Could the Barbary Slave Trade Explain European mtDNA Haplogroups in North Africa

[elghund]

Could the mtDNA haplougroups found in North Africa and parts of South Africa be a surviving remnant of the Barbary Slave Trade?

Robert Davis, a professor of history at Ohio State Univeristy, said that between one million and 1.25 million European slaves were taking to North Africa between 1530 and 1780.

Nope, there is mesolithic remains already in North-Africa with "european" mtDNA

Is there a link to the study of mesolithic remains that have Eurasian haplogroups?

There is the ancient DNa section here at Eupedia, but it doesn't include non-european remains, like the north-african ones. In Morocco there is 12,000 ybp Mesolithic mtDNA from 21 samples :

H/V/U=12 57%, H=4 19%, H/V=3 14%, V=2 9.5%
