Eastern African genetic history
The genetic history of Eastern Africa encompasses the genetic history of the people of Eastern Africa . The Sahara served as a trans-regional passageway and place of dwelling for people in Africa during various humid phases [ 1] [ 2] [ 3] and periods throughout the history of Africa .[ 4] [ 5]
Archaic Human DNA
While Denisovan and Neanderthal ancestry in non-Africans outside of Africa are more certain, 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 slave trade period, East Africans, who carried haplogroup E1b1a-M2 , expanded into 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., Central Africans , East Africans ) bearing haplogroup L1 diverged.[ 20] In 130,000 BP, Africans bearing haplogroup L5 diverged in East Africa .[ 20] Between 130,000 BP and 75,000 BP, behavioral modernity emerged among Southern Africans and long-term interactions between the regions of Southern Africa and Eastern Africa became established.[ 20] Between 75,000 BP and 60,000 BP, Africans bearing haplogroup L3 emerged in East Africa and eventually migrated into and became present in modern West Africans , Central Africans , and non-Africans .[ 20] Amid the Holocene, including the Holocene Climate Optimum in 8000 BP, Africans bearing haplogroup L2 spread within West Africa and Africans bearing haplogroup L3 spread within East Africa.[ 20] As the largest migration since the Out of Africa migration , migration from Sub-Saharan Africa toward the North Africa occurred, by West Africans, Central Africans, and East Africans, resulting in migrations into Europe and Asia ; consequently, Sub-Saharan African mitochondrial DNA was introduced into Europe and Asia.[ 20] During the early period of the Holocene , 50% of Sub-Saharan African mitochondrial DNA was introduced into North Africa by West Africans and the other 50% was introduced by East Africans .[ 20] During the modern period, a greater number of West Africans introduced Sub-Saharan African mitochondrial DNA into North Africa than East Africans.[ 20] Between 15,000 BP and 7000 BP, 86% of Sub-Saharan African mitochondrial DNA was introduced into Southwest Asia by East Africans , largely in the region of Arabia , which constitute 50% of Sub-Saharan African mitochondrial DNA in modern 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 Kenya and Tanzania to South Africa , eastern Bantu-speaking Africans constitute a north to south genetic cline ; additionally, from 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]
Across all areas of Madagascar , the average ancestry for the Malagasy people was found to be 4% West Eurasian , 37% Austronesian , and 59% Bantu .[ 22]
Medical DNA
The genomes of Africans commonly found to undergo adaptation are regulatory DNA , and many cases of adaptation found among Africans relate to diet , physiology , and evolutionary pressures from pathogens.[ 21] Throughout Sub-Saharan Africa , genetic adaptation (e.g., rs334 mutation, Duffy blood group , increased rates of G6PD deficiency , sickle cell disease ) to malaria has been found among Sub-Saharan Africans , which may have initially developed in 7300 BP.[ 21] Sub-Saharan Africans have more than 90% of the Duffy-null genotype.[ 23] In the highlands of Ethiopia , genetic adaptation (e.g., rs10803083, an SNP associated with the rate and function of hemoglobin ; BHLHE41, a gene associated with circadian rhythm and hypoxia response; EGNL1, a gene strongly associated with oxygen homeostasis in mammals) to hypoxia and low atmospheric pressure has been found among the Amhara people, which may have developed within the past 5000 years.[ 21] In Tanzania , genetic adaptation (e.g., greater amount of amylase genes than in African populations that consume low-starch foods) has been found in the Hadza people due to a food diet that especially includes consumption of tubers .[ 21]
