African American physician and anthropologist. He is affiliated with the

African peoples.
In this 6 Part Lecture Keita speaks on the "Bio-Cultural"
Origins and aspects of the
Ancient populations of the
Nile Valley. He includes details on the Afro-Asiatic
Language Family,
Genetics of the P2 Clade,
Skull Measurements and
Limb Proportions.

Ethiopia.
Of the 7 {Possibly 8} Language groups in the family, only 1 made its way out of Africa

Omotic as well as
Ongota once labeled as
Cushitic could in fact be language isolates and not Afro-Asiatic at all. OR they were possible the first to diverge.
Beja, also sometimes classified as Cushitic could also be a separate family in the Afro-Asiatic Phylum
