They must have passed right over it on the way back from Egypt. Also I am willing to bet that Ethiopians were more affected by J in the Neolithic than Egyptians. This is just an idea based on the little amount of haplogroup J they have.

I understand that Africa is seperated into 3 main haplogroups. How region specific are these groups? If she was to take a full MtDNA test, how small a region could she locate her genetic line too?<BR/><BR/> Thanks nick.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01299865344910277511noreply@blogger.com
