Do all "Negroid" SSA people trace back to West Africa?

[Sikeliot]

I ask because on FTDNA for instance, the "West Africa" component is found everywhere from Nigeria/Cameroon through Central Africa into SE Africa, which is far geographically from West Africa.

I have seen Bantu Kenyans scoring more West African than East.

Does this mean that much of Africa today is populated by people who once came from West Africa and displaced native Sub-Saharan groups in Central, Eastern, and Southern Africa? Are all black Africans, in some sense, West African in origin?

Exceptions seem to be Horn Africans, Sudanese, and some Cushitic and Nilotic groups in East-Central Africa, the Khoisan, and the Hadza and Sandawe.

Yes, all who speak Niger-Congo languages

my theory is:

east africans: true ssa people
bantu: eurasian mixed

[Sikeliot]

Yes, all who speak Niger-Congo languages

So everyone from Senegal to South Africa is pretty much all related genetically, and probably displaced the native SSA groups in the rest of Africa?

This may be why I have no conclusive point of origin for my African ancestors. It's kind of "garden variety" SSA.

origin of bantu migrations and haplogroup R1b is the same place

It's a back migration to Africa, R1b (M343) originated in Asia and was brought back to Africa (V88), it didn't originated there. The whole phylo tree of humanity preceeds it.
