A study published in Nature uncovers a previously unknown North African genetic lineage from the African wet period, around 7,000 years ago. By analyzing ancient genomes from Taforalt (Morocco) and Takarkori (Libya), the researchers reveal unexpected connections between prehistoric populations in the Sahara and the Maghreb, offering fresh insights into human migrations and cultural exchanges across the region.
Archaeological data shed light on the transition of ancient North African populations from hunter-gatherers to producers, between 20,000 and 4,000 years ago. Following the sequencing of a genome in Morocco, findings from sites in Algeria and Tunisia raise questions about the movements between Asia, Europe, and the Maghreb during the development of the local production culture.
Ordered by the Marrakech prosecutor's office after the birth of a child to a minor with a mental disability, a DNA test established the link between the newborn and one of the three accused men, who are being prosecuted for repeated rape of the 13-year-old girl. The NGO is requesting that this incriminating scientific evidence lead to an exemplary decision.
According to two recent studies, prehistoric migration impacted the genetic history of the Iberian Peninsula. Findings suggest that North Africans called Iberia home more than 4,000 years ago.
Ancient nuclear DNA from 15,000-year-old modern humans discovered in Morocco is the oldest analyzed in Africa. A scientific team found out that these finds had a dual genetic heritage similar to Near Eastern and Sub-Saharan African populations.
