[QUOTE]Originally posted by MindoverMatter718: [QB] As in regards to north Africa check this thread.... http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=reply;f=15;t=000999;replyto=000002 [QUOTE]Originally posted by MindoverMatter718: [qb] ^Well, original Berber speakers came from the Eastern Sahara, and these populations also have a predominantly Neolithic origin for their Y chromosome lineages. The NW African Y chromosomes are predominantly African in origin, while their maternal lineages are predominantly non African (Eurasian). [QUOTE]Originally posted by Evergreen: [qb]The Complex and Diversified Mitochondrial Gene Pool of Berber Populations Alternatively, these exchanges could have occurred during history, with the invasion and the occupation during nearly seven centuries (from the 8th to the 15th century) of the Iberian Peninsula by Almoravide then Almohade Muslim Berber troops. [/qb][/QUOTE]Which is were this above alternative theory is more plausible and the maternal gene flow most likely did occur in historic times. Most likely during the Moorish/Muslim era. Where Muslims practiced polygamy and would of taken many wives. [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [qb] "Trafficking of women from the other side of the Mediterranean sea as slaves surely must have left its own mark. This coupled with a tradition of polygamy [especially amongst those sections of north African populations which were Muslim-converts] would have facilitated households with sizeable headcount of offspring per a single male 'owner'. Then there were also sudden waves of migration to the north African coast during the fall of direct northwest African rule in the Iberian peninsula; no doubt families who reached the north African coast had left some genetic imprint therein. And of course, genetic drift has its own role to play in all this. All that aside, a look at samplings so far undertaken in coastal northwest Africa suggests that these have generally relied [i]on sampling small, scattered populations[/i] [see Cherni et al. 2005], giving fragmented or incomplete picture of northwest African maternal gene pool structure." The caveat here is that, if Imazighen populations had found some "white European" groups upon arriving in the northwest African coast, then it certainly doesn't appear to have been one of a large population, with a sizeable European male demography. Contemporary Imazighen speakers of the North African coast have very little to essentially neglegable European male contribution in their gene pool. [/qb][/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
