The Garamantes were not Berber speakers

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by [b]Swenet[/b]: I've referred several times now to mtDNA H1 and V and even asked you explicitly to address this genetic data that seemingly points to Capsian heritage in Tuareg, among others. Again, please give your take on this genetic evidence and what role you think it suggests for the Tuareg in the Tunisian/Libyan area, if not long term inhabitation.[/QUOTE][b]Slow down. Go slow, go slow. pt2[/b] I thought I posted this on Friday but found out I didn't so I posted it above today but will post it here again where it counts. No Tuareg ethnic group(s) existed until after Garama was finished. It's anachronistic to speak of ancient and pre-historic North African genetics in terms of Tuareg instead of what it really is the generic genetics of a very broad region in Africa where by the late Holocene many distinct ethnies began forming up until today. To the best of my meager knowledge the Kel came into existence when people at the NW coast of what today is Libya (Tripolitania as the Greeks named this region) fled in the face of Arab intrusion. Traveling south they inhabited the Hoggar (Ahaggar after the Hawara people, themselves immigrants later in time than the Kels) mingling and mixing with its inhabitants and other incoming peoples to become "the Tuareg." At least this is the majority Euro-centered take considering only the northern or Sanhadja major phratry. Usually ignored is the southern or banu Tanamak, the other major phratry. Besides Tubu genetics, Haratin genetics is also vital in understanding the genetic history of the Sahara. Raise a cup to us staying alive until such reports appear. [/QB][/QUOTE]
