The proportions of various human Y-DNA haplogroups vary significantly from one ethnic or language group to another in Africa. Data in the table below are based on genetic research.

Haplogroup A is a human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup, which includes all living human Y chromosomes. Bearers of extant sub-clades of haplogroup A are almost exclusively found in Africa (or among the African diaspora), in contrast with haplogroup BT, bearers of which participated in the Out of Africa migration of early modern humans.

Haplogroup E-M2, also known as E1b1a1-M2, is a human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup. E-M2 is primarily distributed within Africa followed by West Asia.

E1b-M81 is typically the most dominant haplogroup in Northwest Africa suggesting NW African ancestry via the male line, although, of course, there are other lineages as well such as E1b-V65. The distribution of E1b-M78 tends to increase in Northeast Africa, but declines in NW Africa.

Nov 10, 2021 · Y-DNA haplogroup E, with subgroups E1b1b and E1b1a, is the most common Y-chromosome haplogroup in Africa. Explore its deep origins, variant names (E-M2, E-M215, and E-V58), global spread to Europe and the Americas, and and consider the best YDNA test for …

When grouped according to geography, the Southern and Central African meta-groups share the most haplotypes (55), with fewer haplotypes shared between Central and Western Africa (23), Central and Eastern Africa (21), or Western and Southern Africa (26).

Here, we reinvestigate a rare deep-rooting African Y-chromosomal lineage by sequencing the whole genomes of three Nigerian men described in 2003 as carrying haplogroup DE* Y chromosomes, and analyzing them in the context of a calibrated worldwide Y …

It has been proposed that the east African clade M1 supports a single origin of haplogroup M in Africa. To test the validity of that hypothesis, the phylogeographic analysis of 13 complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences and 261 partial …

Mar 26, 2014 · Most Y-chromosome haplogroup diversity in Africa, however, is present within macrohaplogroup E that seem to have appeared 21 000–32 000 YBP somewhere between the Red Sea and Lake Chad.

Haplogroup V88 has the greatest frequency in Africa. It is predominately carried by Chadic speakers, and ranges between 2-60% among Central African Niger-Congo speakers (Cruciani et al., 2010).
