Africa-Press – Mali. <\/strong><\/span>Une e\u0301tude ge\u0301ne\u0301tique re\u0301cente a de\u0301voile\u0301 des de\u0301tails fascinants sur les origines du peuple peul, l’une des plus anciennes et importantes communaute\u0301s pastorales du continent africain.<\/p>\n

On estime leur nombre entre 25 et 40 millions, re\u0301partis dans plus de 20 pays, s’e\u0301tendant a\u0300 travers la zone sahe\u0301lienne, du Se\u0301ne\u0301gal au Soudan, ou\u0300 leur culture pastorale itine\u0301rante constitue un e\u0301le\u0301ment distinctif du paysage humain africain.<\/p>\n

Le peuple peul a longtemps repre\u0301sente\u0301 une e\u0301nigme pour les anthropologues et les ge\u0301ne\u0301ticiens, en raison de caracte\u0301ristiques physiques suscitant des interrogations sur ses origines diversifie\u0301es par rapport aux communaute\u0301s africaines voisines.<\/p>\n

Cette e\u0301tude, publie\u0301e par Elsevier pour le compte de l\u2019American Journal of Human Genetics, est l\u2019une des plus vastes mene\u0301es a\u0300 ce jour sur les Peuls. Elle a analyse\u0301 l\u2019ADN de 1146 personnes, dont 140 Peuls issus de divers groupes pastoraux au Burkina Faso et au Mali.<\/p>\n

Les re\u0301sultats ont montre\u0301 que la composition ge\u0301ne\u0301tique des Peuls combine des origines d\u2019Afrique subsaharienne et eurasiatique (Europe, Proche-Orient et Afrique du Nord), indiquant un me\u0301tissage avec des peuples migrants remontant a\u0300 environ 1800 ans.<\/p>\n

Ce me\u0301lange fournit une preuve scientifique des vagues de contacts historiques probablement issus des migrations commerciales et culturelles a\u0300 travers le Sahara, notamment par les interactions avec les habitants d’Afrique du Nord.<\/p>\n

L\u2019e\u0301tude souligne e\u0301galement l\u2019impact du mode de vie pastoral sur la formation de l\u2019identite\u0301 ge\u0301ne\u0301tique des Peuls. Leur mobilite\u0301 constante a favorise\u0301 la large diffusion de leurs ge\u0300nes tout en pre\u0301servant la spe\u0301cificite\u0301 de leur culture et une relative isolation.<\/p>\n

Leur forte de\u0301pendance a\u0300 l\u2019e\u0301levage, allie\u0301e a\u0300 leurs traditions islamiques anciennes adopte\u0301es depuis des sie\u0300cles, a joue\u0301 un ro\u0302le essentiel dans la consolidation de leur identite\u0301 collective, a\u0300 la diffe\u0301rence des socie\u0301te\u0301s agricoles ou urbaines plus me\u0301tisse\u0301es.<\/p>\n

Selon les chercheurs, ces re\u0301sultats corrigent l\u2019image ste\u0301re\u0301otype\u0301e des Peuls perc\u0327us comme un groupe \u00ab\u00a0diffe\u0301rent\u00a0\u00bb sans fondement scientifique pre\u0301cis, et montrent qu\u2019ils incarnent un exemple vivant de la diversite\u0301 africaine re\u0301sultant d\u2019un e\u0301change culturel et ge\u0301ne\u0301tique continu a\u0300 travers les a\u0302ges.<\/p>\n

L\u2019e\u0301quipe de recherche a e\u0301galement appele\u0301 a\u0300 poursuivre les e\u0301tudes ge\u0301ne\u0301tiques de terrain en Afrique, soulignant que, malgre\u0301 sa richesse biologique, culturelle et linguistique, le continent reste largement sous-repre\u0301sente\u0301 dans les bases de donne\u0301es ge\u0301ne\u0301tiques mondiales.<\/p>\n
