Can anyone post any evidence about light skinned Berbers, and when they appeared in the Ancient Egyptian art.

And also if you can provide evidence about their paternal and maternal DNA and how it was affected by female slaves from Europe.

Thanks

Berber does not denote a race, but a region and culture. During the Neolithic, all of what is North Africa was inhabited, for the most part, by aboriginal North Africans and those who had arrived from the Middle East thousands of years earlier. It's the very probable that the original berbers were black and the first fair skin people to step foot on African soil came from the East.

But "coming from the East" re Berbers would be reflected in their Y and MtDNA haplotypes. Can you substantiate your claims?
