[QUOTE]Originally posted by xyyman: [QB] [ author="@djoser" source="/post/11605/thread" timestamp="1421370740"]We can clearly see at K4 Western Bantus are genetically different than Eastern Bantus. [IMG]http://i60.tinypic.com/2vacj7s.png[/IMG] [/quote] Among Niger-Congo populations, geography is the main factor explaining the genetic differences, with a remarkable similarity among western populations (Yorubas and Mandenka), which could reflect a burst in the expansion to the west, related to iron technology and Niger-Congo languages. (ii) The southeastern Bantu from Mozambique are REMARKABLY DIFFERENTIATED from the western Niger-Congo speaking populations, such as the Mandenka and the Yoruba, and also differentiated from geographically CLOSER Eastern Bantu samples, such as Luhya. These results SUGGEST that the Bantu expansion of languages, which started B5000 years ago at the present day border region of Nigeria and Cameroon, and was probably related to the spread of agriculture and the emergence of iron technology,17–19 was NOT a demographic homogeneous migration with population replacement in the southernmost part of the continent, but acquired more divergence, likely because of the integration of pre-Bantu people. The complexity of the expansion of Bantu languages to the south (with an eastern and a western route20), might have produced differential degrees of assimilation of previous populations of hunter gatherers. This assimilation has been detected through uniparental markers because of the genetic comparison of nowadays hunter gatherers (Pygmies and Khoisan) with Bantu speaker agriculturalists.2,21–24 Nonetheless, the singularity of the southeastern population of Mozambique (poorly related to present Khoisan) could be attributed to a complete assimilate on of ancient genetically differentiated populations (presently unknown) by Bantu speakers in southeastern Africa, without leaving any pre-Bantu population in the area to compare with =========== The Bantu(Niger Congo) Expansion never occurred!!!!
