[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE] Originally posted by Tukuler: I see nothing peculiar about those traits especially the former [b]besides Maurusians bowing out millennia before taMazight existed.[/b][/QUOTE]..... if you define Berbers as the Berber speaking population they got their language and most of their Y Chromosomes from, then yes. Not if you define them as the Ibero-Maurusian + Capsian substratum that their k-based and mtDNA TMRCAs suggests they are. If you look at the latter they're almost entirely comprised of this putative Ibero-Maurusian + Capsian ancestry. Its also interesting that the extremely high on Franco-Cantabrian refuge mtDNA H1 Libyan Tuaregs inhabit a region that's very close to the Easternmost territory of the Capsians. This too, seems to suggest very long (10kya) local ties of the Tuareg H, V based maternal genepool to the Western Libyan region. [QUOTE] Originally posted by Tukuler: But please trace Fezzanis backwards from today to Garamante times.[/QUOTE]I'm not sure that the Tuareg ethno-genesis stretches that far back in time, though I may be wrong. I'm sure there is at least something to glean from looking at the populations who inhabit the Fezzan today, and slowly excluding unlikely matches like Arabs and Tebu who seem to have arrived later. How many non-Berber indigenous groups are there today in the Fezzan? Is there credence to maps like these?
