Guanches Canary Islanders Africans

Here is an example. It is a little dated2004 but there isn’t anything more up-to-date on the subject. We are talking aDNA here NOT modern populations.

For both admixture estimates, the Canarian sequences4 have been compared with published and unpublished sequences from the Iberian Peninsula,7 – 9,12,16,22,24 Northwest sub-Saharan Africa2,6,25 – 27 and the aboriginal sequences obtained in this work, as the three most probable parental populations.

Results
Informative mtDNA sequences were obtained from a total of 71 individuals, accounting for an efficiency of 55%. The two replications from the laboratory of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria gave identical sequences to those of our lab. A total of 31 different haplotypes were found among these individuals giving a gene diversity of 0.9370.02, slightly lower, but not significantly different to that found in the actual Canarian population (0.9770.01), Iberian Peninsula (0.9670.00) or Berbers (0.9570.01).

Table 2). CRS sequences are the most abundant, accounting for 21.12% of the sample. However, not all could be RFLP assigned to concrete haplogroups. The Canarianspecific U6b1 sequences are also found in high frequency (8.45%), corroborating the fact that these lineages were already present in the aboriginal population. Three additional founder haplotypes4 were also detected (260, 069 126 and 126 292 294), all of them showing equal or higher frequencies than in the present day Canarian population. In addition, six private haplotypes have been detected. Two of them (145 213 and 126 224 292 294) belong to Caucasic haplogroups, and the other four to the African macrohaplogroup L (Table 2).

From: Demographic history of the canary islands male gene pool – Fregel(2009)


similar frequency has been found in the historical sample, again points to a strong European replacement of the male indigenous pool since the early conquest period. Surprisingly, R-M269 was also found in the indigenous sample in a moderate frequency (10%). Its presence in the indigenous people could be explained in two ways: (a) RM269 was introduced into NW Africa in prehistoric not historical times, or (b) the presence of this marker in the aborigines was due to a prehispanic European gene flow


A sub-Saharan component is detected in both indigenous (3.3%) and historical (7.1%) samples. E-M33 was the only sub-Saharan marker found in aborigines. In Africa, its highest frequencies have been detected in Southern (51%) and Central areas (57%) [17,36]. However, as its frequencies in North-Central Moroccan Berbers (3.2%) and in Saharan people (3.5%) [34] are similar to that found in the indigenous sample, its prehispanic presence in the islands could be due to the same NW African colonization that brought E-M81. E-M33 was also detected in the historical population (2.4%) which, together with EM81, could indicate a moderate indigenous Y-lineage persistence in the 17th–18th centuries. Although its presence could also be the result of the later sub-Saharan slave trade, its limited frequency in the Gulf of Guinea [17], the main source of slaves, makes this second option less probable

E-M2 is also present in NW African populations [17,34] so, although this marker was not detected in our small indigenous sample, a prehispanic NW African origin cannot be ruled out.

Due to the low variance of J-M267 in N Africa compared to that in the Middle East, its presence in the former has been related to the Arab expansion in the 7th century A.D. [36]. However, if the arrival of the indigenous people in the islands was around 1,000 years B.C. [48], the presence of J-M267 in NW Africa could be previous to the Arab expansion. Alternatively, this marker might have reached the islands with a second wave of colonists


NW African colonization, the detection in the indigenous sample of markers like I-M170 and R-M269 of clear European ascription might suggest that other secondary waves also reached the Archipelago, most likely from the Mediterranean basin. This would again be in agreement with the multiple settlement theory proposed to explain the physical and cultural diversity found between and within the different islands [3,52]. However, as these markers are also present in N Africa, albeit in low frequencies, it could be that they arrived in the islands DURING THE SAME AFRICAN WAVE(s) that brought E-M81 and reached relatively high frequencies there due to founder and genetic-drift effects. If so, THE PRESENCE OF THESE MARKERS IN N AFRICA MAY BE OLDER THAN PREVIOUSLY PROPOSED
[17].

==================


I will jump the gun and make one point. JM267 is not a sign of “arabs’ entering Africa. It was present in Africa since 1000BC. Before “Islamic Arabs” were even invented. The floor is yours or anyones. Please…. No BS.

To those who don’t get it. The two citations highlight several things.

1. R-M269 has been in West Africa and the Canaries long before the Romans. Most likely also of African Origin(sic).
2. J1-M267 has been in Africa before the Islamic “invasion” proving Moslem Arabs did NOT invade Africa. Furthermore to the geographically challenged. The Canaries is on the “ass end” of earth from Arabia. An Island over 4000miles away from Arabia including crossing by sea.
3. SSA genes were present in the Canaries before Europeans and Arabian slavery (sic).
4. Since there are UNIQUE SSA haplotypes on an island in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa and Europe 1000bc my guess is they have been there a since early Neolithic or even late Paleolithic depending on the mutation rate of the haplogroups in question.
5. Oddly the author prefer to use the word “ascription” and not origin. Do you wonder why?
6. Another odd word used by the author. “Caucasic” group. Why ? Indecision on the origin of CRS (ie mtDNA H). She reverts back to an archaic description. Including North Africans and Europeans of Caucasoids. She was wiggin out. Coward!
7. The author acknowledge that SSA Africans carry haplogroups within mtDNA U exclusive to them and the indigenous population of the Canary Islands. Quote see below.: `

Islands, the probability that this clade has not been detected in North Africa is negligible. This could indicate that either the exact region has not been sampled yet, or that the actual U6b1 frequency in Africa is lower than that of the Canary Islands. Today, U6b lineages have only been sporadically found in two Moroccans,2,11 a Wolof,2 a Fulbe27 and in the Iberian Peninsula.7 – 9,23 This wide distribution could be compatible with the idea that U6b lineages were present, in the past, in all of this Western area, but posterior demographic movements reshaped its genetic landscape. The fact that four of the six private aboriginal haplotypes belong to the African L cluster reinforces this idea. These facts difficult the search for an exact geographic origin of the Canarian aborigines. However, molecular relationships point to the Moroccan Berbers as the most related African population to the Guanches, confirming, at a genetic level, the previous general supposition of the strong cultural and anthropological affinities between the Guanches and the westernmost African Berbers.1,28
