TL;DR: This phylogeographic analysis of Canarian ancient mitogenomes, the first of its kind, shows that some lineages are restricted to Central North Africa, while others have a wider distribution, including both West and Central North Morocco, and, in some cases, Europe and the Near East.

TL;DR: Data suggest that the population buried in caves had a different dietary pattern from that of those buried in tumuli, and type of burial is the main factor associated with the proportion of carious teeth.

TL;DR: The prevalence of dental calculus, periodontal disease and antemortem tooth loss in remains of 791 individuals belonging to the anthropological collection of the Museo Canario supports the view that there were differences in economy and diet between both groups of islanders.

TL;DR: Diagnosis based on visual examination of the mandible or on its metric measurement only serves to roughly estimate sex with an accuracy of around 70% or less, at least among the prehispanic population from Gran Canaria.

TL;DR: In spite of observing interinsular differences in the survival of indigenous lineages, modern populations, with the sole exception of La Gomera, are homogenous across the islands, supporting the theory of extensive human mobility after the European conquest.
