๐ฒ๐ฆ Genetic Landscape of Morocco
Morocco's genetics tell the story of North Africa's layered history โ indigenous Amazigh (Berber) foundations overlaid with Arab, Sub-Saharan African, and Mediterranean European influences. The Amazigh people, who comprise roughly 40% of Morocco's heritage, carry some of the oldest North African genetic lineages. Rif Berbers in the north show surprising rates of light features (blue/green eyes up to 15%), while southern Moroccans near the Sahara show more Sub-Saharan genetic influence.
