[QUOTE]Originally posted by Truthcentric: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Son of Ra: [qb] @Truthcentric The thing is most those "Mediterranean" looking North Africans of the coastal part mostly came recently after the 14/15th century from Europe after the Moorish period. The important thing is that during the Moorish period most of Northwest Africa was [b]sparsely[/b] populated. So it would be easy for those newcomers to "outnumber" the indigenous people. The Moors are differently a part of African heritage, because the Berbers as a whole are African and most Berber groups have a native Berber culture. I don't know why you brought up Hannibal since he is most likely of Phoenician descent like you hinted. And also Carthage was really the only major urban setting in NW. But this threads not about the Moors, Carthage or wanting them as a collective heritage, but what is the average phenotype of Northwest Africans today. IMO most modern day Northwest Africans descend from expelled Muslims(European/African/Middle Eastern) from Southern Europe and enslaved Europeans. [/qb][/QUOTE]But what about the predominance of Eurasian mtDNA haplogroups in the remains of pre-Neolithic North Africans that Swenet shared with us in one of his threads? What about those ancient Egyptian images of olive-skinned people among the Libyans? [IMG]http://www.touregypt.net/images/touregypt/enemies7.jpg[/IMG] (Libyan is the furthest left) Mind you, I don't have a problem accepting that Northwest Africa could have undergone some radical demographic changes in the last few millennia the way Egypt did. What I am skeptical about is the claim that the whole Eurasian presence in the region can be attributed to demographic movements that recent. [/QB][/QUOTE]
