[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [QB] ^Given that microsatellite Y-DNA analysis suggested that the population ancestral to contemporary northwest African Imazighen ("Berbers") emerged ca. 8.2 kya or so in northeast Africa, the northwest African samples here are all too old to be associated with them. The Mechta-el-Arbi specimen is the only set that comes close to any age associated with contemporary Imazighen speakers, just based on the age given to it; but even here, it is questionable, given that Imazighen expansion in northwest Africa is dated even more recently than the 8 kya time frame -- that expansion dates to ca. 2.3 kya or so. The point is, although some find it tempting to associate contemporary Imazighens with these EpiPaleolithic and early Holocene Neolithic era northwest African specimens, available data suggest otherwise.
