Sicilians have 10% Sub-Saharan African DNA. In addition, Sicilians still retain culture from the African invasions of Europe, in particular Northern Africa. Northern African culture has contributed greatly to Sicily with such things as pasta (couscous) ceramics, language, street markets and citrus trees.
