Ancient genomes from North Africa evidence prehistoric migrations to the Maghreb from both the Levant and Europe

The extent to which prehistoric migrations of farmers influenced the genetic pool of western north Africans remains unclear. Pottery in North Africa exhibits strong resemblance to European cultures, like Cardial and Andalusian Early Neolithic, the southern-most Early Neolithic culture from Iberia. We present the first analysis of low-coverage genome sequences of individuals from early and late Neolithic sites in Morocco, as well as individuals from Early Neolithic Andalusian.

史前农业人群的迁徙对西北非人群遗传基因库的影响程度，目前仍未明晰。北非出土的陶器与欧洲新石器时代文化呈现高度相似性，其中包括源自伊比利亚半岛最南端的早期新石器时代卡里亚（Cardial）文化，以及安达卢西亚早期新石器文化。本研究首次对摩洛哥新旧石器时代早晚期遗址出土的人类个体，以及安达卢西亚早期新石器时代人类个体的低覆盖度基因组序列展开分析。
