Interesting that you get Bantu, Khoisan and Yorubá while I don't (heck, not even Moor).
I also do get some Canarian matches, maybe because North African background.

Berber, rather. The old inhabitants of the archipelago were taken there by the Romans, in several waves. So, they remained isolated there for centuries and centuries.
By the way, the word "guanche" is not even "guanche", but French, given by the first expedition of Bethancourt in the beginning of the XV century.

The word "moro" in spanish implies muslim religion. For that cause the inhabitants of the island of Mindanao, in the Phillippines" were also called as "moros" from the beginning on.

A lot of Canarios went to the new world so this makes sense, thanks for sharing.

Well, it seems that they were taken there --supposedly as exiles from the Atlas-- by the Romans, as said by Pliny the Elder in his Naturalis Historia, in sucessive waves during 2 or 3 centuries, to the different islands. They couldn't indeed sail --and besides it was very difficult to sail from an island to the next one with a single boat, if they had known how to do--, but the romans could. They remained isolated there from the rest of the world and among each other for around 1,000 years, up to normans and castilians appeared over there in the XV century.

Wow very interesting details about the guanches. I think I already asked before how did they look like but I was lazy to read the whole response back them (please forgive me).
So, how they did look like?
