[/qb][/QUOTE]Probably because she had arab/berber admixture. If she was not of slave descent, she was probably of nomadic descent, which i doubt because she lived in Tunis. Blacks of Tunis descend from slaves. [/qb][/QUOTE][i]A general distinction is maintained between the Wargliyya who are the blacks from the southern Tunisian oases and who are considered more or less indigenous, and the rest of the black population, which is understood as descendants of displaced sub-Saharans, the vast majority of whom were slaves (Zawadowski 1942)[/i] In African Americans there are all sorts of mixtures with whites in average 17-22% But you don't see this very straight hair. It tends toward afro or bushy unless they perm it. The girl looks Oceanic/Tamil to me with that hair unless it's artifically starightened in some way. Maybe she is part of a small ancient Oceanic-looking population of Tunisia There is some mention here of Wargliya in French but I can't read it: http://books.google.com/books?id=a2uYKl_bOsAC&pg=PA132&lpg=PA132&dq=wargliya&sou this is what wikipedia says on the demographics of Tunisia: The majority (98%) of modern Tunisians are Arabized Berber or Arab-Berber, and are speakers of Tunisian Arabic. However, there is also a small (1 percent at most) of pure native Berbers located mainly in the Jabal Dahar mountains in the South East and on the island of Jerba. The Berbers primarily speak Berber languages, often called Shelha, or have shifted to Tunisian Arabic. Demographics of Tunisia, Data of FAO; Number of inhabitants in thousands. Nearly all Tunisians (98 percent of the population) are Muslim. There is a Jewish population on the southern island of Djerba and Tunis. There is also a small indigenous Christian population [IMG]http://i.images.cdn.fotopedia.com/flickr-62420780-hd/People_around_the_World/Arab_States/Tunisia/Old_man_from_Tunisia.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://mathildasanthropologyblog.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/berbers.jpg[/IMG] Muurs!
