• The first genome-wide data from the Guanches confirm a North African origin
• The Guanches were genetically most similar to modern North African Berbers
• Modern inhabitants of Gran Canaria carry an estimated 16%–31% Guanche autosomal ancestry

These each represent a different person.

So despite a mixture of Spanish with the latest Guanche people, today is the modern population of the Maghreb that best represents the original inhabitants of these islands?

Very interesting.

I’ve always believed that modern Canarians carry significant Guanche dna, but was hesitant to associate Guanches with North Africans. What’s weird is how some Guanches were light skinned while others were dark skinned. Here are two Canary Islanders, https://www.elespanol.com/bluper/noticias/yael-pena-cola-cao-campeon-europa-surf-sub-16

I do not know if they are Guanche, in general the modern Canaries are mainly of European descent, it would be interesting to see Canaries who genetically have guanche predominance, maybe there are still some.
