Interesting paper. The authors finding are suspect becvause he claims the founders of this haplogroup probably spoke Afro-asiatic language.The evidence indicates that this group is a myth because Semitic and Berber languages do not agree with Egyptian.
His idea that E_M35 originated in the Sahel is interesting. It agrees with my hypothesis of the ancestors of people who carried this haplogroup originated in the Saharan highlands and migrated into East/Northeast Africa.
The idea that most African haplogroups originated in East is just a continuation by geneticist of the old "Hamitic" myth .

It can't be the hamitic myth if it includes all African populations including West and East Africans (and AE of course). It's more like the reverse of the hamitic myth.
