[QUOTE]Originally posted by xyyman: [QB] Quote: "The southern Tunisians from Ghannouch, Northerns from Tunis, Algerians and Moroccans (Eljadida) are all related to Moroccan Berbers from Souss area (Table 3) and Tunisians Berbers (our own unpublished results). [b]Therefore, the present-day North African populations are not genetically different from Berbers. [/b]In addition, Lebanese (Table 3) and [b]Arabs from the Arabian Peninsula [23] show bigger distances to North Africans. [/b]This suggests that the 7th century A.D. Arab invasion (and even the 11th century A.D. massive Bedouin immigration) of North Africa does not deeply modify the North African genetic pool, in contrary, they relatively kept their Berber genetic profile. It may be due to that the number of newcomers from the Middle East [b]was probably very low[/b] in comparison with the number of established Berbers. Therefore,[b] southern Tunisians have kept their Berber substratum in spite of the successive invasions of the area [/b]by: Phoenicians (814146 B.C.), Romans (146 B.C.439 A.D.), Vandals (439534 A.D.), Byzantines (534647 A.D.), Arabs (since 644 A.D.), Turks (15741957 A.D.) and French settlement (18811956) [34]. Also, the contribution of Negroid to the southern Tunisian genetic pool was low in spite of their high number in the South of Tunisia. This may be due to cultural barriers. Indeed, The most part of the Negroid live in small communities as those in Gabes (Mdou,Arram),Kebili, Tataouine and Mednine; however, Arab invasions (in 7th and 11th centuries A.D.) had clearly strong social and cultural effects. Indeed, Arabic and Islam are respectively the official language" [/QB][/QUOTE]
