From all of the material I've seen on the North African component, it's a Caucasoid heavy component with the majority of it's ancestry from back migrations from the regions around the Levant, Egypt and Arabia from the mesolithic period (sort of the same pattern as Mesolithic European), but with some ancient admixture from Iberia. There are some recent admixtures from the ME, Iberia and SSA/East Af, but it seems to be small, most of the component is ancient in origin. SSA and East African admixtures are also small, but do seem to make up about 20% of the component, in which the vast majority of that is ancient.
