They look much like Berbers. Men (n=3) all typical Berber E-M81, which is probably very young. The oldest sample, predating the Islamic conquest of the Maghreb, has E-M81 and U6b1a. Most common mitochondrial haplogroups were L3b1a (widespread in West Africa and beyond) and U6b1a (specific to Canary Islands, with its nearest relative in the Maghreb). Other maternal lineages are H1cf (also Canary-specific), H2a, J1c3, T2c1d2. Autosomally they are very much like modern Maghrebis, in ADMIXTURE, PCA, and Fst, though on PCA they are pulled a little toward Europeans from the main North African cluster. In f3 stats they shared most drift with Europeans, and in D stats were significantly closer to Sardinians and Anatolian Neolithic farmers than to modern North Africans, but as with the ancient Egyptians this is almost certainly due to different contributions of Sub-Saharan ancestry having an outsize effect. Modern Canary Islanders could be modelled as 12-35% Guanche and the rest Western European, depending on the reference used. [/QB][/QUOTE]
