Populations used in this analysis

North Africa

#1
North African Berber +2 more

Populations from the northern region of the African continent with deep indigenous Berber (Amazigh) roots and later Arab, Mediterranean and Sahelian influences. The region shows a complex genetic tapestry reflecting prehistoric North African hunter-gatherers, Neolithic farmers, Phoenician and Roman contact, and more recent gene flow from the Near East and sub-Saharan Africa. Coastal and mountainous groups often differ genetically from Sahara-margin and desert populations due to differing migration and isolation histories.

Caucasus

#13
Caucasus Mountainous +2 more

Ethnic groups from the Caucasus region straddling Eastern Europe and Western Asia, noted for exceptional linguistic and genetic diversity with many local isolates. Mountainous terrain created strong population structure and preserved ancient lineages distinctive from neighboring steppe and Near Eastern groups. The area has been a crossroads for migrations, producing a layered ancestry of indigenous Caucasian, Anatolian, Iranian and later Turkic influences.
