The genetic history of Eastern Africa encompasses the

humid phases[1][2][3] and periods throughout the history of Africa.[4][5]

Archaic Human DNA

While

archaic human ancestry in Africans is less certain and is too early to be established with certainty.[6]

Y-Chromosomal DNA

As of 19,000 years ago, Africans, bearing haplogroup E1b1a-V38, likely traversed across the Sahara, from east to west.[18]

Before the

Arabia, resulting in various rates of inheritance throughout Arabia (e.g., 2.8% Qatar, 3.2% Yemen, 5.5% United Arab Emirates, 7.4% Oman).[19]

Mitochondrial DNA

In 150,000 BP, Africans (e.g.,

Southwest Asia.[20] In the modern period, 68% of Sub-Saharan African mitochondrial DNA was introduced by East Africans and 22% was introduced by West Africans, which constitutes 50% of Sub-Saharan African mitochondrial DNA in modern Southwest Asia.[20]

Autosomal DNA

From the region of

eastern Africa to toward southern Africa, evidence of genetic homogeneity is indicative of a serial founder effect and admixture events having occurred between Bantu-speaking Africans and other African populations by the time the Bantu migration had spanned into South Africa.[21]
