The early history of Eastern Eurasian and African interactions with Europe can be found by the genetics of contemporary European populations. Both populations seem to have had little influence on Europe Infact less than 1% of Europeans (including Spaniards) have African y-dna or mtDNA.
Eastern Eurasian dna is much more common and is represented mostly by the presence of haplogroup N3 in far north east Europe. Interestingly many African populations have a large proportion of western Eurasian DNA particularly north Africa which is about 90% western Eurasian the above study is confirmed by y-dna and mtDNA analysis of north Africa for example over 90% of north African men belong to the western Eurasian E3B,J,G, or R1 haplogroups . In sub-Saharan Africa amounts of western Eurasian DNA can be found in speakers of the afro-asiatic language branch.
