[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Tyrannohotep: [qb] The Guanches' skin color doesn't seem to have been that dark though:[/qb] [QUOTE]Lastly, we obtained phenotypically informative SNPs from the five individuals with the highest genome coverage; however, only individual gun011 yielded high enough coverage to infer genotypes (Table S4). We relied on the HirisPlex and 8-plex prediction systems, which are based on 24 and 8 SNPs respectively, for skin, hair, and eye color prediction [36 ; 37], as well as 3 SNPs involved in lactose tolerance [38; 39 ; 40] (Table S4). The results reveal that this individual likely was lactose intolerant and had brown eyes, dark hair, and light or medium skin color. These results are similar for the other individuals where SNP information is available, albeit with lower coverage, suggesting that—at least for this sample of Guanches—the dominating phenotype was lactose intolerant, dark hair, light or medium skin color, and brown eyes (Table S4)[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]Yes. And note that the African male and female haplogroups seem to be closely related and from the same sites. I'm not convinced that the African lineages require a rethink of everything we already know about Canary Island aDNA. This (potentially redundant samples) is why, when they sample from living populations, they track surnames/ask about family history. It's to prevent sampling from the same families. [/QB][/QUOTE]
