I thought this Yemen route was already a common theory?

Yep, that's the route in every book/article and tv program i've read/seen on the subject.

The article implies that nobody followed the Nile up. I believe both paths were taken.

How do you survive without agriculture? Anyway, what you "believe" doesn't really have any bearing on genetic research.

The Sahara wasn't always a desert. Back then it was green and lush and full of food. A branch of humanity did go up the Nile and into Canaan 125,000 years ago. My previous research had led me to believe mtDNA haplogroups M and N took separate routes, but now I'm seeing both of those groups came from the Arabian migration according to the genetics.
