“The position of L3/M and N haplogroups in different sub-clades may suggest this macrohaplogroup have originated in east Africa prior to the migration of the first Homo sapiens to Asia. The L3/M/N conventionally associated with the mitochondrial out-of-Africa scenario is widely distributed in Sudanese groups unknown of having history of migration or admixture with Asian or European groups, consistent with our suggestion that the major mitochondrial haplotype differentiation occurred well prior to the exodus event (Elhassan et al., 2014), then propagating the N carriers through migration and drift. For example the presence of Haplogroups RO in populations like Beja, Arabs Nubians and Masalit, could hardly be taken as a result of migration from Asia to East Africa as suggested by similar presence in the Arabian peninsula (Abu-Amero et al., 2008; Gandini et al., 2016), given the cultural, genetic ethnic and demographic background of these groups. Some authors argue that this haplogroup, as well as other Eurasian haplogroups including U3 and TI among Beja, may have been brought to Sudan by two routes one from North Africa, and the other through the present Ethiopia and Eritrea (Kivisild et al., 2004; Krings et al., 1999). On the other hand, an African origin of these macro haplogroups has been argued for in the literature” (Quintana-Murci et al., 1999) [[User:Terminator3883|Terminator3883]] ([[User talk:Terminator3883|talk]]) 23:02, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
