A recent study published in Nature sheds light on the genetic legacy of the expansion of Bantu-speaking peoples in Africa. The research suggests that the Bantu-speaking populations in sub-Saharan Africa likely originated in western Africa before moving south and east in consistent waves. The study is unique in that it contains genetic data of both living and past populations. Luca Pagani, one of the authors, provided convincing answers to the long-standing debate about the routes and effect of the Bantu expansion on the African genetic landscape.

DeepNewz also picks up this Science story. @razibkhan readers already know that Bantu expansion started from West Africa, then spread east and south in likely multiple waves. Luca Pagani: New Study in Nature Reveals Genetic Legacy of Bantu-speaking Peoples' Expansion in Africa…
