Diop stated in "The African Origins of Civilization", and particularly on the page cited above! The first inhabitants of the West & Central regions of Africa were not "Niger-Congo" speaking populations, but instead were the Twa (so called "Pygmies"). ​ Ancient West African foragers in the context of African population history Mark Lipson, Isabelle Ribot, […]David Reich Nature (2020) Our knowledge of ancient human population structure in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly prior to the advent of food production, remains limited. Here we report genome-wide DNA data from four children—two of whom were buried approximately 8,000 years ago and two 3,000 years ago—from Shum Laka (Cameroon), one of the earliest known archaeological sites....However, the genome-wide ancestry profiles of all four individuals are most similar to those of present-day hunter-gatherers from western Central Africa, which implies that populations in western Cameroon today—as well as speakers of Bantu languages from across the continent—are not descended substantially from the population represented by these four people[/i] [/QB][/QUOTE]The above page does not prove the origin of mankind was in the Nile Valley or spread from there Some the oldest humans remains were found near the Omo River in southern Ethiopia but that is not part of the Nile Basin. And there is another very old site in Morocco. Also this Diop page does not say on this page when this peopling of Africa from the Nile occurred, 200,000 years ago or 2,000. It doesn't say You mention this 2020 article https://www.researchgate.net/publication/338750008_Ancient_West_African_foragers_in_the_context_of_African_population_history [b] Ancient West African foragers in the context of African population history[/b] nature research January 2020Nature 577(7792) DOI:10.1038/s41586-020-1929-1 however looking at a quote from it [QUOTE] Linguistic and genetic evidence points to western Cameroon as the most likely area for the development of Bantu languages and as the ultimate source of subsequent migrations of Bantu-speakers, and—although the regional mid-Holocene archaeological record is sparse—Shum Laka has previously been highlighted as a site that was potentially important in the early phase of this process1–4,6–11. However, the genetic profiles of our four sampled individuals—even by about 3,000 bp, when the spreads of Bantu languages and of ancestry associated with Bantu-speakers were already underway—[b]are very different from those of most speakers of Niger–Congo languages today, which implies that these individuals are not representative of the primary source population(s) that were ancestral to present-day Bantu-speakers. These results neither support nor contradict a central role for the Grassfields area in the origins of Bantuspeakers, and it may be that multiple, highly differentiated populations formerly lived in the region—with potentially either high or low levels of linguistic diversity. [/b] It would not be surprising if the Shum Laka site itself was used (either successively or concurrently) by multiple groups with different ancestry, cultural traditions or languages1 , evidence of which may not be visible from the collection of remains as preserved today [/QUOTE]All this is saying is they found remains of people at a site in Cameroon carrying YDNA groups B and A (two from around 8,000 years ago and two from around 3,000 years ago) That doesn't mean at those times there weren't people in other places in Cameroon or in anywhere in West or Central Africa that were of haplogroup E, Bantu speakers also there and Egypt and the Nile Valley aren't mentioned in the article you have no argument [/QB][/QUOTE]
