Unraveling the Ancient Roots of North Africa’s Diverse Populations using Artificial Intelligence

A new study led by David Comas and Oscar Lao Mendoza has unraveled the genetic origins of North Africa’s two main populations: the Arabs and the Imazighen (Amazigh). Using cutting-edge artificial intelligence tools, the research reveals that these groups separated over 20,000 years ago, shedding new light on the region’s complex demographic history. This discovery marks a significant milestone in understanding the rich cultural heritage of Tunisia, Libya, Morocco, Egypt, and Algeria, where human remains dating back 300,000 years have been found.

The findings, published in Genome Biology highlight the distinct genetic paths of the Imazighen and Arab populations, shaping the identity of North Africa.

At MyAfroDNA we’re committed to harnessing the power of genetic research to improve health outcomes and preserve the rich genetic diversity of African populations.
