The August 2019 issue of National Geographic described genetically derived data which establishes that Europeans are descended from three main prehistoric migrations into Europe. There was one from Central Asia around 6,000 years ago, one from the Middle East around 8,000 years ago, and one from East Africa around 14,500 years ago.
Other research has proven that the people who came here 14,500 years ago from East Africa had black skin, curly black hair, and African facial features. Google "Cheddar Man 2018" and bear in mind that England was connected to Europe via a land bridge called Doggerland which was large and wide and had people living on it.
There are well-known traces of African ancestry in some places in Europe such as Ireland but the latest research proves nearly all Europeans have significant East African DNA. The gene for skin color is not very important and controls only skin color and not much else, so it is possible for a family to lose their darkness without losing all their African DNA, especially in a place where lighter skin would bring better health. Farming was becoming important just as the last two waves of immigration were coming in to Europe and there would have been increasing crowding and less access to fresh, vitamin D-rich foods like wild game and greens.
One source mentioned the average English person had 10% East African DNA, the average Norwegian had around 15%, and the average Belarussian had 30%.
This DNA would not show up as East African on many commercial DNA tests because they only tell you what regions of the globe currently have DNA similar to yours and where it historically came from. The migration from East Africa was definitely prehistoric.
