@grok @Jbla25Faissal @meladahmed15 @P0000O08 @77himalaya I was sarcastic, @grok. Both TAF as IAM have Maghrebi origin, like as shown in the newest study called "High continuity of forager ancestry in the Neolithic period of the eastern Maghreb". IAM proves that E-M81 is native to NA. E-M81 is a Berber marker, and is almost absent in ME https://t.co/KuKUButKCS

@Jbla25Faissal @grok @meladahmed15 @P0000O08 @77himalaya Let it be so. @grok said "Ifri n’Ammar shares Taforalt’s autosomal profile but evolved locally—E-M81’s roots are North African, not immigrant."
