[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] ^^^ this seems to be an argument that there is significant genetic contributions to North Africa form Europe due to Barbary pirtates kidnapping and enslavement of Europeans. I'm not sure about how much it represents. I have heard of berbers having European slaves but that was probably rare. It was primarily Ottomans sultans and Arab cohorts. A much greater proportion of these slaves were men. However most of them eventually returned to Europe and it's unlikely that many were mixing and producing children with Ottomans, Arabs or berbers. The smaller number of European women in the Ottoman pasha's harem on the other hand were probably some offspring probably with Ottomans mainly and perhaps also Arabs and the occasional berber who could afford one. The larger number of kidnapped Europeans were kidnapped for ransom or labor. Berbers however had retreated to the mountains to avoid the Ottomans and Arabs and it seems unlikely that they would have much admixture with these kidnapped Eurpeans. Some of the Barbary corsairs, the pirates doing the capturing of Europeans were outcast European coverte to islam themselves. The most famous for instance Hayreddin Barbarossa ("Red Beard"), an Ottoman admiral was born on the Greek island of Lesbos. They had a variety of various North Africans in their crews. They are said to be the original O.G.s In earlier periods prior to Islam there were also Pheonicians cities Carthage being the largest and later take over by Romans and then Germanic Vandals [/QB][/QUOTE]
