The paper presents a brief summary of the results of studieng of the historical context of coming of R1b-V88 haplogroup of Y-chromosome to Africa. The previous hypotheses about the time and circumstances of migration that brought R1b-V88 to Africa, such as “Baggara Arabs”, “Chadic”, and “Cardial ceramics” were considered. The analysis of haplogroup R1b-V88 distribution in Africa leads to the conclusion that none of these hypotheses can be accepted. We, apparently, in trying to explain the distribution of R1b-V88 in Africa, must accept the “substrate” model as the main explanatory model. That is, based on the very significant antiquity of the appearance of R1b-V88 in Africa. The author substantiates the need to propose the pre-Afrasian penetration of R1b-V88 into Africa. Considering the problem of localization of the Afrasian homeland, the author suggests that the formation of the Afroasiatic linguistic community was a much more non-linear process, lengthy in time, and took place, among other things, in the form of repeated and multidirectional migrations (as well as within the framework of the “long-distance” system of social interactions) over the period of 20000–12000 BP in a wide area that included the Levant and North Africa
