The results revealed the Indian population originated from three separate waves of migration from Africa, Iran and Central Asia over a period of 50,000 years.  Adivasis arrived from Africa, mo...

THE SONINKE ARE AN ANCIENT PEOPLE GROUP FROM WEST AFRICA. The Soninke are an ancient people group from West Africa. They are thought to be the progenitors of the more numerous Mande people.  Despite being part of the Mande language family and spoken in the northwest, the Soninke language has lent many terms and concepts to other ethnic groups across West Africa's natural zones thanks to the creativity of its speakers.
