[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] All this stuff we are talking about at the moment is prehistoric, many lack of continuity issues involved The thread topic is are the berbers of 2014 as a whole, primarily African. I suppose in this case "primarily" means 51% In this situation where the stats may be straddling in the middle and the wide diversity of modern day berbers I think it would be hard to make a case with certainty one way or the other. Suppose modern day berbers are 42% African? That would make them 58% non-African On the other hand what if they are 58% African and only 42% non-African? (keep in mind there's a whole relatively recent Islamic expansion into NA to consider) Say it's either one of the above cases 42/58 or 58/42 ? what relevance is that apart from some rhetorical game on who wins by being greater than 50? It's not learning it competitiveness on a number for it's own sake. The more relevant point is that the berbers of today are a very ethnically mixed group and Maghrebians as a whole even less percentage indigenous African (although significant) The other more relevant issue is Was there significant non African input into North Africa 10-12,000 years ago? It shouldn't be a big puzzle, the extracted DNA. That trumps speculation on ambiguous physical morphology in this case. Predictably if Greece or Mesopotamia were being discussed and African DNA mentioned the same people would be parading the DNA [/QB][/QUOTE]
