KidStranglehold: I'm sorry man, its just certain people need to learn how to mind their business. -__-

KidStranglehold: @romania5

Also try to debunk this if you can.

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.

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

KidStranglehold: Berbers are not one monolithic group and MOST have MAJORITY African genes.

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)

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.

KidStranglehold: I believe he/she already admitted it

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.

KidStranglehold: Then what are you trying to prove?

KidStranglehold: LMAO!!! @ you continuing to use that chart.

KidStranglehold: 2. That chart you love to use so much is flawed itself, because again Berbers are not a monolithic group(you yourself supposedly agreed with me), its actually a language group. Some Berbers group more with Europeans, while others group more with Africans(Siwa Berbers). Get what I'm saying? So Berbers clustering with Europeans is flawed...

KidStranglehold: And let me reiterate with this. African Y-DNA in Maghreb(Berbers) and Europe.

KidStranglehold: ^^^Try to debunk that if you can...Mwhahahahahahahahahahahah!

KidStranglehold: Where originally discussed...

KidStranglehold: most have majority African genes.

KidStranglehold: Why is this Romania5 guy all upset over one post I made disagreeing with him about the Berbers. LOL...He seems to hold a grudge ever since I made that post. Okay...

KidStranglehold: 2. Yes Berbers ARE NOT a monolithic group

KidStranglehold: ^^^^Note that's just Moroccan Berbers who are the most mixed.
