[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by [b]Amun-Ra The Ultimate[/b]: African people living in the North African countries (usually in the south) are not included in the DNA Tribes database and other DNA research/study databases for that matter. Their samples were just not taken. They were ignored. [b]For example, the Nubian people‎ living in Egypt, the Tibu and Dawada people living in Libya and the [URL=http://underscore][i]Gnawa[/i] people living in Morocco and Algeria[/URL] (among other ethnic groups).[/b] Those people possibly lived *relatively* isolated from other African groups since at least the mid-late Holocene, so they may present some distinctive SNP values different from other black African groups (while sharing distinctive SNP with other African people of course).[/QUOTE]Above. Is Gnawa a typo for Haratin here ? Just a note that Maghrebi Gnawa are descendants of West Africans who came from south of the Sahel and north of the heavily forrested areas since the last few hundred years. Gnawa denotes a non-Berber speaking West African like the Bambara for instance. Excellent point that Saharan blacks' genomes, though sharing many similarities with other Africans, should be distinctive. [/QB][/QUOTE]
