    The first light eyed, light haired, light skinned people originated in Siberia (oversimplified), spread and mixed via the Eurasian steppe and some descendants of them migrated into Africa 7k to 8k years ago. As evidenced by Y-haplogroup R-V88 in the Sahel region, mostly among Chadic speakers. All of this is before Proto-Indo-Europeans existed.

    Not sure if any of these gene variants survive in modern people (allegedly they do), but it’s technically possible to have “native” Sub-Saharan Africans with blue eyes.

    Depending how you want to define native, considering the most divergent haplogroups are like 200k years old. For context, most Native Americans are genetically isolated for 20k years. But since Chadic speaker’s autosomal DNA (not exclusively inherited from mother or father, makes up 98% of the genome) is in large majority native Sub-Saharan African, it’s kind of a moot point. Northern Chadians have more North African admixture, so a bit Mediterranian-like. Appearance wise, they don’t stick out too much, at least not from our Western perspective.

    Wuzlam/Uldeme/Ouldémé speakers have incidences of this haplogroup as high as 95.5%, so these people have an unbroken male population continuity to Siberia, which is kind of silly.
