Besides, this information is innaccurate in that the Tuareg don't descend from the Sanhaja but the other way around-- [b]some of the Sanhaja descended from Tuareg!! Also, the Himyar are and have always been a small minority in North Africa. Again, there are those North Africans who want to associate themselves with the Prophet by claiming Himyarite ancestry, but as we can see by the anthropological and genetic data, such claims are void.[/b] What's funny is that the elite families of the Tuareg clans are matrilineal which means they reckon descesnt from the [i]mother's[/i] side! This is contradictoray with Arab strict patrilineal descent! We have been over this many times in other threads such as [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=003476#000002]this[/URL]. Unless you can prove the existance of Berber genetic lineages or languages in Yemen, you have no proof. There [i]are non[/i]. So give it up! Every Muslim does not need to have Arab ancestry! :rolleyes: [/qb][/QUOTE]Look the people who wrote this know more about the Touregs and their lineage than you and I. I have question How could North Africans associate themself with the prophet by claiming to be descended of Himyarites? When Himyarites Arabs are not even related to prophet Mohammed(pbuh)...Prophet Mohammed(pbuh) descended from Adnani Arabs, while Himyarites descended from Qahtani Arabs from Yemen. [/QB][/QUOTE]
