Although both Nilo-Saharan and Niger-Congo speaking peoples are encountered here, the most diversified group is the Chadic belonging to the Afro-Asiatic language phylum. Investigation is focused on the proposed ancient migration of Chadic pastoralists from Eastern Africa that was based on linguistic study. Thanks to the whole mitochondrial genome sequencing of 16 L3f haplotypes, the study support an East African origin of mitochondrial L3f3 clade that is present almost exclusively within Chadic speaking people living in Chad Basin. Ancestral haplogroup L3f must have emerged soon after the Out-of-Africa migration (around 57,100 ± 9,400 YBP), but the "Chadic" L3f3 clade has much less internal variation, suggesting an expansion during the Holocene period about 8,000 ± 2,500 YBP. The time estimates are compared with archaeological, linguistic and climatic data.
