Yes, I'm seeing that in my latest Y-DNA report from the Origene lab in Mauritius.
The laboratory is fully accredited, and they gave me the best Y-DNA report I've ever had in my life. Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
It should pointed out, however, that as we go down through the branches of the genetic tree, , or, more precisely, as we follow the line of descent of the E haplogroup, we will see that it is "actually Proto-Semitic". The Origene report identifies it as such.
I'll post more details later, and I'll post a full report here.

Within haplogroup E, which represents the majority of the Y chromosomes found in Africa, E1b1 is the haplogroup which has the greatest geographic distribution.
And, as expected, and I realize this is simplifying things, the Africans belongs to haplogroups A, B or E, the Europeans mainly to haplogroups R and I, and the Asians mainly to haplogroups O, D and C.
That's over simplifying, of course. And, for the most part, this involves simplifying things.
Belonging is important and I belong to three Y-haplogroups, viz. C, E1b1b, and R1b.
See these posts to get a better understanding of this.

It is hard to overemphasize the impact of this point on discussions of haplogroups and sub-haplogroups and their relation to STR and SNP genotypes and haplotypes:
STR markers mutate rapidly, at a rate of once every 20 generations. Fast mutating STR markers can be used to trace recent ancestry, within the past hundreds of years. SNP markers mutate very slowly, once every few thousand years. Slow mutating SNP markers can only trace deep ancestry from thousands of years ago, and do not provide any information on recent ancestral events.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/art...astoralism.%20Although most of the data sets in our study define the deep ancestry of the phylogeny, they still shed some information to our interpretations of recent phenomena such as the current genetic diversity of the E haplogroup in an implication to the origin and spread of Afro-Asiatic languages and to the history of pastoralism.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/art...%20history.%20Intuitively, the high correlation between geographical distribution of some of the major E haplogroups and distribution of Afro-Asiatic languages, exemplary of established correlation between languages and genes as proposed by Cavalli-Sforza prompted us to revisit such correlation in a multidisciplinary platform better suited to unravel hitherto untold chapters of human history.
