[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Geber: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Askia_the_small: [qb] Why did you post this quote in particular ? [/qb][/QUOTE]Because of the particular timeframe. And relation to neighboring populations. [QUOTE] The Canary Islands, located in the Atlantic coast of North Africa, have been inhabited since approximately 1000 BCE [5,6]. The islands were known by the Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans; however, it is thought that there was no contact with the autochthonous settlers of the islands since the fourth century until the Castilian conquest in the fifteenth century [7]. By the time of this European conquest of the Islands, the aboriginal population size has been estimated around 100 000 individuals [8]. A northwest African origin of the first settlers of the islands is consistent with patterns of uniparental and classical genetic markers in modern and ancient samples [9,10]. In particular, the presence of haplogroups in the Canary Islands that are only found in individuals of North African descent, such as mitochondrial (mtDNA) haplogroup U6 [11] and Y-chromosome haplogroup M81 [12], among some others considered founder lineages, support the North African origin of the islanders. The frequencies of these haplogroups in the extant population of the Canary Islands show a clear sexual bias: the percentage of the maternal North African component estimated through the analysis of mtDNA lineages is high, between 42 and 74% [10]; while the paternal component analysed through the study of Y-chromosome lineages is lower, between 5 and 16% [9].
