The Mbo people are a Bantu group of the Mbo plain , Littoral Region , Mungo Division , Nkongsamba and Melong subdivisions and in the West Region , Menoua Division, Santchou Subdivision and Upper Nkam Division, Kekem Subdivision of Cameroon .[2]
The Bakossi Forest Reserve , which includes the Bakossi National Park , is mainly inhabited by the Bakossi people , but the population also includes Mbo as well as Manehas , Bakem , Baneka , and immigrant Bamiliki people.[3] Banyangi people live in and around the Banyang-Mbo Wildlife Sanctuary .
They hunt for bushmeat , which they sell fresh or smoked, and which is a good deal cheaper than other locally available forms of protein.[4]
The Mbo of West Cameroon originate from the Santchou area in East Cameroon.
The Mbo have been restricted to the southern banks of the Betse and Betenten rivers since 1900.
They have a long tradition of conflict with the neighboring Bangwa people due to disputes over boundaries, oil palm groves, and kidnappings for slavery.
The Bamileke chiefdoms of Fongo Tongo, Foto, Foreke Dschang, and Fondongela all claim origin from the Mbo.
In other Bangwa chiefdoms, minor subchiefs claim Mbo ancestry.[5] HIV Testing and counseling, although HIV/AIDS is prevalent.[6]
Genetics [ edit ]
In 2013, discovery of a previously unknown Y-chromosomal haplogroup , dubbed haplogroup A00 (AF6)
was announced. First found in the Y-chromosome of an African American male submitted for commercial genealogical analysis, the haplogroup was identified in eleven Y chromosomes of Mbo males (out of a sample of 174, corresponding to 6.3%).[7] A0-FGC27410 [8] Y-chromosomal Adam , the most recent ancestor through direct paternal lines of all humans currently alive to ~250,000 years ago.[9]

These 11 chromosomes were all found in a sample of 174 (~6.3%) Mbo individuals from western Cameroon (Figure 2). Seven of these Mbo chromosomes were available for further testing, and the genotypes were found to be identical at 37 of 39 SNPs known to be derived on the A00 chromosome (i.e., two of these genotyped SNPs were ancestral in the Mbo samples)
