Compared to other Arabians, Yemenis have an excess of Sub-Saharan African admixture, on par with the amount in Egypt or Morocco. And it shows phenotypically.
But from where did it come, and when?

From today's Kenya since their SSA admixture is west-African/Bantu like admixture which makes them more divergent than other Arabs who's SSA admixture is mostly east-African.

Does it specifically match Kenya or are you assuming based on something? Just wondering. I have not seen what type of admixture it was.

It's mostly from Kenya and few other countries like Tanzania.

Actually that makes sense because Swahili is there and that is a Bantu language with significant Arabic influence.
