Holocene human peopling of Libyan Sahara: molecular analysis of maternal lineages in ancient and extant populations of Fezzan

Claudio Ottoni · Cineca Institutional Research Information System (Tor Vergata University) · 2008

Summary

P phylogenetic analyses indicate that the mtDNA genetic pool of the Libyan Tuareg is characterized by a major “West-Eurasian” component, that is shared with many Berber groups and hypothetically comes from the Iberian Peninsula, and a minor “South-Saharan’ component that shows some kind of relationship with Central and Eastern African populations.
