[QUOTE]Originally posted by Supercar: [QB] [QUOTE] Our phylogenetic analyses of genetic data (mitochondrial control region DNA sequence from three Semitic-speaking populations) demonstrates that Ethiopic Semitic populations are basal relative to non-African Semitic-speakers. While greater antiquity of African populations relative to non-Africans is not surprising, genetic diversity has never been explicitly compared between African and non-African Semitic-speakers. This result suggests that if Ethiopian Semitic did originate in Arabia, it may have been introduced to Ethiopia in the absence of significant gene flow from a less diverse and evolutionary younger non-African population.[/QUOTE]Implications seem to be concordant with the Neolithic or early Holocene spread of proto-Afrasan from North East Africa into the Levant, and perhaps from multiple dispersion points along the Red sea [Steven Brandt] at some points in time. Ps: [i]...the cautious interpretation of the evidence on [b]ancestral Afro-Asiatic[/b] indicates that it was spoken by non-food producers, and [b]emerged in Africa in the Horn or southeastern Sahara[/b] (Bender,1975; Blench, 1993; Diakonoff, 1981, 1998;Ehret, 1984, 1995; Fleming, 1974, pers. com-mun.; Greenberg, 1966, 1973; Newman, pers.commun.; Nichols, 1997).[/i] - Keita.
