It's going to be in Science Magazine:

"A paper published online this week in Science (http://scim.ag/MGLlorente) reveals the first prehistoric genome From Africa: that of Mota, a hunter-gatherer man who lived 4500 years ago in the highlands of Ethiopia."
"genomes suggest a major migration into Africa by farmers from the Middle East, possibly about 3500 years ago. These farmers'DNA reached deep into the continent, spreading even to groups considered isolated, such as the Koisan of South Africa and the pygmies of the Congo."
"Population geneticist David Reich of Harvard University is struck by the magnitude of the mixing between Africans and Eurasians. He notes that “a profound migration of farmers moving from Mesopotamia to North Africa has long been speculated.” But, he says, “a western Eurasian migration into every population they study in Africa—into the Mbuti pygmies and the Khoisan? That's surprising and new.”"
Well, well.
