Evidence from Y-chromosome analysis for a late exclusively eastern expansion of the Bantu-speaking people

Abstract: The expansion of the Bantu-speaking people (EBSP) during the past 3000-5000 years is an event of great importance in the history of humanity. Anthropology, archaeology, linguistics and, in recent decades, genetics have been used to elucidate some of the events and processes involved. Although it is generally accepted that the EBSP has its origin in the so-called Bantu Homeland situated in the area of the border between Nigeria and the Grassfields of Cameroon, and that it followed both western and eastern route… Show more

“…The modal haplogroup in the Palenque was E-U175 (27%), but the two districts of the village had different modal haplogroups (details below). Notably, there were only three haplogroups present in sub-Saharan African groups not observed in the Palenque dataset: DE-YAP which is found at very low frequency in Nigeria [43]; A-M13 which forms a very basal clade in the NRY phylogeny and has a wide distribution at low frequency in Africa [44][45][46]; and E-U181 which has been proposed as a signature of an exclusively eastern EBSP [19]. P-92R7 and R1a1, both widely considered to be 'non-African origin haplogroups' [47], were observed at 18% and 2.7%, respectively, in Palenque while observed as a singleton or at low frequencies and completely absent in sub-Saharan African groups, respectively.…”

“…At the UEP þ STR level, the modal haplotype was one STR mutation different from the EBSP modal haplotype (i.e. E-sY81-15-12-21-10-11-13) [19] in Abajo (E-sY81-16-12-21-10-11-13; 10.6%) and in Arriba (E-sY81-15-12-21-10-12-13; 19.2%), while the EBSP modal haplotype was at a frequency of 5.9% and 5.8%, respectively.…”

“…the raising and herding of livestock) across Africa and the subsequent movement east and south from Central West Africa of agricultural technology together with the branch of Niger-Congo languages known as Bantu ( Mitchell, 2002 ; Barham and Mitchell, 2008 ). The extent to which this cultural expansion was accompanied by people is an active research question, but an increasing number of molecular studies indicate that the expansion of languages was accompanied by the diffusion of people ( Beleza et al, 2005 ; Berniell-Lee et al, 2009 ; Tishkoff et al, 2009 ; Pakendorf et al, 2011 ; de Filippo et al, 2012 ; Ansari Pour et al, 2013 ; Li et al, 2014 ; González-Santos et al, 2015 ).…”
