(especially the Takarkori study) [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [qb] Another extract echoing the other posted by the OP: [b]HGP-030 Echoes from the last Green Sahara: a ghost population of cattle herders unveiled from joint whole modern genome analysis of Sahelian Fulani and ancient African individuals.[/b] [QUOTE] The Sahelian Fulani are the largest nomadic pastoral ethnic group. Their origins are still largely unknown and their Eurasian genetic component is usually explained by recent admixture events with northern African groups. However, it has also been proposed that Fulani may be the descendants of ancient groups settled in the Sahara during its last Green phase (12000-5000 BP), as also suggested by Y chromosome results.We produced 23 high-coverage (30 ×) whole genome sequences from Fulani individuals from 8 Sahelian countries, plus 17 samples from other African groups and 3 Europeans as controls, for a total of 44 new whole genome sequences. These data have been compared with published whole genomes from relevant populations, for a total of 814 samples. This modern dataset has been then analyzed together with relevant published ancient individuals (for a total of > 1800 ancient and modern samples). These analyses showed that the non-sub-Saharan genetic ancestry component of Fulani cannot be only explained by recent admixture events, but it is more ancient than previously reported and probably traces its origin to the last Green Sahara. According to our results, Fulani may be the descendants of Saharan cattle herders settled in that area during the last Green Sahara. The exact ancestry composition of such ghost Saharan population(s) cannot be completely unveiled from modern genomes only, but the joint analysis with the available African ancient samples suggested a similarity between ancient Saharans and Late Neolithic Moroccans.[/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE]I believe this one has already been released. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.04.06.535569v1 [/QB][/QUOTE]
