Proto-Afroasiatic homeland and dispersal

Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Proto-Afroasiatic homeland and dispersal from Northeastern Africa. Genetic evidence on Proto-Afroasiatic speakers suggest that they resembled, but were not identical, with the Ancient Levant Natufians and Iberomarusian Taforalt populations. Autosomal genetic data on ancient and modern Afroasiatic-speakers point to the dominance of a specific West-Eurasian-linked (close to the Natufian and Arabian) component, which diverged from other West-Eurasian lineages in the Middle East (~26kya) and subsequently migrated into Northeastern Africa (~25-15kya). Smaller amounts of a Nilotic-related component was found among Levant Natufians, suggesting some minor forms of contact and geneflow between proto-Afroasiatic speakers and Nilotic groups in Northeastern Africa, prior to the dispersal of Afroasiatic languages.
