[QUOTE]Originally posted by BlessedbyHorus: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [qb] Keep in mind that I'm not denying the existence of modern Berbers with dark skin. My position is these modern Berbers didn't turn out to be what some people here (including me) thought they were before genome-wide studies become popular. Take, for instance, the Zenata Berbers. They have been sampled recently in Central Algeria and this what they look like genetically: http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0138453 They are obviously a hybrid population. They have West African, Maghrebi and other, smaller, contributions. Many people here have considered these so-called 'black Berbers' an ancient and differentiated population associated primarily with E-M81. But their autosomal contributions don't support this because they don't form their own 'Amazigh' cluster (for instance, the Yoruba sample has its own gray cluster in this paper, while the Zenata Berbers belong to several different clusters assigned to neighboring populations). [/qb][/QUOTE]Aye... Now I get what you're saying. Indeed I think I now agree that Modern Berbers today in general are VERY admixed. Whether they be light or dark. There are no "pure" Berbers. But the reason why I posted my post is due to reading scholars mostly mentioning darker skinned Berbers especially during the Moorish period. Of course dark skinned to them could be the same color as say a Beja and not a Yoruba. Anyways I read some lighter skinned Berbers like the kabylia were once darker than they were before. I'll try to find that one. But overall I get what you're saying. To me it seems like Berbers are among the MOST complicated African groups to study in Africa! :eek: You LITERALLY can not have a fixed opinion. My theories on them changed so much but I still consider them(especiay the proto Berbers) an African polulation. [/QB][/QUOTE]
