Sub-Saharan African Paternal Admxiture in Caucasoids

Sub-Saharan African Paternal Admxiture in Caucasoids

Two recent papers [1, 2] are a first step to detecting Sub-Saharan African admixture in living Caucasoids.
According to [1] E-P2*, E-M2 and E-M33 are restricted to Sub-Saharan Africans and appear rarely elsewhere. According to [2], E(xE3b) is also restricted to Sub-Saharan Africans. The combined frequency of these haplogroups are (if more than one samples are available, they are both given):
12.7% Berber (north-central Morocco)
10.3% Palestinians
10% Mozabite Berbers
7.3% United Arab Emirates
6.8/1.3/0% in Arab (Morocco)
6.8% Saharawish (North Africa)
6.3% in Berber (Morocco)
5.8% Moyen Atlas Berbers
4.3% Turkish Cypriots
4% Northern Portuguese
3.6% Bedouins
3.4% Tunisian
3.4% Marrakesh Berbers
2.9% Albanians (Calabria, Italy)
2.9/0% Turks (Istanbul)
2.5% Berber (southern Morocco)
2% Southern Portuguese
1.6% Sardinians
1.3% Italian (Calabria)
0.9% Iraqi
0.6% Pakistani
Of course these numbers should be interpreted as evidence of existence of sub-Saharan admixture, not as a necessarily accurate quantification of its precise extent, which is however likely to be low in most populations.
