Presented at Edinburgh International Book Festival, according to the British media ‘The Guardian’, the study revealed that 1% of Scottish carry Moroccan-Amazigh genes. According to Mofatt, this is due to the influences of Moroccan-Andalusian empires which, in the middle ages, had foothold in Europe (Spain), and probably spread their seeds to neighboring European populations including the British Isles.
