Taforalt individuals from 15,000 years ago carry 63% Natufian-related Levant ancestry and 37% unique North African lineage. No sub-Saharan African ancestry found in any ancient North African samples. Modern Maghrebi populations derive about one-third ancestry from Taforalt-like source. Remaining modern Maghrebi ancestry traces to Near East and European sources. Prehistoric Levant migration formed early North African genetic base. Later Iberian gene flow admixed into Maghreb populations. North African lineage in Taforalt distinct from all other ancient Eurasian or African groups. Berber groups retain highest proportion of ancient Taforalt ancestry. Sub-Saharan admixture entered North Africa after ancient period. Iron Age samples show continuity with Taforalt plus minor changes. Guanche ancients from Canary Islands share Taforalt-related ancestry. Modern Moroccans model as 29% Taforalt, 25% Natufian, 46% Steppe-EF. Genetic distinctiveness confirms multiple prehistoric migrations into North Africa.
