Climate Induced Mobility and the Missing Middle Neolithic of Morocco.
This is my take :
Cardial Ware farmers settled on the Moroccon coasts just before they settled in Southern Iberia.
The Capsian HG remained semi-nomadic and complemented a HG lifestyle with herding and some occasional agriculture.
It proved a better strategy than the Cardial Ware farming.
After 6 ka climate started to deteriorate, causing the 'Green Sahara' to end by about 5,5 ka.
The Cardial Ware farmers dissapeared, but the Berber tribes survived.
The Fregel 2017 paper showed that the Cardial Ware Folks were EEF, while the Capsian HG were E-L19 → M81 proto-Berber.

EEF survived it Europe, which didn't get affected that much by unstable climate, yet there was a later resurgence of WHG.
Where the EEF more vulnerable to changes in climate and nature than HG?
Where they to much dependant on monoculture, while HG who adopted agriculture maintained their hunting and fishing skills?
