Haplogroup E-M96
"[8] In 2015, Trobetta et al. suggested an East African origin for haplogroup E, stating: "our phylogeographic analysis, based on thousands of samples worldwide, suggests that the radiation of haplogroup E started about 58 ka, somewhere in sub-Saharan Africa, with a higher posterior probability (0.73) for an eastern African origin.Haplogroup E1a is split into two main branches: E1a1 (E-M44) which has been mostly found in Europe, West Asia and among Ashkenazi Jews; and E1a2 (E-Z958) which has been exclusively identified in Sub-Saharan Africa.[17] Haplogroup E-M2 is the most prevalent subclade of E in Sub-Saharan Africa and is strongly associated with expansion of Bantu speakers.E-M215 is far less common in West, Central, and Southern Africa, though it has been observed among some Khoisan speakers[18] and among Niger–Congo speakers in Senegambia,[19] Guinea-Bissau,[20] Burkina Faso,[21] Ghana, Gabon,[22] the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda,[23] Namibia, and South Africa.Haplogroup E1a is split into two branches: E1a1 (E-M44) which has been mostly found in Europe, West Asia and among Ashkenazi Jews; and E1a2 (E-Z958) which has been exclusively identified in Sub-Saharan Africa.Another descendant of E-V38, E-M329 (E1b1a2), has been observed in an Ethiopian hunter-gatherer from 4,200 ybp, and is mostly found in males from the Horn of Africa and Arabian Peninsula.The highest concentration of the haplogroup has been found among the Alur (66.67%),[28] Hema (38.89%),[28] Rimaibe (27.03%),[21] Mbuti (25.00%),[21] Daba (22.22%),[21] Eviya (20.83%),[22] Zulu (20.69%),[28] and Kenyan Bantus (17.24%).[28] Private commercial DNA testing at Family Tree DNA shows numerous E-M75 males originating from the Arabian Peninsula (Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Yemen, and the United Arab Emirates), and among Ashkenazi Jews.
