I found this interesting article when I read an Anthropologist's topic. I want to share here.
I think it is contrary to Afrocentricist theory.
"North African populations are distinct from sub-Saharan Africans based on cultural, linguistic, and phenotypic attributes; however,(...)"
"We also find significant signatures of sub-Saharan African ancestry that vary substantially among populations. These sub-Saharan ancestries appear to be a recent introduction into North African populations, dating to about 1,200 years ago in southern Morocco and about 750 years ago into Egypt, possibly reflecting the patterns of the trans-Saharan slave trade that occurred during this period."
