GUANCHES AND mtDNA



Being emboldened by the successful finds of Little et al, I decided to "google" the phrase
"mtDNA Guanches."

Funny - that's EXACTLY what I did, too -

I wondered if another loop of proof could be tied. I found that the field continues to produce
results that diverge from classical paleoanthropological views. It appears that it would be ne-
cessary to research down to the level of actual molecular sequences in the mtDNA ladder to
determine what has actually been found so far.

Traditional anthropology continues to influence how the data is interpreted. Below is perhaps
the most useful quote on the subject.

Notice we are not told anything about X that may have been in the Canaries.

We do not know how close U is to X. That information might be very interesting for
Theosophists.

(When the quote references "U6b1" that means haplogroup U with subgroups "6b1.")



The quote does support Theosophy in that the research finds the Guanches of the Canary
Islands are related to the Berbers, as was said in the previous newsletter and as was asserted
by Blavatsky. However, effectively, the Berbers do not have Guanch blood and the Guanches
do not have Berber blood. Maybe that is because they separated long ago.
