Admixture estimations

		Iberian peninsula	Aborigines	Sub-Saharan Africa
Canarian males
	17th–18th centuries	63.2 ± 14.5	31.1 ± 14.0	5.8 ± 4.5
	Present day	83.0 ± 4.7	16.1 ± 4.6	0.9 ± 0.7
Canarian females
	17th–18th centuries	47.9 ± 23.3	39.9 ± 22.9	12.2 ± 6.5
	Present day	55.4 ± 15.6	41.8 ± 15.8	2.8 ± 3.7

Relative indigenous, Iberian and West sub-Saharan African contributions to the 17th–18th century and present-day Canary Islands populations, were estimated based on Y-chromosome and mtDNA haplogroup frequencies in the three paternal populations.
