I'm Australian and I did an DNA test. I have huge percentage from the Scotland, Ireland, Northern Scandinavian countries Germanic the Canaries and very proud to also be 1% MORROCAN
You most likely don't though, these companies are known to add some random 1-3% of non-Euro to people of European descent in the hopes of making us more inclusive and more open to immigration.
My father is Italian and my mother is Moroccan. My mother's siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles .. are pure Moroccans (not directly mixed like me), she is one of the few people in her family who married someone not Moroccan, yet that big Moroccan family came in different shapes, shades and eye and hair colours. What really fascinates me is that my aunt is naturally blonde (light brown and golden hairs and brown eyes) and her husband is brown skin with dark features and eyes and their children are different but each one of them look like someone from the family and this has been going from generations. For example her older son is light skinned and blond like her with brown eyes and even he's blonde and very light he has his father's features, her twin daughters are Brown skin with black silky hair and green eyes like our grandfather (my mother and aunt's father) who was light skin, so they got that brown skin from their own father and the eyes from our grandfather.. same thing with almost the whole family. My mom's siblings don't look all the same, same thing for their cousins and the big family. If you visit the mountains and small towns in Morocco you'll understand, even the indigenous people there are either are small groups who look the same or a larger diverse group and they have all lived there for ages. So basically they have been mixing for thousands of years with no problem at all. Since the oldest human skull in the world was find near Agadir, Morocco, the country basically is not only a rich cultured and colourful country, but the people are also diverse and colourful due to that rich history this beautiful country has ❤ I love this natural unintentional mixing among the same nation. Morocco fought Portugal and Turkey when they were at the peak of their legacy and strength and accomplishments just to safe this uniqueness they've got with their Moorish Empires and kingdoms and of course with what came before Islam and Christ as it was mentioned in this video. I'm really proud of that and I really appreciate it very much ❤❤❤
@@aymanardo1322 Maybe new national diversity can be a bad thing sometimes. I mean, with some immegrants who don't respect the laws and other people from other races or even the locals and indigenous people of that county.. Yes I agree. But this kind of diversity exists in everything old and rich cultured country in the world. Just like Morocco, the same thing exists in India, China, Egypt, Iran, between Greece and Turkey, Ireland and the UK, Iraq, Mexico, Sudan and Ethiopia, Colombia Venezuela and Brazil ... etc
North Africans are a unique population. 100% true i am Moroccan and i always get recognized as Moroccan by other Moroccan no matter where I am or how i Dress. At the same time i always recognize Moroccans around the world. :D
One Moroccan pilote went on vacation in the 80 to Samoa islands he said he believed that his wife and him were the first moroccans had put feet on that land ...while they were visiting one village they noticed one man standing out door and following them with his eyes strangely but all of the sudden he run towards them with open arms...."you surely are moroccans. !!??"said in a south Moroccan accent "I got chills when i saw you!!!!....." Moroccan DNA has been generating The man has established there since 75 was an artisanal hand graft in an Italian movie stuff Things had began in a story like this ...one man is apart of nature

Thank you so much! This helped me understand my partial Moroccan Ancestry--having a Great Great Grandfather who was half Moroccan. This also helped confirm my research that my ancestors from Morocco had Morisco and Arab, and Amazigh ancestry.
@brixcosmo6849 We are, after all, same blood, I always think about it. We need to think about what brings us together and live in harmony and peace bro. Best regards from Morocco to the famillia in Portugal.
@@med8895 Exactly! We're at peace with Morocco for Centuries. It's one of the most popular places for Portuguese to go on Vacations for example. And even a couple of months ago we lost to Morocco in the World Cup and Morocco 100% deserved to win and a lot of us right away started rooting for Morocco to win the Championship. There's no animosity whatsoever. Generally speaking. There's always Primitive persons in any country. Our battles in Medieval times were about different Kingdoms/Religions mostly. We not only study "Muslim Moors" (Arabs, Amzighs, Ummayad Caliphate, Almoravids, Almohads, Nasrids, etc) as part of our origins as we value the Influences left in the so called Ummaayd occupation of the Iberian Peninsula (Al-Andalus) . For me as an Architect i love Moroccan Architecture, specially in Chefchaouen, 'cause it reminds me of Algarve and Alentejo. You can see how we were influenced by it. I love Ancient Architecture and its History. And you can't dissociate Civilizations History from Architecture History itself. That's my Religion 'cause i'm not religious at all nor is my Family. I was educated to respect everyone's ethnicities, cultures and religions though. My mom's family is originally from Algarve. And my Father's Family from Alentejo. Both Regions more influenced by the Moors in Portugal, ethnically and culturally. We're proudly Mouros! Just like a great part of Portuguese are since the birth of Portuguese Kingdom in 1143, 880 years ago. Best Regards from Portugal! All the best for you and your Family!
I do want to share with you my fascination with our unique architecture and the captivating Zelij tiles with their intricate patterns, which are exclusive to Morocco and the Iberian Peninsula. Regarding the name "ALGARVE," I believe it literally translates to "the WEST." I'd like to emphasize that in Morocco, we hold a great deal of respect for the Portuguese people. We recognize that the past is behind us, and from both scientific and biological perspectives, we are actually more closely related to each other than to Arabs from the Middle East, for instance. I'm truly enthusiastic about the opportunity to visit Portugal in the future. It's a destination that greatly appeals to me. Please send my regards to your Mum, Papa and all the family.
@@fitsumawit Amazighs (Berbers) are indigenous to North Africa since at least 2000BC (According by the first records of them by Egyptians) after migrating from the Nile Valley. But rupestre (primitive) paintings found in caves in Maghreb indicates they might have been there since 10.000BC. But Amazighs (Berbers) were a group of tribes. Amarahs only emerged in 12th Century AD. But who says they didn't get to Ethiopia migrating from North Africa to the South. Migrations always worked in several directions according to several factors. From natural ones to conflict related ones. "Amharas (Amharic: አማራ, romanized: Āmara; Ge'ez: ዐምሐራ, romanized: ʾÄməḥära)are a Semitic-speaking ethnic group which is indigenous to Ethiopia, traditionally inhabiting parts of the northwest Highlands of Ethiopia, particularly inhabiting the Amhara Region. According to the 2007 national census, Amharas numbered 19,867,817 individuals, comprising 26.9% of Ethiopia's population, and they are mostly Oriental Orthodox Christian (members of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church). They are also found within the Ethiopian expatriate community, particularly in North America. They speak Amharic, an Afro-Asiatic language of the Semitic branch which serves as the main and one of the five official languages of Ethiopia. As of 2018, Amharic has over 32 million native speakers and 25 million second language speakers. The Amhara and neighboring groups in North and Central Ethiopia and Eritrea, more specifically the diaspora refer to themselves as "Habesha" (Abyssinian) people. Origins The earliest extants of the Amhara as a people, dates to the early 12th century in the middle of the Zagwe Dynasty, when the Amhara were recorded of being in conflict in the land of Wargih against the Wärjih in 1128 AD. A non-contemporary 13th or 14th century hagiographical source from Saint Tekle Haymanot traces Amhara even further back to the mid 9th century AD as a location."
Good video Fun fact: the region in NA with the highest amount of Iberomaurusian ancestry is the Souss, with percentages ranging up to 49% (from the results we currently have)
Given that north africa is part of the Mediterranean area, it was obviously a place where different ethnicities and civilisations met and intermarried, but the vast majority of Moroccans have a very high Amazigh component to their dna, most time higher than 70% if you believe my heritage results.

@@jamilsuriel4406 A lot of Portuguese and Spanish that landed in South America in 1500's where Portuguese of Moorish Ancestry. Arabs and Amazighs (Berbers). João Vaz Corte-Real, Alvar Nuñez "Cabeza de Vaca", los Hermanos Niño (Juan, Pedro Alonso y Francisco), etc. A lot of these early Navigators and sailors where from Moorish families from the South of Portugal and Spain that converted to Christianity and embraced the news Kingdoms (Portugal (since 1143) and Spain). That's also why we are Morenos. But the mixing of Iberians and South Italians goes back to The Phoenicians that emerged in Levante (Lebanon, Syria) in 3000BC and around 1100BC spread all around the Mediterranean Sea with Trade Ports and Cities in Levante, North Africa, South Iberian Peninsula, South Italy, Greece, Malta. All People around the Mediterranean Sea mixed thousands of years before the Age of Discovery. Portuguese and Spanish that got to South America in 1500's could be more white like Visigoths (Christian Germanics) or more Morenos like Arabs/Amazighs. Just like Romans, Greeks, Egyptians centuries before already had that diversity of ethnicities.
Great channel, your content is very interesting, also gives a great glimpse into the many cultures so little of us are familiar with. I’m from a very diversified Canada so a bit of knowledge really helps in our interactions with each other
Portuguese started to sail to Canada around 1470. In 1472-1473 my ancestor João Vaz Corte-Real was sent to Denmark to re-establish the alliance between the Portuguese Kingdom and the Danish Kingdom. Both Kingdoms were connected by Families. He set sail from Ilha Terceira, Azores Archipelago with João Fernandes Labrador another Navigator from the Island. In thecway they found what they named as Terranova-Labrador (Newfoundland-Labrador) a.k.a. "A Terra dos Corte-Reaes" a.k.a. "A Terra dos Bacalhaus". Bacalhau (Codfish) became a commom resource in every Portuguese Caravels during the Age of Discovery (15th-17th Cents.) 'cause when salted and dried endured months and it was game changing to feed the boat crews in voyages that took months. To this day Codfish is very common in Portuguese Cuisine and the best one is advertised as "Bacalhau da Terranova" (Codfish from Newfoundland). Two of the three sons of João Vaz Corte-Real, Gaspar and Miguel Corte-Real, continued to sail to North America, Canada and Greenland in joint ventures with the Danish Kingdom. Gaspar Corte-Real and his crew vanished in his last voyage in 1501 supposedly at Coasts of Canada while his brother Miguel Corte-Real had sailed to Mediterranean Sea to help the Venetians against the Turkish-Ottoman. When he got back to Ilha Terceira, Azores and knew about his brother he set sail to North America to try to find him. He would eventually vanish too leaving a clue in the Rock of Dighton, Massachusetts where he carved the Christian Cross all Caravels had in its sails followed by a sentence in Latin that says "By god's will, here i became chief of the Indians". He was never seen again. Danish sailors also participated in the first the first voyages that Portugal made to Africa trying to find the route to India to bypass the Turkish-Ottoman that had controlled all Mediterranean Sea trading of Asian Spices. A big profitable trading in Europe back in those days. Fun fact: I also have family in Toronto, Canada since 100 years ago that migrated from Ilha Terceira, Azores where my GGFather and GFather were born. All members of the Corte-Real Family. Best Regards from Portugal 🇵🇹❤🇨🇦
I really enjoy your videos. They are concise and well done. I am enjoying learning about all these different people. It's fascinating how all the different migrations play out in DNA
I have Moroccan Spanish and Portuguese Jew which is Sephardic ancestry through DNA Consultant through my father side. Plus with Family tree have North African/Maghrebi and Gedmatch it showed Ethiopian Jew, Moroccan, Yemeni, Jordanian matches.

Very interesting and again shows that Africa wasnt and isn't a one race continent. Very important to note the many different ethnicities that have coexisted for centuries. Need more of these videos
The "black race" doesn't exist. You got multiple races in Africa. The "black race" is a made up concept by the Europeans. You can't tell me that the San people of South Africa are of the same race as the Wolof people or the Fulani. They look nothing alike. Only people who aren't truly aware of what Africans are and how they differ, can say the "black race" exists.
@@geerenmo The race is one: human race. The phenotypes are different . But A group of sub-Saharan black phenotypes exists, however. Which does not mean they have to be identical or looking perfectly alike.
@@giorgiodifrancesco4590 Incorrect. The human race does not exist either. The human species does. It's a common mistake, more linguistically than anything.

A few historical facts, in case you were wondering who the North Africans are: - There are 6000+ years writings in a variant of Tifinagh found in caves. - Imazighen are the biggest indigenous North African ethnic group. - Imazighen are mentioned in Egyptian hyroglyphs. - Some Pharaos were Amazigh.
My father is from Amazigh origin although he did not speak amazigh neither his father because our elderly father migrated from Ida Ousemlal in beginning of 17th century to Chaouia. But all this is shit for me because when i moved to Agadir i realised that more than 50% of the local population are just pieces of shit.

By the way, not everything he says is entirely right. For example, he considers Moroccan Darija speakers as true Arabs coming from the East, while genetic studies, such as those of National Geographic for example, show that they are most often Arabized Amazighs throughout history. Genetics is studied in parallel with history, anthropology, toponymy and linguistics, and all these factors show that the Arab presence of the magnitude of current Arabic speakers in Morocco is a myth.

I have Moroccan heritage and I think you might be slightly underplaying the Jewish influence here, it is my understanding that the Mediterranean influence you speak of at the start is largely connected to the expulsion of the jews from Israel and long journey taken to get around to Spain. Then during the Alhambra decree close to 300,000 were exiled to Spain which helps explain such high levels of Levantine, Anatolian and the Italian/Greek, French ancestry which got picked up along the way. I would love to hear your take on this and the Jewish diaspora in general. Otherwise very interesting video.

This is not about Cultural influence, it's about DNA. The Jews remain endogamous wherever they are. Having said that, it may be easy to identify a European Jew but very hard to distinguish a non-Sephardic Middle-eastern or North African Jew from the main population.
@@AdamSahr-cj4kf That's my point though, because the populations moved around (or were forced to move around), they carried with them DNA from the areas they were coming from, thus bringing in more Mediterranean DNA or Levantine DNA into north Africa. So while you're right that Sephardic jews wouldn't be that different DNA-wise in the same way Ashkenazi's are, they bring genetic diversity which would otherwise not have made it to north Africa in the same volumes.
And from Spain which is loaded with RH negative o blood in the basque area. Of course there has been much migration going on since the dawn of ages when some of shems relatives took off to go east during the time of peleg . And that was a time when the earth was divided.
Interesting analysis....I've seen DNA results of some Moroccans being 100% North African without the Iberian and Italians admixture. What North Africans and many Arab and Levantine populations have in common are Y DNA haplogroups E1b1b and J1 variants that also spread into Greece but had an African origin and West Asian origin. Some of the Natufians DNA results show a lot of Middle Eastern farmers and West Asian ancestry but also a degree of for lack of a better word "Sub Saharan" component. Natufians were for the most part in the E1b1b family that originated out of East Africa but the data keeps on changing as more advancement in DNA technology, categories and discoveries increases.
E1b is originally african, migrated to Egypt and Europe Presence of R1b in north Africa fundamentals for the origin of the "race" ibero mauritana (R1b Anatolian and preindoeuropean) +E1b
@@angelmoreno6577 Egypt is in Africa. Although the Iberimaurisian and Capsain cultures where what is now Morocco and Algeria, the appearance of R1b-M269 is not always present in many Amazigh DNA results depending of course on the country in question. I've seen DNA results of people in Morocco and Mauritania with high 90s to 100% North African results and other tests with 7-15% Iberian or Greek/Italian...of course we know about the Roman presence in North Africa for centuries and later the Turks taking nearly all of the Magreb except maybe Morocco and there genetic impact on the region... Haplogroups G, J, R1a to name a few. Haplogroup R has had a presence in Africa specifically R-V88 in countries like Chad and Cameroon from a back migration some say around 35,000 years ago. Genetics are random and the continent of Africa has the most diverse genetics of any landmass.
@@philliparieff7862 I'm "Black" but also have a bit of Jewish ancestry carrying both J1 and J2b along with E1B1B variants in my genome. For lack of a better word, "the Jewish haplogroup" originating out of Libya or the Horn are E-M215 and E-M213 but most Jews and Arabs carry variants of J.
The Tuareg people are not admixed with "Sub-Saharan" just because of the trans-Saharan slave trade. There were "Black" populations indigenous to North Africa, particularly the Sahel area in pre-historic periods(before 5000CE) when the Sahara was still largely grassland. The Tashwinat Mummy proves that.
The Tuareg territory is located 2,000 km from and beyond the coast of North Africa, so the inhabitants of the Sahara, ancient or contemporary, have nothing to do with the inhabitants of ancient or contemporary North Africa, Sahara and North Africa are two distinct territories.
@@anteversus8471 Says you. The Sahara and Sahel regions were once considered a part of North Africa. The classic example is the Ancient Egyptian Civilization that stretched from the Nile River Delta in the North over 1000 km to the 1st cataract in Aswan in the South. When the Sahara desertified in historic periods, only then did North Africa became more isolated cultural and genetically from the rest of Africa.
I think the problem start when we mix ethnicity with the colour of a skin....which is the most common mistake people make, ethnically the black berber are not related to others black ethnics!yes the black berber are indigenous to North africa,they r black not brown but people assimilate them to the black trade because of their skin colour😒objectively the whole continent has so many ethnicity and are not related at all by culture/language or blood yet many assimilate them as 1 group(the black Africans) the controversy of that documentary about cleopatra shows how people are "stupidly" mixing up skin colour with ethnicity,for black American an African is black but they don't understand that for Africans being black doesn't define your identity or history....no African will claim cleopatra as black African cause she was from a Macedonian dynasty, in Africa people talk about their ethnicity not their colour.....a German is not a Russian even if both are white!
it's true, in Tassili in Algeria, people are black and have been there for millennia, it's an indigenous people, nothing to do with slavery, just like the sub-Saharan dna of North Africans who have always been there and have nothing to do with slavery (the iberomaurisien were 36% sub-Saharan)
make a video explaining the skin color of the Arabs and about the skin color and origins of the natufians were they black? or brown? Or would they have a more beige skin tone? many say that the ancient Arabs and Jews were black but how were they black since their populations in different countries are not black and if they were please explain so that I can understand this and lastly are the Arabs and Jews related to the Persians?

West Africa had many empires, not every admixture is do to the slave trade. The richest man to ever live was a Mali king named Munsa Mosa before the transatlantic slave trade.

I noticed the portuguese and spanish arent differentiated. Is that because they're genetically indistinguishable? Lol, what does that say about that strong independent Portuguese identity and the fanatical fanfare it attracts?
You can distinguish between western Spain/Portugal and Eastern Spain, as there is a West-East clide. But Portuguese are indistinguishable from western Spaniards, particularly people from Galicia and Extremadura. Some genetic tests "distinguish" between the two, but what they really do is assigning Portuguese to the most western-like Iberian results, and Spanish to the most eastern-like Iberian results. Hence you get a large percentage of Spaniards who turn out to be 80% "Portuguese", lol.
@@goodaimshield1115 thanks for sharing. I would have assumed as much for Galicia, but not for extremadura, as they don't have any lingual similarity, unless I'm missing something. I think there is a small group of people that speak sort of a hybrid of both languages, but only along the boarder.

My father is Italian and my mother is Moroccan. My mother's siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles .. are pure Moroccans (not directly mixed like me), she is one of the few people in her family who married someone not Moroccan, yet that big Moroccan family came in different shapes, shades and eye and hair colours. What really fascinates me is that my aunt is naturally blonde (light brown and golden hairs and brown eyes) and her husband is brown skin with dark features and eyes and their children are different but each one of them look like someone from the family and this has been going from generations. For example her older son is light skinned and blond like her with brown eyes and even he's blonde and very light he has his father's features, her twin daughters are Brown skin with black silky hair and green eyes like our grandfather (my mother and aunt's father) who was light skin, so they got that brown skin from their own father and the eyes from our grandfather.. same thing with almost the whole family. My mom's siblings don't look all the same, same thing for their cousins and the big family.
If you visit the mountains and small towns in Morocco you'll understand, even the indigenous people there are either are small groups who look the same or a larger diverse group and they have all lived there for ages. So basically they have been mixing for thousands of years with no problem at all. Since the oldest human skull in the world was find near Agadir, Morocco, the country basically is not only a rich cultured and colourful country, but the people are also diverse and colourful due to that rich history this beautiful country has ❤
I love this natural unintentional mixing among the same nation. Morocco fought Portugal and Turkey when they were at the peak of their legacy and strength and accomplishments just to safe this uniqueness they've got with their Moorish Empires and kingdoms and of course with what came before Islam and Christ as it was mentioned in this video. I'm really proud of that and I really appreciate it very much ❤❤❤

@@med8895 Exactly! We're at peace with Morocco for Centuries. It's one of the most popular places for Portuguese to go on Vacations for example. And even a couple of months ago we lost to Morocco in the World Cup and Morocco 100% deserved to win and a lot of us right away started rooting for Morocco to win the Championship. There's no animosity whatsoever. Generally speaking. There's always Primitive persons in any country. Our battles in Medieval times were about different Kingdoms/Religions mostly. We not only study "Muslim Moors" (Arabs, Amzighs, Ummayad Caliphate, Almoravids, Almohads, Nasrids, etc) as part of our origins as we value the Influences left in the so called Ummaayd occupation of the Iberian Peninsula (Al-Andalus) .
For me as an Architect i love Moroccan Architecture, specially in Chefchaouen, 'cause it reminds me of Algarve and Alentejo. You can see how we were influenced by it. I love Ancient Architecture and its History. And you can't dissociate Civilizations History from Architecture History itself. That's my Religion 'cause i'm not religious at all nor is my Family. I was educated to respect everyone's ethnicities, cultures and religions though. My mom's family is originally from Algarve. And my Father's Family from Alentejo. Both Regions more influenced by the Moors in Portugal, ethnically and culturally. We're proudly Mouros! Just like a great part of Portuguese are since the birth of Portuguese Kingdom in 1143, 880 years ago. Best Regards from Portugal! All the best for you and your Family!
I do want to share with you my fascination with our unique architecture and the captivating Zelij tiles with their intricate patterns, which are exclusive to Morocco and the Iberian Peninsula.
Regarding the name "ALGARVE," I believe it literally translates to "the WEST." I'd like to emphasize that in Morocco, we hold a great deal of respect for the Portuguese people. We recognize that the past is behind us, and from both scientific and biological perspectives, we are actually more closely related to each other than to Arabs from the Middle East, for instance.
I'm truly enthusiastic about the opportunity to visit Portugal in the future. It's a destination that greatly appeals to me.
Please send my regards to your Mum, Papa and all the family.

The Amazigh people are the same independent people from the Amara people
Amara =free people
Amazing =free people similar culture from Ethiopia
@@fitsumawit Amazighs (Berbers) are indigenous to North Africa since at least 2000BC (According by the first records of them by Egyptians) after migrating from the Nile Valley. But rupestre (primitive) paintings found in caves in Maghreb indicates they might have been there since 10.000BC. But Amazighs (Berbers) were a group of tribes.
Amarahs only emerged in 12th Century AD. But who says they didn't get to Ethiopia migrating from North Africa to the South. Migrations always worked in several directions according to several factors. From natural ones to conflict related ones.
"Amharas (Amharic: አማራ, romanized: Āmara; Ge'ez: ዐምሐራ, romanized: ʾÄməḥära)are a Semitic-speaking ethnic group which is indigenous to Ethiopia, traditionally inhabiting parts of the northwest Highlands of Ethiopia, particularly inhabiting the Amhara Region. According to the 2007 national census, Amharas numbered 19,867,817 individuals, comprising 26.9% of Ethiopia's population, and they are mostly Oriental Orthodox Christian (members of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church).
They are also found within the Ethiopian expatriate community, particularly in North America. They speak Amharic, an Afro-Asiatic language of the Semitic branch which serves as the main and one of the five official languages of Ethiopia. As of 2018, Amharic has over 32 million native speakers and 25 million second language speakers.
The Amhara and neighboring groups in North and Central Ethiopia and Eritrea, more specifically the diaspora refer to themselves as "Habesha" (Abyssinian) people.
Origins
The earliest extants of the Amhara as a people, dates to the early 12th century in the middle of the Zagwe Dynasty, when the Amhara were recorded of being in conflict in the land of Wargih against the Wärjih in 1128 AD.
A non-contemporary 13th or 14th century hagiographical source from Saint Tekle Haymanot traces Amhara even further back to the mid 9th century AD as a location."
Amazigh are arabs from south arabia and the levant
Good video
Fun fact: the region in NA with the highest amount of Iberomaurusian ancestry is the Souss, with percentages ranging up to 49% (from the results we currently have)
Given that north africa is part of the Mediterranean area, it was obviously a place where different ethnicities and civilisations met and intermarried, but the vast majority of Moroccans have a very high Amazigh component to their dna, most time higher than 70% if you believe my heritage results.

That's also why we are Morenos. But the mixing of Iberians and South Italians goes back to The Phoenicians that emerged in Levante (Lebanon, Syria) in 3000BC and around 1100BC spread all around the Mediterranean Sea with Trade Ports and Cities in Levante, North Africa, South Iberian Peninsula, South Italy, Greece, Malta. All People around the Mediterranean Sea mixed thousands of years before the Age of Discovery. Portuguese and Spanish that got to South America in 1500's could be more white like Visigoths (Christian Germanics) or more Morenos like Arabs/Amazighs.

Great channel, your content is very interesting, also gives a great glimpse into the many cultures so little of us are familiar with. I’m from a very diversified Canada so a bit of knowledge really helps in our interactions with each other
Portuguese started to sail to Canada around 1470. In 1472-1473 my ancestor João Vaz Corte-Real was sent to Denmark to re-establish the alliance between the Portuguese Kingdom and the Danish Kingdom. Both Kingdoms were connected by Families.
He set sail from Ilha Terceira, Azores Archipelago with João Fernandes Labrador another Navigator from the Island. In thecway they found what they named as Terranova-Labrador (Newfoundland-Labrador) a.k.a. "A Terra dos Corte-Reaes" a.k.a. "A Terra dos Bacalhaus". Bacalhau (Codfish) became a commom resource in every Portuguese Caravels during the Age of Discovery (15th-17th Cents.) 'cause when salted and dried endured months and it was game changing to feed the boat crews in voyages that took months. To this day Codfish is very common in Portuguese Cuisine and the best one is advertised as "Bacalhau da Terranova" (Codfish from Newfoundland).
Two of the three sons of João Vaz Corte-Real, Gaspar and Miguel Corte-Real, continued to sail to North America, Canada and Greenland in joint ventures with the Danish Kingdom. Gaspar Corte-Real and his crew vanished in his last voyage in 1501 supposedly at Coasts of Canada while his brother Miguel Corte-Real had sailed to Mediterranean Sea to help the Venetians against the Turkish-Ottoman. When he got back to Ilha Terceira, Azores and knew about his brother he set sail to North America to try to find him. He would eventually vanish too leaving a clue in the Rock of Dighton, Massachusetts where he carved the Christian Cross all Caravels had in its sails followed by a sentence in Latin that says "By god's will, here i became chief of the Indians". He was never seen again.
Danish sailors also participated in the first the first voyages that Portugal made to Africa trying to find the route to India to bypass the Turkish-Ottoman that had controlled all Mediterranean Sea trading of Asian Spices. A big profitable trading in Europe back in those days.
Fun fact: I also have family in Toronto, Canada since 100 years ago that migrated from Ilha Terceira, Azores where my GGFather and GFather were born. All members of the Corte-Real Family.

Thank you so much for these explanations, I was looking for such a video
By the way, not everything he says is entirely right. For example, he considers Moroccan Darija speakers as true Arabs coming from the East, while genetic studies, such as those of National Geographic for example, show that they are most often Arabized Amazighs throughout history.
Genetics is studied in parallel with history, anthropology, toponymy and linguistics, and all these factors show that the Arab presence of the magnitude of current Arabic speakers in Morocco is a myth.

Basically, race is a social construct! They obviously didn’t care what your skin color looked like and saw one another as human! The only important thing probably was which nation you belonged to.

you can only tell what ethnicity they are by talking to them
appearance is pretty similar yet the culture and languages made different people
Historically speaking there have been certain peoples( Indo-Europeans ) with their corresponding genetics / phenotype who as far as intellectual-cultural achievements are concerned , seem to have amazingly been more productive and developed great civilizations compared to other populations, therefore genetics matters .

I have Moroccan heritage and I think you might be slightly underplaying the Jewish influence here, it is my understanding that the Mediterranean influence you speak of at the start is largely connected to the expulsion of the jews from Israel and long journey taken to get around to Spain. Then during the Alhambra decree close to 300,000 were exiled to Spain which helps explain such high levels of Levantine, Anatolian and the Italian/Greek, French ancestry which got picked up along the way.

This is not about Cultural influence, it's about DNA. The Jews remain endogamous wherever they are. Having said that, it may be easy to identify a European Jew but very hard to distinguish a non-Sephardic Middle-eastern or North African Jew from the main population.
@@AdamSahr-cj4kfnot true actually, a lot of Moroccans have a Jewish element in their DNA, this is a fact
@@AdamSahr-cj4kf That's my point though, because the populations moved around (or were forced to move around), they carried with them DNA from the areas they were coming from, thus bringing in more Mediterranean DNA or Levantine DNA into north Africa. So while you're right that Sephardic jews wouldn't be that different DNA-wise in the same way Ashkenazi's are, they bring genetic diversity which would otherwise not have made it to north Africa in the same volumes.
And from Spain which is loaded with RH negative o blood in the basque area. Of course there has been much migration going on since the dawn of ages when some of shems relatives took off to go east during the time of peleg . And that was a time when the earth was divided.
Interesting analysis....I've seen DNA results of some Moroccans being 100% North African without the Iberian and Italians admixture. What North Africans and many Arab and Levantine populations have in common are Y DNA haplogroups E1b1b and J1 variants that also spread into Greece but had an African origin and West Asian origin. Some of the Natufians DNA results show a lot of Middle Eastern farmers and West Asian ancestry but also a degree of for lack of a better word "Sub Saharan" component. Natufians were for the most part in the E1b1b family that originated out of East Africa but the data keeps on changing as more advancement in DNA technology, categories and discoveries increases.
E1b1b Ashkenazi Jew here ; this haplogroup is second most common haplogroup among AJ second only to J
E1b is originally african, migrated to Egypt and Europe
Presence of R1b in north Africa fundamentals for the origin of the "race" ibero mauritana (R1b Anatolian and preindoeuropean) +E1b
@@angelmoreno6577 Egypt is in Africa. Although the Iberimaurisian and Capsain cultures where what is now Morocco and Algeria, the appearance of R1b-M269 is not always present in many Amazigh DNA results depending of course on the country in question.

Haplogroups G, J, R1a to name a few. Haplogroup R has had a presence in Africa specifically R-V88 in countries like Chad and Cameroon from a back migration some say around 35,000 years ago.

The Tuareg people are not admixed with "Sub-Saharan" just because of the trans-Saharan slave trade. There were "Black" populations indigenous to North Africa, particularly the Sahel area in pre-historic periods(before 5000CE) when the Sahara was still largely grassland. The Tashwinat Mummy proves that.
The Tuareg territory is located 2,000 km from and beyond the coast of North Africa, so the inhabitants of the Sahara, ancient or contemporary, have nothing to do with the inhabitants of ancient or contemporary North Africa, Sahara and North Africa are two distinct territories.

it's true, in Tassili in Algeria, people are black and have been there for millennia, it's an indigenous people, nothing to do with slavery, just like the sub-Saharan dna of North Africans who have always been there and have nothing to do with slavery (the iberomaurisien were 36% sub-Saharan)

But Portuguese are indistinguishable from western Spaniards, particularly people from Galicia and Extremadura.
