Actually we aren't African in origin.    If we were African, all our skin 
color would be dark, not varied from white to black.  Originally we all came 
from Adam and Eve, and after all the wicked people were drowned, we all 
descended from Noah, and were scattered all over the world from  the Tower 
of Babel which was located somewhere in Mesopatamia.   When people scattered 
from the Tower of Babel, it's only natural that there were pockets intended 
to go to Asia, that wound up in Northern Europe, and consequently those who 
would have gone to Europe, traveling to the Far East.   That might account 
for isolated language varieties.
