They have found archaic hominids in West Africa. I am not talking about them I am talking about anatomically modern human beings.

Haplogroup B (M60)
M60 defines haplogroup B, an ancient African lineage that originated some 50,000 to 60,000 years ago. As with most very old lines of descent, it has a broad dispersal. Today it is found across the African continent. Many different African peoples share this genetic marker. Often these unique populations, like the Bayaka and Mbuti pygmies, are themselves quite ancient.

The peopling of West Africa is quite recent compare to the peopling of Central, East and Southern Africa based on genetics and archeology, however it is of interest to notice that Haplogroup B is the most common ancient haplogroups outside the East-Southern Africa corridor...

can you give me the website with the migration lines of Africa that you have the picture of? I would like to see the whole thing

National Geographics, genographics is where it came from.

National Geographic: The Genographic Project by Dr. Spencer Wells
This website is not easy to navigate, but that being said

Unfortunately either Wells or the folks under hime working in the genographic project have a hard time making clear the African origins of E3b. Posts: 26267 | From: Atlanta, Georgia, USA | Registered: Feb 2005

They "say" it is Near East o which is ambigous. However when you look at there map, it shows E3b orginating correctly, in East Africa.
Did my y haplo group testing with them, recently.
