[This message has been edited by Super car (edited 19 October 2005).][/b][/QUOTE] Thanks for the correction, we had that discussion on the Nile Valley forum, indeed E3a is often labeled as Bantu related haplogroup but is found in the Nile Valley, among Saharans and West Africans and predates the Bantu expansion. The Tuaregs who in my sense are probably one of the most important group genetically with respect to the origin of the E haplogroups and the split between E3a and E3b carry both E3a and E3b and have the highest amount recorded so far of haplogroup E parent of E3a and E3b, and are not connected to the Bantu expansion. It seems that the Sahara is central to the dispersal of Africans within Africa. Concerning the Sans, since E3a apparently is not solely related to Bantu speaking people, and the presence of San looking people in the Sahara area had been revealed, is it possible that this haplogroup was present among San before the Bantu migration especially since we know that the Sans were hunter gatherers isolated from other groups? Why farmers would revert to hunter gathering and immerse themselves among hunter gatherers? That's what is inferred when geneticists link E3a to the Bantu migration. It’s like you have a car and you decide to go back to a horse. Relaxx [/QB][/QUOTE]
