Recent aDNA research has provided evidence for the spread of Pastoral Neolithic herders from eastern Africa into southern Africa. [61] [62] In the western Sahel the rise of settled communities occurred largely as a result of the domestication of millet and of sorghum. Archaeology points to sizable urban populations in West Africa later ...

The Pastoral Neolithic was a period in Africa's prehistory marking the beginning of food production on the continent following the Later Stone Age. In contrast to the Neolithic in other parts of the world, which saw the development of farming societies, the first form of African food production was mobile pastoralism , [ 38 ] [ 39 ] or ways of ...
West-Eurasian back-migrations started in the early Holocene or already earlier in the Paleolithic period (30-15kya), followed by pre-Neolithic and Neolithic migration events from the Middle East, mostly affecting Northern Africa, the Horn of Africa, and wider regions of the Sahel zone and East Africa.

The Pastoral Neolithic of Africa. The Pastoral Neolithic (5000 BP - 1200 BP) [1] refers to a period in Africa's prehistory, specifically Tanzania and Kenya, marking the beginning of food production, livestock domestication, and pottery use in the region following the Later Stone Age.
In East Africa, the beginning of the Pastoral Neolithic follows the Late Stone Age around 5000 BP. [10] The earliest instances of food production in East Africa are found in Kenya and Tanzania. [11] The earliest Pastoral Neolithic sites are in the Lake Turkana region from around 5000 BP. [11]
