[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Son of Ra: Correct me if I am wrong, but weren't the Vandals expelled from North Africa by the Romans? [/QUOTE]The Vandals and other Germanic groups took over Roman territories in Europe and North Africa in Carthage (429) They ruled for about a hundred years. The Romans regained control in 533 under the Byzantine Justinian but quickly had trouble controlling it. The Arabs began taking over around 642. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Son of Ra: All I am saying is that the bulk of the Eurasian admixture in Northwest Africans came mostly during the 15th century. [/QUOTE]the population of the entire world had increased drastically from the 15th c to now but still not too heavy in the green region here: [IMG]http://worldmap.org/maps/prepared/churchstatus/morocco/morocco_popden.jpg[/IMG] you can't confuse a sparse population with the proportion of admixture. If a sparse population of 100 people had 60% foreign admixture a population 10 times that amount> 10,000 might only have 5% foreign admixture. Was the population of Morocco predominantly indigenous North African from 1-15th centuries? there are some berber tribes mentioned by the Greeks and Romans (and some of these Greeks and Romans say they originated in Troy, others Persia or other non-African places) but even if they were completely indigenous African there were no civilizations or large settlements of them. After the decertification, the Phoenicians were the first to establish larger settlements, 8th century BC. As to Greek accounts of local tribes read this, it takes a while> Accounts of Ancient Mauretania, c. 430 BCE- 550 CE Herodotus: The Histories, c. 430 B.C., Book IV. Strabo: Geography, c. 22 A.D., XVII.iii.1-11. Procopius of Caesarea: History of the Wars, c. 550 A.D.
