Guanche GEDmatch results (600-1150 AD)

[Nassbean]

I have known some Canarian people, and my first impression with some of them, was that they looked mulatto, so the ssa features, are very ancient, before the arrival of the Guanches to Canary.

The Main difference that I see between Guanches and Berbers, is that Guanches doesn't have the east-med influence that berbers have.

Actually it depends which north africans some of them are clearly the result ot the trans-saharan slave trade :

I remember your results, you got a big percentage of Atlantic and Western Mediterranean. Do you show no Negroid features?

I don't have any negroid features i'd say I look like a coastal north african :

Yep, these have strong SSA, but Canarians with Strong SSA are like these :





The last is funny, because resemble to me to the actor of Vikings Alex Høgh Anderse " Ivar " , that usually is classified as "nordid"

Very interesting, thanks for sharing !
They look like the purest kind of Berbers you could find because of isolation. Funnily their results are not that different from mine and other NorthAfricans especially Moroccans... except they have actually more SSA than the average coastal North African and have very low EastMed %. Their Red Sea & Atlantic % are still in the spectrum of the diversity of North African genetics, not the exact average but still. WestMed is higher than average also, I've never seen one that high but it is not surprising.
Basically, in Maghreb, the more EastMed you find, the more you go to the east (Tunisia etc...), the more WestMed you find, the more you go to the west (Morocco)... Canary Islands being to the extreme west, it makes sense.
The most important difference for me is the EastMed component, definitely lower than average, otherwise, it seems they clearly were very similar to other modern NorthAfrican/Berber groups.
It is also CLEARLY showing that SSA in North Africa is ancient and not inherited from Arab slave trade, disproving totally the anthroforum-myth.
