That’s the second overstatement you’ve made in a row. 😉
Egypt is around 65-70% indigenous north african. The rest is a mixture of arab and levantine and other genetic introgression. The north african population is south eurasian, And the south eurasian population appears to have originated in the dry persian gulf but expanded in the region between the indus, caspian, black sea, med, and mesopotamia, then outward from there. Most of us call these Iranic peoples to be more precise than west eurasian, and so south eurasian – but that’s just a convenience.

1) African, 2) South Eurasian (from the west of north africa to the northeast of india’s integration with the asian popultion), 3) the european from spain to the urals though they did spread farther east the more north we go, and 4) the East Asian. These are the four primary speciation events, and all of them took place very long ago. All other subsequent peoples are hybridizations (hybridization events) from those speciation events. Speciation requried isolation and stress in a different climate. This is rather obvious in the data.
