- Botigué et al. (2013) analysed genome-wide SNP data from over 2,000 modern individuals from Iberia. They estimated an average of 4% to 12% Northwest African admixture in modern Iberians (with low or zero levels in Basques), whereas populations in southeastern Europe had less than 2% of such admixture. Sub-Saharan African ancestry was detected at less than 1% in Europe, with the exception of the Canary Islands.[20][21]
- Lazarids et al. (2014) detected 12.6 ± 2% North African ancestry and an average of 1.5 ± 0.2% sub-Saharan ancestry in the Spanish population.[22]
- Moorjani et al. (2011) estimated that some Southern Europeans have inherited 1%–3% sub-Saharan ancestry (approximately 3.2% in Portugal, 2.9% in Sardinia, 2.7% in southern Italy, 2.4% in Spain and 1.1% in northern Italy), although the percentages were lower (ranging from 0.2% in Sardinia and northern Italy to 2.1% in Portugal) when reanalyzed with the 'STRUCTURE' statistical model. An average mixture date of around 55 generations/1100 years ago was given, "consistent with North African gene flow at the end of the Roman Empire and subsequent Arab migrations". This admixture was not identified in Northern Europeans.[23]
