Hi Yair,
Did you send out an email maybe within the klast 6-12 months with references to DNA findings on the majoriy of modern African Americans. The findings were that they are mostly descended from a broad group now in Western (I think) Africa. But that group seems to have migrated there from Eastern Africa south of Egypt (I think). I remember reading something like this and thought I saved it but now can't find it.
Could you please send it to me again if that did come from you or you know where the DNA Info is.
Thanks.
John

In general DNA studies show that Afro-Americans in the USA are predominantly from West Africa though some elements from Central and Eastern Africa also exist. Historical studies agree that the populations of West Africa came from further east, from the region of Sudan south of Egypt.
