[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by typeZeiss: [qb] Anyone know of any DNA studies that have been done on black amazigh in Morocco?

A [b]lot[/b]! You can check out the archives. In the meanwhile I am unaware of studies being limited to Berber groups based on skin color. Like all studies, the groups are sampled are based on ethnicity and locality or region. I get weary when people try to interject skin color. Of course it becomes clear to anyone familiar with North Africans in general or even just Amazigh speakers specifically that there exists phenotypic diversity even within one group i.e. admixture.

Any cursury google image search will show that by and large the Sahrawi like many Berber groups show an overall 'mixed' or so-called "mulatto" look. If one wants to know how the original Amazigh speakers look like, then perhaps the best evidence would be skeletal remains of those alleged speakers or their DNA. My guess is that the aboriginal North Africans (Oranian/Afalou) and perhaps even some of proto-Amazigh speakers who are their partial descendants were relatively light skinned compared to sub-Saharans with complexions akin to Khoisan but they certainly aren't the whitish type idealized by Lioness, her mistress Mathilda, and other Euronuts. I think the E-M81 carriers who spoke pre-proto-Berber were darker in complexion and likely akin to the Beja. In fact I'm reminded of an old Sforza study showing strong autsomal affinities between Tuareg and Beja. [/QB][/QUOTE]
