Afro-Asiatic is one of Africa's major language families.
We explore the ancestry associated with Afro-Asiatic speakers. It is believed that E3b by both Dr. Keita and Ehret are associated with expansion of Afro-Asiatic speakers into Northeast, North, and ultimately the Near East.
Like E3b Afro Asiatic has an African origin, with only a few subsets of E3b observed outside. Afro-Asiatic only has one language present outside of the continent and that is the baby language of Semitic. It has been believed to have back migrated three times, once among the Phoenicians (Carthage), the other among the Ethio-Semitic speakers from Arabia to the Horn, and the last revolving the spread of Islam.
Afro-Asiatic speakers do have Eurasian variants J, T in common, although it is low in frequency in East and most of Northeast Africa. It represents a back migration of Semitic speakers that occurred during the time periods mentioned, although it may be older in some cases.
Afro-Asiatic speakers are indigenous to Africa (excluding Semitic populations outside) and the genetic variation conforms to this as well.
Dr. S.O.Y Keita speaks of the misconceptions of Ancient Egypt and Afro-Asiatic languages.
Afro-Asiatic populations like Niger-Kordofanian populations are mostly YAP derived, but most of these populations share extensive genetic admixture with hunter-gatherer (Khoisan) and Nilo-Saharan speaking populations who are also overwhelmingly YAP derived (like most Africans), but have more ancestral cargo in their genes.
