[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Elmaestro: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: How this fits into Canary islanders goes more into how and when the first settlers arrived in the islands. Currently it is theorized that the canary Islands were settled somewhere around 1000 BCE from the nearby African coast. The only reason this was in question, is because the currents in the area do not provide a direct route to the islands. But otherwise it shouldn't be a shock that this is the case. And therefore the DNA of the Canary island first settlers falls into generally the DNA of North Western Africa as part of "Berber" DNA even though Berber as a language is not a DNA lineage.[/QUOTE]What do you know about the non-Guanche Canary Island settlers? I haven't seen an autosomal study on the first Settlers of the Island, how do you know they were Berber? [/qb][/QUOTE]Historically in papers on the DNA of the Canaries scientists have often used "Berber" as a DNA signature. And this often goes for North Africa as well, which is why I mentioned that Berber is a language not a DNA signature. For example: [QUOTE] [b]First Inhabitants Of Canary Islands Were Berbers, Genetic Analysis Reveals[/b] A team of Spanish and Portuguese researchers has carried out molecular genetic analysis of the Y chromosome (transmitted only by males) of the aboriginal population of the Canary Islands to determine their origin and the extent to which they have survived in the current population. The results suggest a North African origin for these paternal lineages which, unlike maternal lineages, have declined to the point of being practically replaced today by European lineages. Researchers from the University of La Laguna (ULL), the Institute of Pathology and Molecular Immunology from the University of Porto (Portugal) and the Institute of Legal Medicine from the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) have studied the Y chromosome from human dental remains from the Canary Islands, and have determined the origin and evolution of paternal lineages from the pre-Hispanic era to the present day. To date, only mitochondrial DNA has been studied, which merely reflects the evolution of maternal lineages. [/QUOTE] https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/10/091021115147.htm [/QB][/QUOTE]
