“…Through the characterization of key demographic events in Arabia, Fernandes et al () proposed an Epipaleolithic migration around 10 000 years ago of some Eurasian mtDNA sublineages to North Africa, namely HV, K, J1d1a, J2a2b, T2c1, T2b, R0a, X, U5, U5b. Some Sub‐Saharan sublineages, such as L3b1, L3e1, L3e2, and L3e5a, were introduced in North Africa across the Sahel Belt around 8000–6000 years ago (Hernández et al, ; Soares et al, ). North African subhaplogroups U6b, M1b1 (Pennarun et al, ), U6a1a and M1a1 (Fernandes et al, ) appeared later at the Capsian era.…”
