(update to earlier tumblr post egypt-populated-between-130-and-50-thousand-yrs)
Egypt was populated between 130 and 50 thousand yrs ago, possible origin or way point (one of a half dozen possible ones) of Chinese, European and Japanese colonizations between 60 and 35/25 thousand years ago.

This detail of an incomplete graph (to be updated sometime maybe) shows
that the Most Common Recent Ancestral female, estimated to be ~150kyrs old gave rise to the mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) haplogroup L. This in turn diversified into haplogroups L1 to L3, the latter of which in turned diversified to haplogroups M and N.
Haplogroup M (giving rise to or traceable in populations of South Asia (So. Arabia, India, Australia (and likely at least some of polynesia)) and haplogroup N are (source?TODO...) present in the group of humans that populated Egypt between 130 and 50 kya (thousand years ago).
Haplogroup N populations went on to colonize Europe, China and Japan, and so definitely also Turkey, the levant and possibly the Caucasus and the ancestors of Scythians across northern and central Asia.
The second detail shows some way down the graph and timeline on the right, shows a red edge extending from the N haplogroup node near the top of the graph hypothetically all the way down to the Naqada chalcolithic cultures that comprised pre- and proto-dynastic society in Egypt and gave rise to the supposed scorpion kings of Dynasty 0 in Egypt and Can`an between 4400 and 3100/3000 BC.
