Paleolithic West African Origins

"Shriner et al. (2018) similarly suggests that haplogroup E1b1a-V38 migrated across the Green Sahara from east to west around 19,000 years ago, where E1b1a1-M2 may have subsequently originated in West Africa or Central Africa. Shriner et al. (2018) also traces this migration via sickle cell mutation, which likely originated during the Green Sahara period.[3]"

Problem: this hypothesis is not supported by archaeology. No E1b1a, or YRI, Gambian/Jola or Eastern Bantu dna has been found in West Africa prior to 1,000 BC, if that. 3,000 years ago...

"In the supposed cradle of Bantu languages and, therefore, Bantu people, these people are basically ‘pygmy' hunter-gatherers," says Lluís Quintana-Murci, a population geneticist at the Pasteur Institute and CNRS, the French national research agency, who was not part of the new study."
