11th century andalusian moor result

[Hamilcar]

Here, we present a low-coverage genome of an eleventh century CE man buried in an Islamic necropolis in Segorbe, near Valencia, Spain. Uniparental lineages indicate North African ancestry, but at the autosomal level he displays a mosaic of North African and European-like ancestries, distinct from any present-day population. Altogether, the genome-wide evidence, stable isotope results and the age of the burial indicate that his ancestry was ultimately a result of admixture between recently arrived Amazigh people (Berbers) and the population inhabiting the Peninsula prior to the Islamic conquest.




We investigated the autosomal ancestry of our ancient individual by calling ~ 74,200 autosomal SNPs (~ 72,300 when using a different approach to deal with post-mortem damage (Supplementary Table S2)). The PCA (Fig. 3a; Supplementary Fig. S9) shows that UE2298/MS060 occupies an intermediate position between present-day and ancient North African and Iberian populations in PC1, close to other Iberian Islamic individuals.

Phenotype :


is a young adult, between 20 and 25 years old, male, with a height between 184-190cm. He belongs to the Caucasian group, Mediterranean subgroup and, within this, gracile Mediterranean with a certain Negroid component. Historically it could be a Berber individual.

More berber than this I think, he's plots close to KEB/MAR_LN who were a mix between taforalt and Iberia_N

[Dr_Maul]

So more like him? These spanish averages themselves probably 1/8 Berber I think, right?

Btw, some of those moors seem to be low quality, they score some South Asian like and even siberian

[Gallop]

Andalusí not Andalusian


As an Andalusian, I am not interested in that historical period.

[Sora]

Basically 3/4 Iberian + 1/4 Berber

But those samples are also close to more earlier Visigoths:

No something like this :

55.0 Anatolia_Barcin_N

and yes probably bad coverage for some of them

[Hamilcar]

But those samples are also close to more earlier Visigoths:

Not really, they all had important amount of north african ancestry :

Overall these samples were around 20-30% north african

[Lucas]

is a young adult, between 20 and 25 years old, male, with a height between 184-190cm

He was a giant in this time...

[axel.aleman]

Interesting

[Avicenna]

Very interesting

[El_Jibaro]

Cool.

[Peterski]

He was a giant in this time...

No. During the Early Middle Ages people were tall, then height declined during the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern Era, then increased again in the 19th century and later.

Changes in height were cyclical. He would be a giant if he lived in the 1400s or 1500s.

[RogueState]

Semi off-topic but do we have results of the ruling family members of Al Andalus ? (Omayyade, Almoravide, Almohade, ...) ?

[Dr_Maul]

Semi off-topic but do we have results of the ruling family members of Al Andalus ? (Omayyade, Almoravide, Almohade, ...) ?

No, but if their genealogies are correct, then they would be some kind of J-FGC11 (Umayyad and Abbasid, I can't comment on those other Maghrebi states as i dont know the origin of their monarch). Majority of North African Arab-descendants (Hilali and Sulaym tribes) fall into these 2 clades
