About: African admixture in Europe

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

African admixture in Europe refers to the presence of admixture events attributable to dispersal of populations inhabiting Africa in the genetic history of Europe. Certain Y-DNA and mtDNA lineages are thought to have spread from Northeastern Africa to the Near East during the later Pleistocene, and from there to Europe with the Neolithic Revolution. More recent, direct African admixture – primarily Berber admixture from North Africa – is associated with the Carthaginian period as well as Muslim conquests of the Early Middle Ages, and is primarily concentrated in the Iberian peninsula, averaging from ~11% in the south and west to ~3% in the northeast, dropping to close to 0% in a cluster found in the Basque region. North African admixture has also been detected in the island of Sicily.
