Origin of Ancient Canary Islanders (Guanches): presence of Atlantic/Iberian HLA and Y chromosome genes and Ancient Iberian language

First Canary Islands (Spain) Inhabitants (“Guanches”) origin has been much debated. Lately, it has come popular the simplistic theory that they came from North Africa. In the present paper, we conclude that not only North Africans but also Iberian/Atlantic Europeans (and possibly others) must have been first Canarians. Debate whether North Africans or Iberians were the first “Guanches” is artificial since Iberian Peninsula-North African genes flow in ancient times was abundant and Iberians share a great part of genetic profile with North Africans. New genetic (HLA) and linguistic data shown in the present paper is conjointly analyzed with early anthropological data; at least two “Guanches” anthropological types existed. In addition, a correct interpretation of R1b Y chromosome high frequency in Atlantic Europe (Ireland, British Isles, North Spain and Portugal), which is also found in Canary Islands (at least 10%) supports that Atlantic/Europeans are among Canary Islands First Inhabitants. Present paper HLA genes partial data and presence of abundant old Iberian language scripts (which show an easy translation proposal by using Basque language) suggest that a present day dogma of a hypothetically North African single origin should be changed. Both Atlantic/Europeans and North Africans must have been in the origin of Canary Islands First Inhabitants.
