some similar DNA with European about 20-30 % and has close linguistic relation as well
But the main source of European must be coming from African directly since the distance between 2 continents are not much. In the ancient time I think African continent and Europe is still united.
This is why I said Dravidan is not the source, but they does give additional DNA component to current European people.
All Eurasians (both Europeans and Asians) come from a small group of people who left Africa 60,000 years ago, so Europeans can't be genetically closer to Africans than to other Eurasians.
Besides Dravidian is a language family, not a genetic thing. The native hunter-gatherer ancestry of South Asians is called AASI in the scientific community and it did not contribute to the formation of Europeans.
