Just to be clear my point is not spefically about haplogroup t. But the assumption that migration from the Levant into Africa during the Neolithic as some catch all explanation for how haplogroups are distribution.
Nilotes found to carry Haplogroup T (T-M70) shared with Fulani, Egyptians & South Cushites

J wasn’t present in the Levant during the Neolithic. Actually try to learn and read before arguing with people
Damn thats crazy.
Are you sure? It seems strange that this haplogroup whos origin is in the caucuses or iran somehow didnt reach the Levant till the bronze age.

The argument made is about the hypothetical diversification of J-P58 in Arabia, Mesopotamia and the Levant. This is a no brainer. P58 and sister branches are some of the most successful lineages among Proto-Semitic speakers, but there's no doubt about it being intrusive in the (post-)Neolithic Levantine cultures we often associate with Afroasiatic.

Btw, this also mirrors the introduction of YDNA T among Levantines, which supposedly happened earlier. The 22 remains from Peqi'in were a homogenous population, modeled as roughly being 57% Natufian-like, 26% Anatolian N and 17% Iran Ch. 9 males out of 10 were hg T.

It's easy to roughly understand the role that J-P58 and others took into shaping early Semitic-speaking communities and how it got dispersed in the Middle East and beyond.
