Ancient genomes from North Africa evidence prehistoric migrations to the Maghreb from both the Levant and Europe

2017-09-21

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The extent to which prehistoric migrations of farmers influenced the genetic pool of western North Africans remains unclear. Archaeological evidence suggests the Neolithization process may have happened through the adoption of innovations by local Epipaleolithic communities, or by demic diffusion from the Eastern Mediterranean shores or Iberia. Here, we present the first analysis of individuals’...
