Archaeological data indicate trade between the HOA and Arabia by at least 8 ka [30,31] and genetic analyses of mitochondrial and Y chromosome data suggest much earlier migrations into the HOA. Mitochondrial data are suggestive of as many as three waves of prehistoric non-African migration into the HOA. First, HOA populations carry several unique M1 lineages of the otherwise South and East Asian mitochondrial haplogroup M [13,32–34]. Many of these HOA M1 lineages have deep roots, diverging from M1 representatives elsewhere 20–30 ka [34–36]. Second, representatives of N1a and N2a in the HOA diverged from their most closely related haplotypes in the Middle East and the Caucasus 15–20 ka [37]. Third, in the Eurasian mitochondrial HV1 and R0a lineages there are several sub-haplogroups (HV1a3, HV1b1, R0a2b, R0a2g) that are found in both the HOA and the Arabian Peninsula.

I can only imagine the new wave of "We are not black; we are Caucasian" generation this article will give rise to in the near future.![]()
"People in East Africa have far more Eurasian ancestry than previously thought, owing up to a quarter of their DNA to ancient Asians and Europeans who migrated into the region, according to a study that could reshape the way we interpret human history."

it's the other way around. caucasions are somalisoid.![]()
We Somalis are white people dipped in chocolate or caramel depending on our skin tone.I can only imagine the new wave of "We are not black; we are Caucasian" generation this article will give rise to in the near future.![]()
