AFAIK it's probable that in the Southern Great Lakes area there was a second center that incorporated local genetics like mtDNA L0k. I'm still awaiting for improved autosomal data on Mozambicans, which <a href="http://leherensuge.blogspot.com/2009/04/study-suggests-single-origin-for.html" rel="nofollow">in one study</a> appeared quite different from other Bantus and seemingly related to the Twa "Pygmies" of Rwanda and Burundi. It seems that Bantus arrived to the eastern parts of South Africa only as late as c. 300-500 BCE.Majuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369840391933337204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023805782808412230.post-9877635169182606202016-09-09T06:32:14.653+02:002016-09-09T06:32:14.653+02:00Depends on what degree of "isolation" yo...Depends on what degree of "isolation" you are thinking of. There's some evidence for minor genetic input from East Africa (or maybe is it the Zambia-Katanga-Malawi area, which has some unique mtDNA markers?) prior to Bantu arrival and related to the arrival of pastoralism but otherwise they were pretty much isolated AFAIK.
