[QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by melchior7: [qb] Dana Marniche [b]There has been no change in phenotype Melchior most Berbers are still dark brown and near black in color which is how they are described before the 16th century while the descendants of Greeks and Vandals still look like what they look like - "not black like the Mauri" (per Procopius de Bello Vandalico. )[/b] Really?? I hope you know that the majority of Berbers live in the Northern most parts of North Africa. [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/31/Berber-map-ITA.png[/IMG] The majority are Eurasian looking. And I can post countless pictures which demonstrate this. [IMG]http://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/1940000/images/_1941156_berber3afp150.jpg[/IMG] On the other hand most of the pictures of dark skined Berbers are usually of folks who live deep in the Sahra like Tuareg, Siwa Berbers or Fulani etc. If you don't mind I would ask you to take a look at this thread from Topix where debated this matter to infinity, and weigh in if you care to. I hate to have to keep bringing up the same material over and over again. http://www.topix.com/forum/afam/TVT37FQA3VMA9AMGP/p676#lastPost [/qb][/QUOTE]YES - REALLY - MELCHIOR. Most Berber tribes including the descendants of the Masmuda, Zanata, Kitama, Sanhaja are still dark brown and near black in color. I am not including people who speak Berber and yet have know tribal affiliation such as many of the EURASIANS of North AFRICA! There is no Berber tribe named Kabyle in ancient records now is there. Unless of course we want to consider them the Greek Cabali meantioned by Herodotus. :rolleyes: one of teh reasons we know that a lot of the Berbers did mix with Europeans recently is because of rather large fair skinned tribes like the Ghomara of the northern Atlas who claim descent from a southern Atlas dark brown Masmuda invasion. CAn't win, can you. [IMG]http://i56.tinypic.com/azfgm.jpg[/IMG] Masmuda or Shluh Berber [/QB][/QUOTE]
