It is located to the south of [Rabat](/source/Rabat), near the Aterian industry of [Dar es Soltan](/source/Aterian).[2] ## Genetics See also: [Natufian culture § Genetics](/source/Natufian_culture#Genetics), [Taforalt § Ancient DNA](/source/Taforalt#Ancient_DNA), [Ifri N'Amr Ou Moussa § Genetics](/source/Ifri_N'Amr_Ou_Moussa#Genetics), [Cave of El Toro § Genetics](/source/Cave_of_El_Toro#Genetics), [Early European Farmers](/source/Early_European_Farmers), and [Guanches § Population genetics](/source/Guanches#Population_genetics) [Fregel et al. 2018](#CITEREFFregel_et_al.2018) examined the remains of 8 individuals buried at Kelif el Boroud (c. 3780-3650 [BCE](/source/Common_Era)) during the Late Neolithic.[3] The 1 sample of [Y-DNA](/source/Y-DNA) extracted belonged to the paternal haplogroup [T-M184](/source/Haplogroup_T-M184), while the 6 samples of [mtDNA](/source/MtDNA) extracted belonged to the maternal haplogroups [X2b](/source/Haplogroup_X_(mtDNA)) (two samples), [K1a1b1](/source/Haplogroup_K_(mtDNA)) (two samples), [K1a4a1](/source/Haplogroup_K_(mtDNA)) and lastly [T2b3](/source/Haplogroup_T_(mtDNA)), with the other being undetermined.[4] Morocco Late Neolithic in a shared genetic cluster with Guanches and North Africans The examined individuals were found to share genetic affinities with individuals buried at both the Early Neolithic sites of [Ifri N'Amr Ou Moussa](/source/Ifri_N'Amr_Ou_Moussa) in Morocco and the Early Neolithic [Cave of El Toro](/source/Cave_of_El_Toro) in Spain. They were modelled as being of about 50% [Early European Farmer](/source/Early_European_Farmer) (EEF) ancestry and 50% local North African (IAM) ancestry, suggesting substantial migration from [Iberia](/source/Iberian_Peninsula) into North Africa during the Neolithic era of human history. Moreover, they were found to have had a lower amount of [Sub-Saharan African](/source/Sub-Saharan_Africa) admixture than earlier North Africans buried at Ifri N'Amr Ou Moussa, but as well as present North Africans, suggesting that trans-Saharan migrations occurred after. Furthermore, unlike the earlier Ifri N'Amr population, they were fair skinned, and carried various alleles associated with [light skin](/source/Light_skin) and light [eye colors](/source/Eye_color).[5] The Kelif el Boroud inhabitants were additionally found to be closely related to the native [Guanches](/source/Guanches) of the [Canary Islands](/source/Canary_Islands) with them having similar admixture profiles, and being ancestral to today's North African populations. Geneticists who conducted these investigations concluded that: "We show that Early Neolithic Moroccans (c. ~5,000 BCE) are similar to Later Stone Age individuals from the same region and possess an endemic element retained in present-day Maghrebi populations, confirming a long-term genetic continuity in the region."[6] Later research by Simões, Luciana G et al. 2023, showed KEB can be modelled as a mix of ancestries present in northwestern Africa during the Early and Middle Neolithic periods (7,400-6,000 ya). The newcomers from [Europe](/source/Europe) and the [Levant](/source/Levant) brought new ways of life, farming practices, goat and sheep domestication and pottery traditions. These distinct genetic groups coexisted in close proximity, the local hunter-gatherers, farmers from Iberia, and Levantine pastoralists.[7] ## See also - [Capsian culture](/source/Capsian_culture) - [Iberomaurusian](/source/Iberomaurusian) - [Ifri N'Amr Ou Moussa](/source/Ifri_N'Amr_Ou_Moussa) - [Kulubnarti](/source/Kulubnarti) - [Luxmanda](/source/Luxmanda) - [Naqada](/source/Naqada) - [Cave of El Toro](/source/Cave_of_El_Toro) - [Cardium pottery](/source/Cardium_pottery) - [Guanches](/source/Guanches) - [Taforalt](/source/Taforalt) ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** [*Revue africaine, Volumes 60-61*](https://books.google.com/books?id=6QgOAQAAMAAJ).
