Linguistic bottlenecks and demographic echoes The study builds on a long-standing hypothesis in historical linguistics and evolutionary anthropology—that migration events, especially those involving small founder populations, reduce linguistic diversity. In this case, however, the origin is likely in the north.

This suggests rapid morphological shifts due to male-driven founder events and local ecological adaptation. The short, high, gracile cranial forms common in recent centuries may owe more to changes in nutrition, lifestyle, and climate than to deep ancestry.

By analyzing distinctive genetic markers, researchers quantified this percentage, shedding light on the enduring impact of interbreeding events in human evolutionary history. “Most non-Africans today carry 1-2% Neanderthal ancestry, underscoring the impact of these interactions on the settlement of regions outside Africa.”

published in The American Journal of Human Genetics 1 , has provided fresh insights into the complex origins of the Fulani, tracing their ancestry back to an ancient, lost world—the Green Sahara. Their findings highlight admixture events with other African populations and a deep genetic link to ancient North African groups.
