KidStranglehold: Do you have proof for your claim?

why should he provide you proof when you haven't proven your claims?

KidStranglehold: Berbers are not one monolithic group and most have majority African genes.

Berbers are not one monolithic group true most have majority African genes false

overwhelmingly majority considered berber today are non black for the lions share...the best way to sell a tale is to blend it with some truth.

niggaz must be sleeping with berbers round this mafacca... all this shid talking about arabs...never got shidddd bad to say bout berbers...Lol

900 BC TO 600 AD the quote unquote original black "berbers" ( which is just reference to foreign tongues) who some believe to be direct ancestors of the taureg and who herodotus described as "shrieking black pygmies" were called garanmantes. people who indulged in crafts like lapidary metallurgy salt refining and glass making before the "prophet" flew down. the shid we see today prostituting as one with the native black when the purpose suits are a product of the invasion and colonization of north africa by the ottomans and the vast induction of millions of white slaves. diop (bless'D be the prophet) already stamped this shid in research, living below the 32d latitude you are talking about some dark peeps as natives. native inhabitants under 32d latitude aint looking like ronald mcdonald round that mafacca. we know the original "berbers" to be dark native inhabitants and NOT the shid we see below that constitute the MAJORITY labeled berber today.

^^^^ if these berbers are fighting not be called arab then.... i don't know what tell them go the fukk back wherever your ancestors came from..i guess.... mafaccas far from looking pygmy to me

now....if these berbers below are fighting not to be called arabs then more power to them

otherwise if these firebrand philosophers (bored kids) are pushing this modern pro black berber agenda they simply don't know what they're talking about and need a big mac shoved down their throats to shut the fukk up.
Re: Somali Military History by romania5: 5:57am On May 20, 2013
hmmm....interesting rant

The Amazigh of today are an overwhelmingly non-black people.

Pro Black Ideology will not not change that fact.

27 out of the 32 million "Berbers" are Atlas to coastal Moroccans and Algerians.

Algerian Kabyl dominate the multi-ethnic Amazigh activists.

The Amazigh movement is virulently anti-black.

Their members claim to be nothing other than African,
in their words "indigenous white Africans."

They project this whiteness into the pre-historic past
even though North Africa was mostly black with
dispersed notice of a few non-blacks here and
there until the European age of exploration

They neither identify with Africa's blacks nor seek alliances with them.

Anyone with a "Berber" parent, aunt, or uncle knows this.

Anyone with actual experience with Amazigh activists knows this.

Anyone familiar with Amazigh internet forums and websites knows this.

I am speaking from direct relation and personal experience with Amazigh
activist from Morocco and Algeria. Moroccans and Algerians not alligned
with the Amazigh activist movement are not virulently anti-black but
they do not identify as black and indeed their average physical types
are virtually non-existant from ~15° north and on down to Cape Alguhas.

Do you remember the Amazigh protests against the movie The Gladiator
led by the World Amazigh Action Coalition against Djimon Hounsou cast
as a leader of Numidian archers because Hounsou is a black?

Even population genetics reports authored by North Africans postulate
the myth of an indigenous white North Africa throughout all time. They
simply discount or ignore all black confirmative data whether genetic,
archaeological, or from Greco-Latin and Arabic written histories.

Neither on the continent nor at the universities or migrant settlements
in the west do Imazighen en masse identify with or travel in the same
social circles as the blacks of Africa (eg., Niger-Kordofanian and Nilo-
Saharan speakers as well as the black Afrisan speakers like the Chadics,
Cushitics, and Ethio-Semitics). Nor do Imazighen participate as blacks in
forums on the internet.
Re: Somali Military History by romania5: 6:08am On May 20, 2013
and niggaz is saying islam was never a problem back in antiquity is uneducated on that... the arab slave trade partly set up africa for the trans atlantic slave trade. islam is "defacto" the blueprint to arabization....how can a nigga say he hates the perpetrator but the manifesto is cool... which one is it nigga....niggaz is contradicting in here.

niggaz like to fantasize about this great knowledge of islamic imperialism like the knowledge they regurgitated had never been fashioned before....it'z like these niggaz done patented a space ship round this mafacca or something. Where did all this great islamic knowledge sprout from... sand dunes in arabia?

Going as far to 85%...

4. Matter fact...Fck Y-DNA. Lets talk about their nDNA.

BERBERS are predominately ''African'' in admixture and remain an indigenous African group.

Nuclear DNA

Note that Moroccans are the Berbers with the most ‘’Eurasian’’ admixture.

^^^^These Berbers are not what the original proto Berbers looked like.

If anything they are a result of European enslavement in North Africa and Vandal invasions.

http://www.jihadwatch.org/2008/09/over-one-million-european-christians-kidnapped-and-enslaved-by-muslims.html
COLUMBUS, Ohio – A new study suggests that a million or more European Christians were enslaved by Muslims in North Africa between 1530 and 1780 – a far greater number than had ever been estimated before.
In a new book, Robert Davis, professor of history at Ohio State University, developed a unique methodology to calculate the number of white Christians who were enslaved along Africa’s Barbary Coast, arriving at much higher slave population estimates than any previous studies had found.
Most other accounts of slavery along the Barbary coast didn’t try to estimate the number of slaves, or only looked at the number of slaves in particular cities, Davis said. Most previously estimated slave counts have thus tended to be in the thousands, or at most in the tens of thousands. Davis, by contrast, has calculated that between 1 million and 1.25 million European Christians were captured and forced to work in North Africa from the 16th to 18th centuries.
Davis’s new estimates appear in the book Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters: White Slavery in the Mediterranean, the Barbary Coast, and Italy, 1500-1800 (Palgrave Macmillan).
“Enslavement was a very real possibility for anyone who traveled in the Mediterranean, or who lived along the shores in places like Italy, France, Spain and Portugal, and even as far north as England and Iceland.”
“Much of what has been written gives the impression that there were not many slaves and minimizes the impact that slavery had on Europe,” Davis said. “Most accounts only look at slavery in one place, or only for a short period of time. But when you take a broader, longer view, the massive scope of this slavery and its powerful impact become clear.”
Davis said it is useful to compare this Mediterranean slavery to the Atlantic slave trade that brought black Africans to the Americas. Over the course of four centuries, the Atlantic slave trade was much larger – about 10 to 12 million black Africans were brought to the Americas. But from 1500 to 1650, when trans-Atlantic slaving was still in its infancy, more white Christian slaves were probably taken to Barbary than black African slaves to the Americas, according to Davis.
“One of the things that both the public and many scholars have tended to take as given is that slavery was always racial in nature – that only blacks have been slaves. But that is not true,” Davis said. “We cannot think of slavery as something that only white people did to black people.”
During the time period Davis studied, it was religion and ethnicity, as much as race, that determined who became slaves.
“Enslavement was a very real possibility for anyone who traveled in the Mediterranean, or who lived along the shores in places like Italy, France, Spain and Portugal, and even as far north as England and Iceland,” he said.
Pirates (called corsairs) from cities along the Barbary Coast in north Africa – cities such as Tunis and Algiers – would raid ships in the Mediterranean and Atlantic, as well as seaside villages to capture men, women and children. The impact of these attacks were devastating – France, England, and Spain each lost thousands of ships, and long stretches of the Spanish and Italian coasts were almost completely abandoned by their inhabitants. At its peak, the destruction and depopulation of some areas probably exceeded what European slavers would later inflict on the African interior.
Although hundreds of thousands of Christian slaves were taken from Mediterranean countries, Davis noted, the effects of Muslim slave raids was felt much further away: it appears, for example, that through most of the 17th century the English lost at least 400 sailors a year to the slavers.
Even Americans were not immune. For example, one American slave reported that 130 other American seamen had been enslaved by the Algerians in the Mediterranean and Atlantic just between 1785 and 1793.
Davis said the vast scope of slavery in North Africa has been ignored and minimized, in large part because it is on no one’s agenda to discuss what happened.
The enslavement of Europeans doesn’t fit the general theme of European world conquest and colonialism that is central to scholarship on the early modern era, he said. Many of the countries that were victims of slavery, such as France and Spain, would later conquer and colonize the areas of North Africa where their citizens were once held as slaves. Maybe because of this history, Western scholars have thought of the Europeans primarily as “evil colonialists” and not as the victims they sometimes were, Davis said.
Davis said another reason that Mediterranean slavery has been ignored or minimized has been that there have not been good estimates of the total number of people enslaved. People of the time – both Europeans and the Barbary Coast slave owners – did not keep detailed, trustworthy records of the number of slaves. In contrast, there are extensive records that document the number of Africans brought to the Americas as slaves.
So Davis developed a new methodology to come up with reasonable estimates of the number of slaves along the Barbary Coast. Davis found the best records available indicating how many slaves were at a particular location at a single time. He then estimated how many new slaves it would take to replace slaves as they died, escaped or were ransomed.
“The only way I could come up with hard numbers is to turn the whole problem upside down – figure out how many slaves they would have to capture to maintain a certain level,” he said. “It is not the best way to make population estimates, but it is the only way with the limited records available.”
Putting together such sources of attrition as deaths, escapes, ransomings, and conversions, Davis calculated that about one-fourth of slaves had to be replaced each year to keep the slave population stable, as it apparently was between 1580 and 1680. That meant about 8,500 new slaves had to be captured each year. Overall, this suggests nearly a million slaves would have been taken captive during this period. Using the same methodology, Davis has estimated as many as 475,000 additional slaves were taken in the previous and following centuries.
The result is that between 1530 and 1780 there were almost certainly 1 million and quite possibly as many as 1.25 million white, European Christians enslaved by the Muslims of the Barbary Coast.
Davis said his research into the treatment of these slaves suggests that, for most of them, their lives were every bit as difficult as that of slaves in America.
“As far as daily living conditions, the Mediterranean slaves certainly didn’t have it better,” he said.
While African slaves did grueling labor on sugar and cotton plantations in the Americas, European Christian slaves were often worked just as hard and as lethally – in quarries, in heavy construction, and above all rowing the corsair galleys themselves.
Davis said his findings suggest that this invisible slavery of European Christians deserves more attention from scholars.
“We have lost the sense of how large enslavement could loom for those who lived around the Mediterranean and the threat they were under,” he said. “Slaves were still slaves, whether they are black or white, and whether they suffered in America or North Africa.”



The Greeks and Romans called the Natives of North Africa Mauros meaning black...
This is NOT BLACK thus not native..(Result of Slavery and white Greek/Vandal invasions):

The Modern Kabyle are 40% Eurasian male and nearly 75% Eurasian female.
Yet their African Y chromosome E3b originates in East Africa..(Like the Original Berbers-see the Siwa)..

Re: Somali Military History by Nobody: 6:37am On May 20, 2013
Siwa Berbers are the closest to the original Berbers. Not only do they live in East Africa where the Berber languages comes from, but also this...

"We originate from the North African Berber tribes known as Amazigh. We are the Siwan Berbers. Because of our geographical ISOLATION we have remained relatively UNCHANGED."
http://www.siwaoasis.com/siwa_culture.html



"Their Practices which are African in Character have not changed for years..

Siwan's are warm friendly people who will say hello and let you on your way. The children are friendly and 'What is your name" will be ringing in your ears on a return to the Villa from wondering around the back streets of the town. Walk further away from the market area and you will become the focus of interest with the level of "what is your name!" increasing with every 100 m walked. They are great people and very different from the rest of Egypt. They are more african in their ways and they do not constantly hassle you for money like most other places in Egypt. Any offer of a trip to their garden or house for tea is genuine and you will be welcome as long as you like."

http://www.somewheredifferent.com/siwa/siwa-locals.html

More Importantly....

Their DNA links them to East Africa(Where the Berber Language originated in the first place)

The mitochondrial DNA variation of 295 Berber-speakers from Morocco (Asni, Bouhria and Figuig) and the Egyptian oasis of Siwa was evaluated by sequencing a portion of the control region (including HVS-I and part of HVS-II) and surveying haplogroup-specific coding region markers. Our findings show that the Berber mitochondrial pool is characterized by an overall high frequency of Western Eurasian haplogroups, a somehow lower frequency of sub-Saharan L lineages, and a significant (but differential) presence of North African haplogroups U6 and M1, thus occupying an intermediate position between European and sub-Saharan populations in PCA analysis. A clear and significant genetic differentiation between the Berbers from Maghreb and Egyptian Berbers was also observed. The first are related to European populations as shown by haplogroup H1 and V frequencies, whereas the latter share more affinities with East African and Nile Valley populations as indicated by the high frequency of M1 and the presence of L0a1, L3i, L4*, and L4b2 lineages. Moreover, haplogroup U6 was not observed in Siwa. We conclude that the origins and maternal diversity of Berber populations are old and complex, and these communities bear genetic characteristics resulting from various events of gene flow with surrounding and migrating populations.

Siwa Berbers:
Re: Somali Military History by Nobody: 6:43am On May 20, 2013
The other Berbers...

Tissint Berbers


Tamegroute/Zarogoza Berbers


Siwa Berbers


Now here is how the Ancient Egyptians REALLY depicted the Ancient Libyans/Berbers...







Again the Berber language even ORIGINATED in EAST AFRICA. And the Siwa Berbers are not only in East Africa, but they are of one of the oldest Berber groups and mostly African.

I believe my work here is done. wink

If lubas are so different from kongos,how can you explain that lubas and loangos are almost exactly the same in everything including names,traditions,etc....?Whereas kongo names usually start with a "ki"(kikaya,kikadidi,.....),lubas and loangos names use exentensively the "chi"(chikaya,chisekedi,chibambe,......).The chikumbi which is a sacred tradition of the lubas is also found exactly the same in the loangos.Hoe ca you account for these facts?

And

*Kails*:


They shared more than "cultural ties"...they shared land and ancestry. Its not a good analogy to try to use her christianed portugese name and ask would it mean she was from portugal...the fact remains her region was part of the greater kongo kingdom which expanded as far as souther gabon, western drc and north west PRESENT DAY angola.

If you disagre, simply post a map of the ancient kingdom of kongo's territory and we can go from there....

And

Haplogroup J2, as previously discussed, is often incorrectly equated with J1 and described as “Jewish” or “Semitic,” despite the fact that it is present in a variety of non-Jewish Mediterranean and Northern European populations.

We genotypedthe putatively causal allele for lactose tolerance (–13910T) and constructed haplotypes from several polymorphisms in and around the lactase gene (LCT) in three NorthAfrican Berber populations and compared our results with previously published data. We found that the frequency of the –13910T allele predicts the frequency of lactose tolerance in several Eurasian and North African Berber populations but not in most sub-Saharan African populations. Our analyses suggest that contemporary Berber populations possess the genetic signature of a past migration of pastoralistsfrom the Middle East and that they share a dairying origin with Europeans and Asians, but not with sub-Saharan Africans.

2010 Berber mtDNA study finds Berber roots foundational in Africa - Frigi 2010


Ancient Local Evolution of African mtDNA Haplogroups in Tunisian Berber Populations

Frigi et al.

Human Biology (August 2010 (82:4)

Abstract

Our objective is to highlight the age of sub-Saharan gene flows in North Africa and particularly in Tunisia. Therefore we analyzed in a broad phylogeographic context sub-Saharan mtDNA haplogroups of Tunisian Berber populations considered representative of ancient settlement. More than 2,000 sequences were collected from the literature, and networks were constructed. The results show that the most ancient haplogroup is L3*, which would have been introduced to North Africa from eastern sub-Saharan populations around 20,000 years ago. Our results also point to a less ancient western sub-Saharan gene flow to Tunisia, including haplogroups L2a and L3b. This conclusion points to an ancient African gene flow to Tunisia before 20,000 years BP. These findings parallel the more recent findings of both archaeology and linguistics on the prehistory of Africa. The present work suggests that sub-Saharan contributions to North Africa have experienced several complex population processes after the occupation of the region by anatomically modern humans. Our results reveal that Berber speakers have a foundational biogeographic root in Africa and that deep African lineages have continued to evolve in supra-Saharan Africa.

berbers are not monolithic group otherwise you wouldn't have the contrast of difference in the photos I posted up top...DUH.... niggaz trying to fix it up now like they only meant some of the black berbers.. since when does "most" and "majority" constitute some...? Lol
Again your an idiot...The Berbers you posted were are a RECENT arrival to North Africa(i.e enslavement, Vandal, invasion,etc). MY main point still STANDS.

romania5:
NIGGAZ NEED A DICTIONARY LMAO
You need to work on your grammar and spelling 101, I barely sometimes understand what you're saying. LMAO!




romania5:
what's to debunk dumbass the overwhelmingly dna studies done on berbers collectively show them to be near 85 percent caucasoid.... OH NEVERMIND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE BLACK BERBERS.... dumbass Lmao!
When did I mention 'black Berbers' dumnfck. Stop projecting things onto. I only said Berbers are an indigenous African group slowpoke.

romania5:
"Coffman-Levy 2005: "Unfortunately, misinformation about these haplogroups continues to pervade the public and media. Haplogroup E3b is often incorrectly described as “African,” leaving a misimpression regarding the origin and complex history of this haplogroup. Haplogroup J2, as previously discussed, is often incorrectly equated with J1 and described as “Jewish” or “Semitic,” despite the fact that it is present in a variety of non-Jewish Mediterranean and Northern European populations. And haplogroup G is rarely discussed in depth; its origin and distribution remain poorly understood."
LMAO!!!! Are you serious? You're now trying to say e3b clades is not AFRICAN??

^^^As you can clearly see...E clades arose in East Africa. Migrated into the Maghreb(where Berbers live) and then Europe.

EPIC FAIL!



romania5:
and where you oringinally provide a link to heavenly_nzinga debunking that nonsense bullshit! Lmao

^^^^ niggaz done ethered his own self Lol


Idiot...heavenly_nzinga was already proven wrong on that thread and I believe he/she already admitted it. Kails and alanmwene are more knewledgable in the Kingdom of Kongo and Queen Nzinga. So I'll take what they say over what you say. AGAIN Queen Nzinga was from the same area where the Kingdom of Kongo was you idiot.

2010 Berber mtDNA study finds Berber roots foundational in Africa - Frigi 2010


Ancient Local Evolution of African mtDNA Haplogroups in Tunisian Berber Populations

Frigi et al.

Human Biology (August 2010 (82:4)

Abstract

Our objective is to highlight the age of sub-Saharan gene flows in North Africa and particularly in Tunisia. Therefore we analyzed in a broad phylogeographic context sub-Saharan mtDNA haplogroups of Tunisian Berber populations considered representative of ancient settlement. More than 2,000 sequences were collected from the literature, and networks were constructed. The results show that the most ancient haplogroup is L3*, which would have been introduced to North Africa from eastern sub-Saharan populations around 20,000 years ago. Our results also point to a less ancient western sub-Saharan gene flow to Tunisia, including haplogroups L2a and L3b. This conclusion points to an ancient African gene flow to Tunisia before 20,000 years BP. These findings parallel the more recent findings of both archaeology and linguistics on the prehistory of Africa. The present work suggests that sub-Saharan contributions to North Africa have experienced several complex population processes after the occupation of the region by anatomically modern humans. Our results reveal that Berber speakers have a foundational biogeographic root in Africa and that deep African lineages have continued to evolve in supra-Saharan Africa.

Libya and the Maghreb:

If the archaeology of the Sahara’s southern margins remains rela- tively poorly understood, the Maghreb has long been the focus of sustained activity focused on the Pleistocene/Holocene transition (Lubell 2000, 2005). Here and at Haua Fteah in northeastern Libya, the Iberomaurusian industry introduced in Chapter 7 continued to be made into the terminal Pleistocene (McBurney 1967; Close and Wendorf 1990). Several unusual features are of interest, including evidence, rare at this time depth, for sculpture. This takes the form of anthropomorphic and zoomorphic ceramic figurines from Afalou, Algeria, baked from locally available clay to temperatures of 500◦–800◦C (Hachi 1996, Hachi et al. 2002). Dating 15–11 kya, they are complemented by an earlier fragmentary figurine from the nearby site of Tamar Hat (Saxon 1976). Distinctive, too, are the many burials known from these later Iberomaurusian contexts, including apparent cemeteries at Afalou (Hachi 1996) and Taforalt, Morocco (almost 200 individuals; Ferembach et al. 1962). Analysis of these remains (see inset) raises issues of territoriality, limited mobility, and group identity that economic data are still too few to explore further.

Knowing that people hunted Barbary sheep and other large mammals and that they collected molluscs, both terrestrial and marine, is very different from being able to develop this checklist of ingredients into a meaningful set of recipes or menus that could illuminate the details of Iberomaurusian subsistence-settlement strategies.


WHAT BONES CAN TELL: BIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES ON THE HUNTER-GATHERERS OF THE MAGHREB:

The extremely large skeletal samples that come from sites such as Taforalt (Fig. 8.13) and Afalou constitute an invaluable resource for understanding the makers of Iberomaurusian artifacts, and their number is unparalleled elsewhere in Africa for the early Holocene. Frequently termed Mechta-Afalou or Mechtoid, these were a skeletally robust people and definitely African in origin, though attempts, such as those of Ferembach (1985), to establish similarities with much older and rarer Aterian skeletal remains are tenuous given the immense temporal separation between the two (Close and Wendorf 1990). At the opposite end of the chronological spectrum, dental morphology does suggest connections with later Africans, including those responsible for the Capsian Industry (Irish 2000) and early mid-Holocene human remains from the western half of the Sahara (Dutour 1989), something that points to the Maghreb as one of the regions from which people recolonised the desert (MacDonald 1998).

Turning to what can be learned about cultural practices and disease, the individuals from Taforalt, the largest sample by far, display little evidence of trauma, though they do suggest a high incidence of infant mortality, with evidence for dental caries, arthritis, and rheumatism among other degenerative conditions. Interestingly, Taforalt also provides one of the oldest known instances of the practice of trepanation, the surgical removal of a portion of the cranium; the patient evidently survived for some time, as there are signs of bone regrowth in the affected area. Another form of body modification was much more widespread and, indeed, a distinctive feature of the Iberomaurusian skeletal sample as a whole. This was the practice of removing two or more of the upper incisors, usually around puberty and from both males and females, something that probably served as both a rite of passage and an ethnic marker (Close and Wendorf 1990), just as it does in parts of sub-Saharan Africa today (e.g., van Reenen 1987). Cranial and postcranial malformations are also apparent and may indicate pronounced endogamy at a much more localised level (Hadjouis 2002), perhaps supported by the degree of variability between different site samples noted by Irish (2000).

KidStranglehold: Our results reveal that Berber speakers have a foundational biogeographic root in Africa and that deep African lineages have continued to evolve in supra-Saharan Africa.


where in that does it reveal most modern berber populations having majority african genes?
you can't show me because it doesn't exist in the study Lmao

KidStranglehold: I only said Berbers are an indigenous African group slowpoke.

^^^^ liar liar liar pants on fire!.... Lol

you responded to a chart with modern berbers clustered with non-africans with this:
KidStranglehold: Berbers are not one monolithic group and MOST have MAJORITY African genes.




Biocultural Emergence of the Amazigh in Africa: Comment on Frigi et al. (2010)
S. O. Y. Keita. Human Biology (August 2010) (82:4)
Frigi and colleagues suggest that several populations over time were involved
in the biological ancestry of the current Berber speakers, and this is consistent
with archaeological evidence of actual migration in the mid- to late Holocene
(Camps 1982) as well as historical documentation.

Coudray et al. 2008
614 individuals from 10 different regions (Morocco (Asni, Bouhria, Figuig, Souss), Algeria (Mozabites), Tunisia (Chenini-Douiret, Sened, Matmata, Jerba) and Egypt (Siwa))[45] the results may be summarized as follows :
Total Eurasian lineages (H, HV, R0, J, T, U (without U6), K, N1, N2, X) : 50-90%
Total sub-Saharan lineages (L0, L1, L2, L3, L4, L5) : 20-50
Total North African lineages (U6, M1) : 0-30
Berbers display a heterogeneous autosomal profile but in general autosomal markers are predominantly European or Eurasian with a minor but significant Sub-Saharan African component. As a result, Berber populations possess a genetic profile that is intermediate between Europeans and Sub-Saharan Africans. Analysis of HLA markers has shown that Berbers have a close genetic relationship with Mediterranean Europeans but also possess some characteristics of Sub-Saharan Africans

Salloum A, et al. (2013)
http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0054616#pone-0054616-g002
The two leading principal components displayed in Figure 2 capture 47.9% and 26.9% of the variance showing a well-defined separation between Mediterranean African populations and sub-Saharan populations (Fig 2a). There is a clear cluster of North African populations comprised of Libyans, Moroccans, and Tunisians.


^^^^ so what do we have here at the least is a heavily mixed modern day population.... that's constantly being grouped off with non-africans... Lol

"Africa after the Last Glacial Maximum, with some migration into the
Near East and southern Europe (Bosch et al. 2001; Underhill et al. 2001).
Hence, contrary to the suggestion that mtDNA haplogroups were introduced
mostly from Iberia, it seems that Y-chromosome markers have an eastern
African origin with an ancient local evolution in North Africa. These observations
are in agreement with the proposal that the ancient communities ancestral
in language to more recent Berber communities absorbed a lot of females from
the existing pre-Holocene populations. This would indicate that the North African
populations arose from admixture rather than from local evolution, leading
to an intermediate genetic structure between eastern sub-Saharan Africans and
Eurasians"


-Frigi

^^^^ this is also from that frigi study... Lol so much for an ancient local evolution for majority modern day populations Lol... "MACHINE GUN FIRE" ....... and itz soooooo sweetz LMAO

BEEKER BEEKER 1-9 man down!....man down!...Lol

kidstrangle thinks he can out slick oil itself..... i advise anyone who thinks what kidstrangle has "pasted" pertaining to his clamis of "most berbers having majority african genes" visit the link below where one of the studies where discussed and the tone of discussion is far from that of the theory of "majority modern berber speakers w/ primarly african genetic make-up." http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=008395

again this dude has been flip-flopping the issue with tired azz gimmicks... notice how when I purposely citied coffman-levy the dude jumped for joy! niggaz 'bout had a stroke trying to log back in.... Ahhhhh.... a breath of fresh air "cause I seriously fukk'd up when I blurted most berbers having majority african genes" .... he could've simply re/phrased that and said "specific" groups of berbers have majority african genetic make up.... but no let the resident anthropologist tell it.... Lol

KidStranglehold: I believe he/she already admitted it

now YOU are protruding things onto others... heavenly_nzinga didnt admit shid other than the fact of shared cultural ties and educated u on the fact that she was not kongolese and by the looks of the discussion she SUCCEEDED Lol seemingly knowlegdeable about the queenz life 2 lol...

^^^ again another bold faced lie.... Lol

let me know when you actually indulge in some first hand research there bud...Lol

that way you'll know what you're actually pasting then LMAO

why would i need to debunk something that i have advocated at the beginning.... if i was under the assumption ancient north africans were not black WHY WOULD I QUOTE "HERODOTUS" and lay out a few reasons as to why the genetic drift took place.... CUT THE GIMMICKS Lol you fukk'D up and made a very uneducated opinion supported by virtually no evidence besides showing a subclade of eb3 being prevalent in berber male lineage!...but fukk that... expound on why MODERN BERBER POPULATIONS are overwhemingly being clustered with non african groups if MAJORITY have AFRICAN GENETIC MAKE-UP?....Lol

dis niggaz mak'N phenotype geneotype all kindz of thread typez and don't even fully understand the research behind it...Lol

no disrespect, but someone with such an earnest interest in these matters to get school'd by niggaz that hardly followz genetics.... just can't be taken seriously... niggaz just can't take ya seriously at all man Lol shiiidddd all this copy'N and paste'N like u got me gett'N banz & shiddd round dis mafacca.
