Let me know your thoughts on the origin of the Spanish and Portuguese people! Thanks for watching! Feel free to check out my second channel where we will be discussing geography and demography: ua-cam.com/channels/zQ_KS2ikIc_sLtZBmZBWOw.html
I remember a girl in high school being shocked that a Spanish exchange student was White. So I had to educate her about where Spain is located. A lot of people in America associate Spanish with Mexico, so their image of a Spaniard is incorrectly a mestizo.
Same here, when I was in the US many people there were shocked when they saw a white Spaniard who spoke British English, of course many thought I was Mexican.
@The Perfectionist Wrong, our ancestors stayed in Spain, it was the Mexican's ancestors who conquered and colonized Mexico. And let me remind you History changes a lot, there was a time when Latin-America was much richer and civilized than North-America. Besides, the US has played a big role in shaping the current situation in many Latin-American countries, in order to get free access to their resources. Of course their corrupt politicians and the huge inequality are also to blame, but Spain is hardly responsible for the current situation, when those countries got their independence in the early 19th century, their situation compared to other countries was way better than it is today.
Clarence Thompson well I am Puerto Rico and many get surprised that my skin is on the fair side. Same thing happens to my dad, because he is very fair skinned and green eyes 🤦🏽♀️
Hi, I am from Portugal and here are the results of my DNA test: - Iberian. 32,6,% - British and Irish. 31,9% - Italian. 12,2% - Northen african. 19% - Miiddle East. 3,4% - Papua New Guine 0,9%
Inmortal Imperio Español-Spanish Empire That's because the Portuguese colonizers in Brazil mingled with the native amerindians in Brazil. So their descendants when they moved up the social ladder, although with a 'mestiço' look, would be treated as regular whites and many of them moved to Portugal and joined the Portuguese elite. This is why he looks Amerindian.
My mother, a Spaniard, just had her dna tested by 3 companies. She was found to be nearly 100% Spanish. She had a miniscule amount of Portuguese, French, and Basque dna. Nothing from North African, Arab, or Germanic traces. Her family as far back as we know is from the Salamanca region.
People usually think (and you show it in your video) that dark hair and eyes are something related to the muslim world, it´s not, it´s older than that. It´s something shared with all mediterranean cultures, since the time when neolithic farmers arrived from Anatolia. In fact, dark eyes/hair and white skin (predominant in Spain) are the typical phenotype of one of the oldest and largest groups of cultures in Europe (shared as well with the people of Wales and Ireland non mixed with saxons and vikings).
...not to mention the Visigoths at the end of the Western Roman Empire as well as 1,000 years earlier when it was colonized by Greeks, Phoenicians and Carthaginians (descended from Phoenicians). There were also pre-Celtic inhabitants even earlier.
People think light hair and colored eyes are inherited from the north and that is also false. There is plenty of dark hair and eyes in the north too! Depictions and descriptions of northerners over 1000 years old prove my point
yupe. Which makes this conversation even more odd. In Portugal we are gaining European population. Thirdworlders want to go to Germany, Scandinavia, the Netherlands, the UK. Europeans want to go to Portugal and Spain! Even inland Europeans want to live there, which is great, because the Portuguese do not like to live away from the seashore.
Pedro4490 Sorry man I dont know if i should believe you, i went to Lisbon this year, I was impressed by the amount of blacks, it was full of africans. Not that is a bad stuff.
yes it is... it is a particularity of Lisbon. Yet that migration is mostly stagnant (after decolonization - 1980s). and some moved to other European countries during the eurocrisis (2010s), as many have Portuguese citizenship and birthplace. they are African-Portuguese, Portuguese blacks, some mixedraced who are considered to be black. It is more similar to the African-American issue, rather than simple African alien migration, even if they derive from migrants, not slaves. But yeah, even in my city we have blacks, even if not in the same numbers as Lisbon.
It is also worth pointing out that there were frequent emigration events from Ireland to Spain (and France) after every uprising against English rule. For example, the famous US chess player Paul Morphy was the descendant of an Irish soldier and his Catalan wife. The surname was changed the from Murphy to Morphy before the family went on to emigrate to New Orleans.
@Jercu11 RMUR1919 Muslims had mercenaries slavic and slaves of Europe East. Some Slavic muslims arrived Spain, they are a caste , in Al Andalus were castes racials...history of Spain is very complicated.
@@jarretdietzler7750 oh come on! I meet so many Americans on the internet who call India a rapist country even though it has one of the lowest rape capitas in the world, america having on of the highest
@@refractorymercury The rape rate in India is 1.8 in India while it's 28 in the USA, even if we consider only 1 out of 10 rapes being registered (which is totally absurd) in India, even then the rape rate will be 18, STILL a lot lower than USA (also we're not considering how only 60% of rape cases get registered in the USA, because that would make it even big of a difference) I rest my case
I agree. I have spent the last 20+ years meeting people from all over the world and I'm sick of having to fight the same stereotypes especially when I'm talking with an American.
Biology, ethnicity and nationality are three diferents things. The territories can be conquered, the genes can be mixed, but traditions can remain along the centuries. Before Romans, Germanics and Moors, the Iberic Peninsula was already inhabited for thousands of years. Portugal is a small country, but the accent, the traditions and the way of living can be very different from region to region. The North of Portugal as a ancient celtic territory it's still nowdays diferent from the South of Portugal.
@@joaosoares3349 Central and Western Europeans are R1b. Your general, broad range non-Slavic "white". Scandinavians are slightly different (I1?), accounting for their marginally different phenotypes. "Celt" and "Germanic" are neither cultural nor ethnic descriptors. They didn't view themselves as such, it was imposed by Romans at the Rhine arbitrarily, who even admitted they had a hard time identifying the "difference" themselves.
Great video! I’m myself of Portuguese ancestry in Brazil. Good for North Americans understand that Latino is an European term. Latin Americans are genetically and culturally descendants of the Iberian peninsula, but depending on what region in the continent the mix is completely different.
That's why I prefer Ibero América and Hispano América as geographical and cultural references for our region [besides Spanish and Portuguese languages also share 70% of the lexicon], instead of "Latin" - a label that came from a french geopolitical move and later an angloamerican census.
@@helena_aña True, we are more than latin brothers, we have more in common with the hispanic countries of south america than with Spain, Portugal, Italy, or France, ibero america or Hispano America is the perfect way to name the place.
Not all Latinos are descendants of the Iberian peninsula. That's a fallacy. We are very mixed. Many are Scandinavian, Italian, Western Asian and African
@@lamoskgrLmaaaaaaaao Scandinavian Latino 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Latinos are Not from Iberian Peninsula, Latinos are Latinos, The Colombiam, Venezuelan, Boliviam are mostly Native from there, a ton of Latinos are Asian Descendants cause they have asian eyes, me I'm from Brasil, I'm white, my grandfather was pure with father and mother from North Spain Galicia, In Brasil you may Find Real Mestizos who have mixing with Europeans and Others like in Brazil Mostly Probably Africans from South with Europeans and or Middle East and also a bit asian people, also Argentina and South Latin America is Like That, Mestizos That Have a Little European DNA Along with Much African or Middle East, Me as I said my Great father is Very European so my mother is white Spaniard Genetically and my Father has Mixing but in the end he born with Genetics from the White Part of His Family, my Father Side had Native Indian From Brazil, Syrian People from Syria, Dutch People From Netherlands (My Great Grand Father) and Portuguese I think all on my father side, but he, my father looks very European to me, he has skin tone like Portuguese but European bone Structure and Nose, and again my Mother Real Spaniard, so yes I'm real descendant from Europe, while Mestizos Latinos are Actually Not Really Because they have so little of European DNA Left on their Genetic Codes.
ya you been there brainwashed so you become more white , no thanks i do prefer be more darker and keep ancestry pure linked to my ancestors in Anatolia
What you said it makes perfect sense. I was born in Brazil and I took a DNA test and came out with Portuguese Spanish Celt DNA and 2% of North African but my brother took it and had 0% of North African
Quite undertandable. Your brother did not inherited that 2% North African. Not everyone in one family will receive the same DNA of mother/father. In my family we are 4 sisters, we all got different results. Just identical twins have the same DNA.
I would say 80% of the population has at least 5% or less. I myself did a dna test a few years ago, I don’t know how much you can trust them, but here go my stats: 84% Iberian, 12% Northern European, 2% Balkan, and 2%. North African. Both my grandparents from my mom side have gallego, and Portuguese heritage, and my other grandparents are Catalan.
these test have just 50% certanty, if you search around on some test you can change the accuracy to be up to 90% but it often just tells you continents.
@@NBBeska the olive skin did noth come from the arabs if north africans and south europeans where mixed with arabs they would have looked north indian hella no
Galician is an official language with its own literature and its forms. It is taught up to high-school and a mandatory subject to access to university if you take the exams in Galicia. Furthermore, it comes from the "Galaico-Portugués" which covered half of today's Portugal. So, yeah, it hardly "comes" from the portuguese as you put it in the video.
@wonderwiseS2 That's quite a stretch mate. Galicia is mainly rural where Galician language is mostly spoken. People there will speak back to you in Spanish out of respect. The capital Santiago mostly speaks Galician. Spain has regions with their own parliaments, languages that are co-official and mandatory in those adminsitrations etc. That's quite singular.
@@notsetsune you probably missed the ETA, GRAPO, and Catalonian independent movements, also Andalusia was the first community to request independence to be self-governed at the beginning of the 20th century. There is still a lot going on, Spain is not a united homogeneous country.
Pero el "Galaico Portugués" de Galicia está más castellanizado que el de Portugal. Por eso el de Portugal (Portugués) puede considerarse más "primigenio" que el de Galicia (Gallego).
@@notsetsune It is not just a personal reflection of yours, it is the hostile insinuation of some Portuguese, believing that they will break Spain and annex Galicia someday, promoting hatred of Castile, out of ignorance of what Spain is. Spain has 17 autonomous regions, and 2 autonomous cities. Only 2 regions feel Castilian: Castilla León and Castilla la Mancha. 4.3 million inhabitants. 9% of Spaniards. Madrid, capital of Spain, is in the center of the two regions, and you will not find anyone in Madrid who feels Castilian. They feel Madrileños. Andalusians have always spoken Castilian-Spanish, but they do not feel Castilian. We speak Castilian throughout Spain (known as Spanish). It is true that Castile and Aragon are founders of modern Spain. But the question is not who maintains their independence by destroying Spain. Spain is 3000 years old. It is a Phoenician name. The first Spanish kings were the Visigoths of the 5th century (it included the territory of Portugal, which was not yet called Portugal). Portugal is the fifth kingdom created in the Iberian Peninsula. The 4 kingdoms on the coat of arms of Spain are older than Portugal. The Portuguese felt Spanish until 1713, the War of Succession. They were not included in Spain as a country, with its capital in Madrid, but part of the historical Spanish nation, just as there is a British, Germanic, Italic or Frankish nation, of France, or Gallic. In 1518, Charles I became King of Spain. The King of Portugal protested: "This is a crime and a usurpation of the common name of all Spaniards. We Portuguese are also Spanish." It is not Spain that has to be destroyed to turn the peninsula into a weak and uncompetitive place. Portugal has its independence, just as Austria (part of the German nation) is independent of Germany. That does not mean that Bavaria has to become independent of Germany. Ireland is part of the British Isles, but is now independent. Wallonia in Belgium has French culture, but that doesn't mean France has to break up. Spain has 4 regional languages. Italy has 10 regional languages. France has 15 regional languages (among them German, Italian, Catalan and Basque). That doesn't mean France has to break up. All the great countries of the world are made up of multiple cultures and several religions. The USA has 60 million Spanish speakers and 2 million French speakers. Brazil has hundreds of indigenous languages. I myself speak Castilian and Valencian-Catalan. Castilian is 85% similar to Catalan, and 89% similar to Portuguese. Galician is like 95% similar to Spanish, it is the language that those of us who speak Castilian as a first language understand best. Even the phonetics are the same as Castilian. Not even Portugal is unicellular, because it is very small. Portugal had independence movements in the Azores and Madeira, which aspired to be independent republics in the Atlantic, like Cape Verde and Sao Tome and Principe, in the 1970s. There are two regions in Spain where the most pro-Spanish right has always won for the last 25 years: Madrid and Galicia. Franco was Galician. And 3 of the last 4 leaders of the Spanish right, patriotic, are Galician, since 1980: Fraga, Rajoy (president of Spain between 2011-2018) and Feijoó (current candidate). All Galician. In Argentina and Uruguay, all Spanish emigrants are called Galicians. We also know that more than 40% of Portuguese and Spanish people want a federation between the two countries.
@@notsetsune Spain is a union: we see it in sports, where there are Basques, Catalans and people from all regions, who succeed, winning world cups in football, basketball, handball, hockey... and in many other activities. While Brazil is beginning to follow its own path in the Portuguese language (as a Portuguese girl told me) because Portugal is very small, the Spanish language is united by the 24 academies of the Spanish language, which produce the dictionary of the Royal Academy. I am not saying that the Portuguese are Spanish. But they belong to the Hispanic world. Roman Hispania, Visigothic Hispania, Arab Hispania... In all those moments of history Portugal was just another kingdom, along with Castile, Aragon, Navarre and Leon. All these kingdoms, which are on our national and monarchy's coat of arms, are older than Portugal. Navarre was born 300 years before Portugal, Leon 200 years, Aragon 100 years before, and Castile 80 years before. Nobody called the peninsula Iberia until 1713. There were hardly any great archaeologists. We all called the territory Hispania or Spain. The king of Portugal himself admitted this in 1518: "It is a crime that the union of these kingdoms is called Spain. Because we Portuguese are also Spanish." He wanted us to call ourselves something else, because if not, Portugal would have to be excluded from the name of Spain, so as not to feel annexed or part of that union. In the end Portugal renounces calling the peninsula Hispania or Spain. It is absurd that you do not believe in Spain as a country. You can believe in Spain as in France or Italy. I seem to remember that we have aircraft carriers, 180 warplanes (compared to 26 Portuguese), state-of-the-art frigates and submarines that launch missiles at 1900 km, all manufactured by our military industry. The majority of Spaniards believe in Spain. 80% of Galicians vote for Spanish national parties. 60% of Catalans are against independence. And 70% of Basques too. I myself live in one of these communities, and I believe in Spain, as a Breton believes in France. The separatists are 6% of the Spanish parliament. 94% of Spaniards believe in Spain, which is already a country with more human development than France and Italy, and a higher life expectancy than the whole of Europe. Our public health system is excellent. We have just launched a rocket into space. We are already the tenth power in scientific research. The tenth power in the creation of technological start-ups in the world, the second world power in the creation of global infrastructure and high-speed trains (after China), the second investors in Latin America (including Brazil) behind the USA, the second world power in tourism, surpassing the USA. The fourth world heritage site. We have nothing against Portugal. Even 40% of Portuguese and Spanish people, according to Portuguese and Spanish surveys, are in favour of a federation. It seems difficult to me. I know that the Portuguese are very proud of their nationality, and I respect it as I want them to respect my beloved country, ESPAÑA-HISPANIA. 3000 years of history, and others 4000 years more.
The mayority of DNA of Spain is not Arab or Roman, the mayority is still today Celt and Iberian, the preroman people. Cavalli Sforza one of the best experts om genetics in history did study that in the 80s. The dominant culture is of course Roman culture which is culture which takes a lit from every country they conquered.
@@kornet_85 no del todo, los iberos eran una etnia y una cultura diferente, igual que la vasca. Su idioma no estaba emparentado con las lenguas celtas ni con ninguna otra lengua indoeuropea, eran lenguas aisladas. Por eso España ha sido siempre un país diverso en razas, nunca fue indoeuropeo puro en el sentido que les gusta a los supremacistas blancos. Los iberos sólo se encontraban en la zona del mediterráneo, en el Este peninsular. En el oeste sí que eran pueblos celtas pues todos hablaban lenguas de este tipo.

I am from Portugal and Portuguese people are a Romance ethnic group indigenous to Portugal that share a common Portuguese culture and speak Portuguese . Their predominant religion is Christianity , mainly Roman Catholicism . Historically , the Portuguese people's heritage includes the pre-Celts Tribes it calls (Celtiberians , Lusitanians , Gallaecians , Oestriminis , Turduli and Celtici ) , from whom the majority of the population descends . My land used call Lusitania and we call ourselves Lusitanians and the Roman Republic conquered the Iberian Peninsula during the 2nd and 1st centuries B.C , from the extensive maritime empire of Carthage during the series of Punic Wars . The Romans were also an important influence on Portuguese culture , the Portuguese language derives mostly from Latin . The Lusitanians (or Lusitānus/Lusitani in Latin) were an Indo-European speaking people (likely Celtic Tribes ) living in the Western Iberian Peninsula long before it became the Roman province of Lusitania (modern Portugal , Extremadura and a small part of Salamanca in spain )The Turduli , Celtici and the Cynetes Tribes of the Alentejo and the Algarve . They spoke the Lusitanian language , of which only a few short written fragments survive . Most Portuguese consider the Lusitanians as their ancestors . Although the northern regions (Minho, Douro, Tras-os-Montes) identify more with the Gallaecians north of spain . Other minor influences included the Phoenicians/Carthaginians from north of africa , small semi-permanent commercial coastal establishments in the south before 200 BC .The Visigoths and Suebi Tribes , and including the Buri Tribes , permanently established in the early 5th century of Slavic Tribes origin , who also settled in what is today Portuguese territory in north of Portugal . The Berbers Tribes is other minor influences in the portuguese culture , migrated from North Africa in 7th century A.C , they used settled themselves in Alentejo and the Algarve .

You have high UNEMPLOYMENT RATE at least deal with that instead of bashing moroccans.
In many places here in the South of Portugal you wouldn't be able to tell the difference bettween us😂. My own Grandfather looked like an arab, my Grandmother however looked Nordic with blonde hair and blue eyes😂. We are all mixed indeed. Maybe your ancestors were here and returned back. Hugs from Portugal.
By the way, I would like to suggest another topic: After the Reconquista, when Spain forced Muslims and Jews to convert, many Muslims and many Jews continued to practice their faiths in secret. The Muslims in particular produced fascinating texts, including the first translation of the entire Quran from Arabic to Spanish, in 1606. The final documented instance of a crypto Muslim in Spain was 1725, about 200 years after the forced conversion. This would be a fascinating topic. Give it some thought!
Even more fascinating would be the Murder of the Friars in Cordoba, crucified by the Muslims or the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa when the Christians ambushed the Muslims who had hundreds of chained African "soldiers" guarding the Emir thus losing out on a possible BLM production
@hussami khaldoun The Muslim rulers did not force conversion and was generally tolerant. This doesn't mean there was equality. Christian and Jew could not rule over a Muslim although there was some exception. Christian women could be taken as wives or concubines by Muslim men but not so the reverse. The moors integrate themselves and intermarried quite often. Many Moors and Caliph of Spain were surprisely white. They had blonde and red hair, blue and green eyes taking it from their mothers.
@@gabrielaponte6403 You can look it up. In the medieval ages Latin branched into a language that originated and was spoken in the Reino de Galicia (which comprised Galicia and the north of Portugal). When Portugal separated into a different country, that common language branched again into Portuguese.
@@srl2485 I agree with you :). When I go to Portugal it still feels like home, not like a foreign country. Then again, I live by the border, so I encounter Portuguese people all the time. I wasn't trying to argue, just stating an inaccuracy in the video.
No, just a person who knows history. It is called "Galeo-portugues" in origin for a reason. Galicia was already there, as a kingdom, with its own language before "portuguese" was even a concept... if you negate this fact you are a damn fool...
the other way around. Local genetic and cultural input is very relevant in Portugal at least. In my city we still have a religious site inherited from prehistory... and we still use it with Christian cover... in fact, people who do not care about religion any longer still care about the site out of superstition. I've used it with others myself. And this is not new age wicca... Also archaeologically pre-Roman sites are the most relevant too.
5:30 Galician is impossible to be a dialect of portuguese. Both came from old galician or what is called now galaico-portuguese. Galician exists even before Portugal was created. Also, catalan is not a dialect. ¿A dialect from what language?
Galician is a different evolution of latin than castillian or catalan. Just that. Portuguese IS DESCENDANT of galician because the first rulers of Portucale county were from Leon and the King decided to repopulate the north of Portugal with galicians and astur-leonese.
@@jaimedegonzaga9722 Portuguese isn't a descendant of Galician. They both diverged from the same common language. They split because Portuguese was independant and Galician got Castillian influence
Finally someone said this. Of course the're people naturally tanned, because we're mediterranean like italian, etc, but the most of spanish are not naturally tanned. If you live in a zone where the sun is really strong, of course your skin will be tanned (we go out a lot), specially in summer. In Andalucia people go a lot to the beach from May until September. In summer they go almost every day (hours and hours) to the beach or at the swimming pool, and naturally they get super dark skinned. Imagine doing that every year of your life.... In autumn the most of people get their natural skin colour back. Of course some keep being tanned. Also we have gypsies. I had a friend that descended from gypsies and worked in a touristic place, because she could speak french. A moroccan tourist thought she was moroccan or from another muslim country and for that reason he complained about her clothes (not wearing hiyab). A moroccan girl who worked with her had to explain to him that my friend was spanish gypsy and not moroccan and/or muslim.
@@starks8501 Of course, in general Spain is really hot, but the south, Extremadura, Murcia, maybe Valencia ¿? (not sure about this one) have been always the hottest. It doesn't mean that other cities in Spain can't reach similar temperatures sometimes. I talked specifically about Andalucia, because I´ve read some comments saying we're more dark skinned due to we have more moorish blood and that is stupid. Yes, there're people who can have a very low % of North Africa like in the rest of Spain, but it's not like people are saying. In fact I've seen more people and with higher % North Africa in Portugal. It really surprised me :O. In Spain you can find dark skinned persons everywhere, for example, in Catalonian. It makes me laugh xd.... the fact almost the whole Spain were ruled by muslims X time it doesn't mean people who converted to islam they changed physically too. In those times there were not "invasions" like we see nowadays. Oh btw they ignore the jewish because they didn't rule, but they were here before and more time. The history of Spain is long and everyone is a world.
Some white people like Irish don’t tan, they stay white or they blister red. I am pale in the winter and tan in the summer, that is called versatility😎
clod8 not really, I’ve met an Irish that was tanned. Also you need to consider that one of the oldest bones remains like Loschbour man at Central Europe has a likelihood of 97% of dark skin...
According to recent genetic studies, the Spanish the genetics hace a genetics of between 70 to 80 % Celtic (depending on the área of Spain), followed by Latín (by the Romans) and Germanics (by the Visigoths, Suevi, Vandals and Alans). However, the Bereber/Arabic component does exist, but it is minimal (Spain expelled all Jews in the 15 th century and the few remaining Arab in the 16th century after J.C.). You can see the Spanish genetic map on the Internet. In the United States, they think that Spaniards are the same as Mexicana mestizos, but they understand each other by proximity and having no other reference. But physically, Spaniards are very different from Mexicans.

I was born in Spain with a mother from Sevilla and a father who’s parents were from Asturias. It’s interesting that you mentioned how many Spaniards have North African DNA. I recently had a DNA test and have 2% North African DNA as well as 1% Sardinian DNA. 68% Spanish as well as some French and Portuguese.
North African most likely came from Sevilla. You accounted for 71% of your ancestory, so what is the remainder from? I don't get it. If both parents are from Spain with one from the South and the other from the North why aren't you almost 100 Iberian with some celtic and North African?
I did mine as well. I only came up little more then 1%. But my DNA came up with some Arab traits from Jordan area. Also said I was blood related to King Tut and Rameses the Great.
When it comes to Galician and Portuguese. It's like we're both speaking galician-portuguese but galicians grow up with spanish television and portuguese with portuguese television. So when you cross the border you get pretty much the same language but COMPLETELY different accents lol
Exactly! The galician and portuguese have veeery different accents, but the language is almost the same. Galician accent from 50 years ago was closer to brazilian portuguese. Check on youtube. The galician accent is closer to spanish now, but it was closer to portuguese

@@M4th3u54ndr4d3 I am Brazilian and lived in Galicia for a long time. In my view Galician accent is still much closer to Brazilian Portuguese. I actually had less problems understanding Galician than the current portuguese Portuguese accent.
Yes we are white. Like he mentioned the more south you the higher the chance is the find someone with a more dark skin tone. People in Portugal and Spain have been mixing so that difference is not even comparable. There is a big difference between North Africans and Iberians. Some North Africans also look white speacilly the ones that live on the coast. Muslims and Jews were expelled from the Iberian Peninsula, and even if some muslims stayed after 500 years they look white.
I've never seen a jew that has got 80% iberian blood, jews in an actual ethnicity. Some jews are 98% ashkenazi some are 20% Iraqi, 10% ashkenazi, 30% Italian, 30% North African and 10% Syrian.
@@goodnightcore4448 Not exactly true. There was active trade between Spain/Iberia and the Levant and areas that now comprise Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria (as well as the rest of the Mediterranean). There are recorded accounts of Jews from the Bethlehem region that settled in Spain, and some Hispanic/Iberian individuals that did reverse migrations. Aside from that Sephardic Jews kept many of the historic traditions, names, and vocabulary which would not likely have been the case if they were simply converts (nor the identifiable Jewish DNA markers in Sephardic Jews and many non-Jewish Spaniards), ie Maimonides. The Jewish population left a big impact on Spanish culture just as the Moors did. Everything from Spanish Catholic rites and songs to names and traditions were heavily influenced by Jewish tradition. If you look at exiled Portuguese Jewish people that settled in Amsterdam the ancient traditions are noticeable as well. You can find the same cultural markers in Jews that migrated to Latin America during the Spanish colonial period. Iberia was a very multicultural and cosmopolitan area when the Moors and Christians both ruled. Cities like Cordoba, Seville, etc. were important learning and trading centers from peoples from all over the Mediterranean, and in fact were the premiere learning centers for science, math, medicine, and philosophy in Europe during the Dark (Middle) Ages. In the rest of Europe during those times rudimentary learning was largely confined to monasteries and royalty.
Now sciencists talk about ethnicties instead of race, is a far mor accurate model since it not only bases it's parameters on appearance as the racial model, it also considers migratory history, all different genetic heritages and lineages, geography, language and culture. That model IS much better as it is actually based on empirical evidence and can explaon the way humans migrated from Africa to the rest of the world as well as human evolution instead of just lumping together different people that just so happen to share certain superficial similarities from a certain perspective.
@Kalid Ibrahim Not entirely though, for instance if you plot all european ethnicities on a map then they would be a lot closer together than any non european ethnic group thus making the race.
Balkans were just recent wars and it has a lot to do with outside influence from greater powers. If there wasn't that influence then they could do a proper battle royale to settle the score of powerplay, to be finally at peace.
Well here in Iberia we had Carthaginian,Roman,Germanic and Arab invasions, we had the reconquista that lasted 800 years, then we fought between each other Spanish and Portuguese for another 800 years too, then Napoleon came here to get fucked too.
Galicians do not have Moor or Arab dna. That was one UNSCIENTIFIC article written by a jealous, swarthy Andalucian. Galicians look like Emilio Estevez, light, fine featured, white and handsome.
@@CaramelWafersasturias isnt even purely “celtic “ the visigoths and other hispano roman christians from the south actually took refuge an settled in asturias , cantabria anywhere in northern spain and galicia .. also right after the reconquista the moriscos and jews were converted and to disband them from their ethnic identity it is speculated they would move groups of moriscos and conversos into different areas of spain like to galicia , central spain , some even went to the kingdom of navarre and succesfully settled and integrated with basques and later mixed into the basque gene pool as also happened with the rest of spain the moriscos and jew converts eventually integrated and forgot their ways and mixed into the rest of spain so even northern spaniards might have slight traces of north african or middle eastern because it is also homogenized and so blended after many centuries with the more mainstream european that the “foreign dna “ gets diluted and simply becomes apart of the main regional dna and foreign dna gets diluted in our genetic material and becomes so low to the point where sometimes it cant be traced anymore and gets expelled out of your genetic code ..
Hi I'm from Morocco and I have dna from Europe and all of north African people that I have seen have some European dna especially morocco Tunisia Algeria here is my dna test : North African 50% Senegal : 9% Italy/Greece : 11% Iberian peninsula : 9% Middle East : 21%
That may be because a large part of the Muslims expelled from Spain ended up in Morocco, and those Muslims were Mozarabic. The Mozarabs were not African, they were Ibero-Romans who converted to Islam after the Muslim invasion, therefore they were originally from the Iberian Peninsula.
Spanish history is fascinating to say the least. I did a deep study of Iberian peninsula about a year ago. Columbus' timing have been better considering Spain was a new nation. The gene pool is crazy.
@@jorgebarriosmur _ Not so, not so. What happens is you don't quite know the history of Spain, and go by what most people think they know about its history.
And it genetically enriched the native populations in the Americas who also had their own genetic diversity closely linked to the asians according to genetic studies I read about and will search again
Spain has the most Celtic blood in Europe. Celts are hardly ever blond. They are mostly brown hair brown eyes and pale to olive skin. They are then mixed with mostly Germanic followed by Jewish and then lastly Moorish genes and also some middle eastern genes. Typical Southern European just like Italy and the Balkans.
I'm from Cuba but my 23andme results were 95.4 % Spanish and Portuguese, 0.3 Jewish, 1.9 north African. 1.5 SSA, 0.8 native American and 0.1 unassigned
Omg ! Portugal is also a “ melting pot “ of races ! We have blonds and red haired people or blue eyed or green eyed more in the North of Portugal, or Olive color people in the south, but we all Portuguese !
One thing the Columbus comment: I researched a bit a month ago, and nobody knows where he is from, since he didn't want people to know. However he left some clues and it has been mentioned more than once that he is from Genoa, which although is now a part of Italy, it was an autonomous state back then. He wasn't Italian, but from Genoa. (Saying he was Italian is like saying Romans were Italians).
Wow... what a conclusion Italy exist before Roman time So according to your vision of the history the Romans were from the moon and Columbus from the another planet?
I’m from southern Spain (Jerez) and had my 23andme test done. I have no Northern African dna. The difference in culture and religion kept the Christians and Muslims apart.
By far the largest "ethnic group" in the Spanish DNA or ADN if you want to say it in Castellano.............. is the Celtic, it is clearly stated in the Rb1.

Historically the north half of Iberia was Celtic and the south Mediterranean. In modern days, genetically speaking, is basically a perfect 50/50. Iberians are substantially ancient Celtic, that's why we relate to western Europeans. Massaman knows this he just hasn't made a video talking about it yet
i do not understand such smartass comments... yes italy united later, indeed, but as far as we know he was native, so he was italian native. its another thing the kingdom and another thing the political union or the native population of an area. in this point of view all states in the world became states in the form we know them today after many years and epsecially the last 300 years. holy roman empire was not german this not mean that there were not germanic tribes..italy the same...there were many different kingdoms with native italian population. except the lombards that were another tribe. genoese was because he was from genoa as a citizen of genoa. geoese is not a national identity but a political identity. wtf with such comments??? also the byzantines themselves first talked about them like latins and italians. there is not a geonese identity. are you serious???
@@Boykofan He spoke italian... maybe. There are many letters Columbus wrote to his brothers and sons and they are writen in Castillian and only Castillian, never in Italian. If you are Italian and have a brother, would you write him in Spanish?

My Great grandfather's last name was "de Leon Basque". Basque blood verified through Ged match. Ancestry is clueless on Basque. I believe it puts it under West Europe because of French. I've seen that Galicia was once de Leon. I think his blood from both of those areas. I'm heavily Celtic so I'm not sure if my iberian increases it. As of this moment it appears the Iberian is Basque,Roman, true Iberian and North African. This video is making me think "true Iberian" is Germanic. Daughter and I show more Germanic than I expected,is that why?
CynthiaSantovena CynthiaSantovena A true Spaniard looks neither North African/middle eastern or Northern European. They have their own look But they are still white nonetheless. Kinda like how Eastern Europeans don't look Northern European but they are still European and thus: still white.
CynthiaSantovena CynthiaSantovena Exactly. Another piece of evidence that Spaniards are white come from the Aztecs and their encounter with the arrivals. They were described as having "yellow hair and some had black hair". Did Arabs have blonde hair? Of course not. Not only that but there are tons of descendants of the Spanish living in Latin America. Where else did these white looking Latinos come from?
A true ethnic Spaniard has fair skin (with a slightly olive tint, hence why they tan nicely), most have dark hair but blonde and red isn't uncommon especially in the northern regions, their eyes are rarely mongoloid influenced (unlike some northern euros) but like northern euros, they have longish faces. Certainly not dark enough to be classified as "brown".
It’s crazy because I’m Portuguese by blood but my father believes we have north African or Jewish descent in our family Because of our facial features and physical appearance. From what I know I am white and I come from Northern Portugal but I have extremely curly curly hair and my undertone is all over! I also get extremely dark in the summertime that people mistake me for South American, middle easter or even Egyptian ! So crazy My brother literally looks like an Arab man and always gets mistaken for it where my father can also pass as Arab or Jewish, very interesting video and so cool to see this
Nonsense. North Africa still speaks Tmazight, which is written in Tifinagh (like this 'ⵉⵎⴰⵣⵉⵖⵏ'). It's still a major language which is even being taught at schools, and the official language of some countries. Places where there are Imazighen ("Berbers"); Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Libya, Tunisia to Eastern Egypt.
I mean, considering the fact that it survived thousands of years also with external powers trying to erase it (Romans, Arabs, French), I have to say it's quite popular. I was born and raised in the Netherlands, parents from the north of Morocco, myself and everyone in my family over here in Europe speaks it. Other Amazigh people originally from Africa around here, all speak it.
Every autosomal (full ancestry - determines phenotype) DNA study has the Portuguese strongly clustering with Spaniards, French and North Italians. There is also some closeness with the Swiss. The Portuguese are predominantly an Atlantic Facade population group. In addition, the ongoing DODECAD ancestry autosomal project has recorded European and West Asian (Anatolian) DNA affinities close to 90% (~ 80% European and ~ 7% Anatolian) for Portugal. Portuguese also have more than 36% N. European input, third highest in Southern Europe behind France (~ 50%) and Spain (~ 38%). One study actually has Portugal with more Balto-Finnic than Poland, 3.5% for the former and ~1.25% for the latter. As far as Haplogroups are concerned, check the Eupedia tables. Combined Y-DNA and mt-DNA shows a hugely dominant percentage of Western European Haplogroups. There are also some Balkanite and Anatolian (Y-DNA J2) markers (due to ancient Greek and Phoenician settlements, jews and muslims couldn't marry people from other faiths). Near Eastern frequencies in total are rather minor.
Millions of Spaniards converted to Islam. At one point the majority of Spaniards in Muslims controlled Spanish cities were Muslims (majority of southern spaniards). The not being able to marry out of the faith doesn't have anything to do with genetics as tens of millions of Iberians themselves were Muslims.
@@Farrukhsiyar159 The descendants of the converted were muslims and went to North Africa after the Reconquista. The converted were not millions, however. You have exagerated. A part of the nobility converted to Islam, but the people, who were Christians and who were forced to always give way to Muslims, to pay special taxes, to be discriminated, were not very inclined to become Muslims. Some rich people did it for convenience, when they saw that the situation did not change.
No, Spaniards hardly have Arab or North African blood, most have Neolithic Farmer ancestry from Anatolia which Arabs also share but Arabs also mixed with South Asians and other populations whereas Spaniards also have the Western Hunter Gatherer and Ancient North Eurasian ancestry that other Europeans have in higher amounts, Spaniard genomes have Neolithic Farmer ancestry predominantly.
The Visigoth Conquest created a sense of nationhood in Iberia which has continued for 1500 years. No longer a Roman Colony but a nation that would be tempered and forged by 783 years of Crusades culminating in total victory and the emergences of The World's first and second global Superpowers.

kiouwax Of course that little culture, the Phoenicians and Carthaginians were centuries in France more of 600 years, even founded cities such as MARSEILLE, that lack culture.
Alicate 15-M Massalia (today's Marseille) was a Greek colony founded by the people of city-state of Phokaia. Phoenicians didn't have any permanent settlements on the northern coast of the Mediterranean. They sticked to southern coast, isles and southern Iberia.
A little of history: The conquer of the Iberian peninsula by the Muslims was in 15 years. The form to conquer this territory was intelligent and quick and it's not how the speaker is imaging. The Muslim army defeated the last king of the Visigoths who in this period was inside a civil war. The Muslims did pacts with the local noble and they respected the properties and titles only with one condition, they should use the Muslim religion. A lot of nobles changed their religion and stayed in their places and their cities and the same with the people. When the Muslims conquered the peninsula they not killed all inhabitants and replaced them with others from the north of Africa. The war's conflicts were a few. Really the people were the same but the governors were Muslims and Berbers. The Christians who didn't want to stay with the Muslim governors went to the north of the country and found Asturias a new Christian kingdom. It's the reason then you can discover that the people in Spain and Portugal are white, amazing.
@@sevendaysaweek2622 the term moor refers to north African berbers converted to islam. IIn a very unassertive way we can say that the Moors are actually the Moroccans. And they mixed but in a superficial level, since the ones that married converted to Islam and after reconquista they were "kindly" invited to return to Morrocos. Of course there were bastards, Childs resulting from rape and sexual slaves .... Despite the time that Islam dominated the peninsula, we can say that Roman culture remained dominant in this area. Of course there was influence, not least because most of the time was during the golden age of Islam. Its techniques of agriculture, irrigation, medicine, mathematics and other sciences contributed greatly to the Portuguese overseas expansion. Obviously there are many words of Arabic origin in Portugues and Castilian.
@WILLIAM EWART GLADSTONE Menos mal que ha venido alguien con empaque y presencia a dejar las cosas claras y a hablar el idioma de Cervantes. Con dos cojones !
I found this on wikipedia’s ‘racism’ page and thought it’d be interesting for people to see here: The Umayyad Caliphate invaded Hispania, with Muslim Berber invaders overthrowing the previous Visigothic rulers and creating Al-Andalus,[114] which contributed to the Golden age of Jewish culture, lasting for six centuries.[115] It was followed by the centuries-long Reconquista,[116] terminated under the Catholic monarchs Ferdinand V and Isabella I. The legacy Catholic Spaniards then formulated the Cleanliness of blood doctrine. It was during this time in history that the Western concept of aristocratic "blue blood" emerged in a racialized, religious and feudal context,[117] so as to stem the upward social mobility of the converted New Christians. Robert Lacey explains: It was the Spaniards who gave the world the notion that an aristocrat's blood is not red but blue. The Spanish nobility started taking shape around the ninth century in classic military fashion, occupying land as warriors on horseback. They were to continue the process for more than five hundred years, clawing back sections of the peninsula from its Moorish occupiers, and a nobleman demonstrated his pedigree by holding up his sword arm to display the filigree of blue-blooded veins beneath his pale skin-proof that his birth had not been contaminated by the dark-skinned enemy. Sangre azul, blue blood, was thus a euphemism for being a white man-Spain's own particular reminder that the refined footsteps of the aristocracy through history carry the rather less refined spoor of racism.[118] Following the expulsion of the Arabic Moors and most of the Sephardic Jews from the Iberian peninsula, the remaining Jews and Muslims were forced to convert to Roman Catholicism, becoming "New Christians", who were sometimes discriminated by the "Old Christians" in some cities (e.g. Toledo), despite condemnations by the Church and the State, who were welcoming the new flock.[117] Inquisition was carried out by members of the Dominican Order in order to weed out the converts that still practiced Judaism and Islam in secret. The system and ideology of the limpieza de sangre ostracized false Christian converts from society to protect it against treason.[119] The remnants of such legislation persevered into the 19th century in military contexts.
There is a saying: "Africa begins at the Pyrenees ( mountain range in Spain) "It is an error of geography to have assigned Spain to Europe; it belongs to Africa: blood, manners, language, the way of life and making war, in Spain everything is African. The two nations have been mixed up for too long - the Carthaginians who came from Africa to Spain, the Vandals who left Spain for Africa, the Moors who stayed in Spain for 700 years-for such a long cohabitation not to have confused the race and customs of the two countries. If the Spaniard were Mohammedan, he would be completely African; it is religion that has kept it in Europe." - Dominique Dufour de Pradt Mémoires historiques sur la révolution d’Espagne (1816)

There was actually very little mixing between the muslims and the christians in Spain. Genetic studies show that spaniards are much closer genetically to germans than to moroccans.
That's impossible because Portuguese people have a unique gene that is not found in arab or north African people and it's one of the oldest ones in europe. In Spain it may be a different story because arabs were more time there that they were in Portugal.

Hello, interesting video but went a bit short in those mentioned influences not talking about the main substrat of Iberian people, as the name says the Iberians (modern Basques), formed the bulk of the population that colonized the region up to all Western Europe in pre historic times with the expantion of agriculture, these people substituted the original hunter gatherers. But the most important that missed in your video was the enormous influence of the Celtic culture around 500 BC. The Celts had such a cultural and genetic influence mostly in the western half of the peninsula that still today the region of Galicia presents the name of one of those tribes (the Galli), and Portugal name is a composit word for Portu+Galli = meaning the port of the Gall tribe. Depending on the region up to 60% of the population has Celtic genetic roots and this is evident in so many ways in the culture specially in the NW. Just have a look to these videos from Celtic Portugal and Spain: from NE Portugal - ua-cam.com/video/OK-Es0RXBnk/v-deo.html Bagpipes, kilts, war dances and sward dance are not exclusive from the British islands - Another intersting video: the celtic type of dancing from different regions of Portugal, Spain, France, UK and Ireland - ua-cam.com/video/pMwuOIipOAw/v-deo.html.

@@Skikdii The genetic makeup of the Moroccan population is more than 80% Berber, and a few jewish, Iberian and sub-Saharan.

@Jedi Temple Guard Wikipedia says that the Portuguese where the first European country to discover the islands.. but the pope gave it to the kingdom of castilla
Lol, "some spanisads don't speak castillian", yes, all spanirds DO speak castillian (maybe a few expections on Galicia in the most rural areas), but it's not the lingua mater of all of us.
First off, he meant speaking Spanish as a native language. Secondly, he also explained that a lot of those languages are on the brink of extinction and most people now speak Spanish.
Some don't speak Castillian, some speak a Canarian dialect and some speak an Andalucian dialect. Not to mention the languages of Galician, Catalan and Basque.
of course, there has to be a huge percentage of Arab or Arian blood among most of the spanish who descend from those inhabitants in those days,. You can not erase 800+ years of life from anywhere even if you deny it. Those spanish who came after 1492 may be don't have any connection with Arabs, and that is to be understood. Do most of have Arab or Arian blood? you have to be too obtuse ( like thousands of spaniards) to oppose that.
There is something called Spanish inquisition and because of that most North Africans have some traces of Iberian DNA and that's why today People in the Iberian peninsula that are from Arab and Berber descent come from those that changed their religion to Christianity and they are few of course.
ⵖⵉⵍⴰⵙ ⵍⴰⵜ ⵓⵎⵄⵓⵛ NO, Spain is Latin like France an d Italy. Also a a study says that the blood composition of Spaniard on average are 60-70 % percent r1b that are Western Europe. In some parts of Spain like Basque Country or Catalonia are people that have 90% percent of r1b. Spain is genetically associated with western European peoples such as Ireland, Wales or England that have an average of 80-90 R1B blood. this is because celtic ancestry. Also many Spaniards have northern Europen blood because the for the invasion of barbarian and Germanic peoples formerly. There are also people who say that all Spaniards have North African or Arab blood when this is false. According to studies, only 10 percent of the population in Spain has North African or Arab blood, and within this 10 percent of people, the average of their total blood is only between 5-7 percent of North African blood. Even studies have shown that Italians have much more North African and Arab blood on average than Spaniards.
Spain is the nearest European country to Africa only 14 km and in the past Spain had the longest Arab presence in Europe for about 800 years, so it's normal the strong Arab influence in that country.

Not wanting to see christianity destroyed they changed their name to the teutonic knights and joined Charlimeign at the battle of St. Mary's.

It would b an interesting subject to look at, which I imagine might require DNA analysis as a basis, as much as cultural similarities.

Maybe you should research the Iberomaurusians from North Africa and understand that those were mixed of Iberians and Maurus (Moors) thousands of years ago. Maybe that will free your mind of those racist dumb concepts. Maybe. And by the way Morenos for us Portuguese/Spanish means you're tanned or melanated like Cristiano Ronaldo for example. We also use it for brunette hair. We go to the beach to get Morenos. Get it!? What's that gotta do with invaders!? Moorish never meant black for us! Moorish is having Arab, Amazigh, Persian, Syrian, etc ancestry. There was a time when any Muslim was called "Mouro" (Maure/Mauri/Maurus/Moor). People in the North of Portugal still call us People in Lisbon, Alentejo and Algarve as "Mouros" 'cause in the Reconquista thousands of Moors gave up without a fight, converted to Christianity and embraced the Portuguese flag. That's why Millions of Portuguese and Spanish have "Moorish" ancestry. Again like Cristiano Ronaldo. Like the great majority of People in Alentejo and Algarve Regions. And in Madeira and Azores that were mostly colonized by Moorish-Portuguese a.k.a "New Christians" in the 15th Century.
The Reconquista of the entirety of Portugal was done by 1249, whereas in Spain it was only in 1512....it's a big difference...so please do not compare Portugal to Spain in every respect we are two very different nations. Portugal is the oldest Nation-State in Europe whereas Spain doesn't even come close...and I could go on....and on
Portugal has more admixture with North Africa because he didnt repelled the moors like The Spanish Catholic Kings and the Spanish Inquisition (See Genetic of Iberians in wiki). And Spain culminated the Reconquista in 1492, not 1516 ignorante xD

I remember a girl in high school being shocked that a Spanish exchange student was White. So I had to educate her about where Spain is located. A lot of people in America associate Spanish with Mexico, so their image of a Spaniard is incorrectly a mestizo.
Clarence Thompson yup. Or that latinos isnt a race.
Ah, America. So quick to to denounce or hate other cultures and races when they don't know a damn thing about them.
Same here, when I was in the US many people there were shocked when they saw a white Spaniard who spoke British English, of course many thought I was Mexican.
@The Perfectionist Wrong, our ancestors stayed in Spain, it was the Mexican's ancestors who conquered and colonized Mexico. And let me remind you History changes a lot, there was a time when Latin-America was much richer and civilized than North-America. Besides, the US has played a big role in shaping the current situation in many Latin-American countries, in order to get free access to their resources. Of course their corrupt politicians and the huge inequality are also to blame, but Spain is hardly responsible for the current situation, when those countries got their independence in the early 19th century, their situation compared to other countries was way better than it is today.

That's because the Portuguese colonizers in Brazil mingled with the native amerindians in Brazil.

People usually think (and you show it in your video) that dark hair and eyes are something related to the muslim world, it´s not, it´s older than that. It´s something shared with all mediterranean cultures, since the time when neolithic farmers arrived from Anatolia. In fact, dark eyes/hair and white skin (predominant in Spain) are the typical phenotype of one of the oldest and largest groups of cultures in Europe (shared as well with the people of Wales and Ireland non mixed with saxons and vikings).
...not to mention the Visigoths at the end of the Western Roman Empire as well as 1,000 years earlier when it was colonized by Greeks, Phoenicians and Carthaginians (descended from Phoenicians). There were also pre-Celtic inhabitants even earlier.
Iberians, Celtics, Francs, 💪 bloodlines in Spain let us not forget. Coming from a gallego/Catalan Spaniard. Our history is a thing of beauty.

Pedro4490 Sorry man I dont know if i should believe you, i went to Lisbon this year, I was impressed by the amount of blacks, it was full of africans. Not that is a bad stuff.
yes it is... it is a particularity of Lisbon. Yet that migration is mostly stagnant (after decolonization - 1980s). and some moved to other European countries during the eurocrisis (2010s), as many have Portuguese citizenship and birthplace. they are African-Portuguese, Portuguese blacks, some mixedraced who are considered to be black. It is more similar to the African-American issue, rather than simple African alien migration, even if they derive from migrants, not slaves. But yeah, even in my city we have blacks, even if not in the same numbers as Lisbon.
Thank you for your clarification.
all of them were thrown out after the reqonquista
It is also worth pointing out that there were frequent emigration events from Ireland to Spain (and France) after every uprising against English rule. For example, the famous US chess player Paul Morphy was the descendant of an Irish soldier and his Catalan wife. The surname was changed the from Murphy to Morphy before the family went on to emigrate to New Orleans.

Biology, ethnicity and nationality are three diferents things. The territories can be conquered, the genes can be mixed, but traditions can remain along the centuries. Before Romans, Germanics and Moors, the Iberic Peninsula was already inhabited for thousands of years. Portugal is a small country, but the accent, the traditions and the way of living can be very different from region to region. The North of Portugal as a ancient celtic territory it's still nowdays diferent from the South of Portugal.
True.
South Portugal is "Algarves" ex Kingdom of Algarves
"Celtic" is a nonsense word. So is "Germanic".
It was a mix of Celtic Iberian tribes Iberian were not Celts but inter mixed with the Celts.
@@joaosoares3349
Central and Western Europeans are R1b. Your general, broad range non-Slavic "white". Scandinavians are slightly different (I1?), accounting for their marginally different phenotypes. "Celt" and "Germanic" are neither cultural nor ethnic descriptors. They didn't view themselves as such, it was imposed by Romans at the Rhine arbitrarily, who even admitted they had a hard time identifying the "difference" themselves.
Great video! I’m myself of Portuguese ancestry in Brazil. Good for North Americans understand that Latino is an European term. Latin Americans are genetically and culturally descendants of the Iberian peninsula, but depending on what region in the continent the mix is completely different.
That's why I prefer Ibero América and Hispano América as geographical and cultural references for our region [besides Spanish and Portuguese languages also share 70% of the lexicon], instead of "Latin" - a label that came from a french geopolitical move and later an angloamerican census.
@@helena_aña True, we are more than latin brothers, we have more in common with the hispanic countries of south america than with Spain, Portugal, Italy, or France, ibero america or Hispano America is the perfect way to name the place.

Galician is an official language with its own literature and its forms. It is taught up to high-school and a mandatory subject to access to university if you take the exams in Galicia.
Furthermore, it comes from the "Galaico-Portugués" which covered half of today's Portugal. So, yeah, it hardly "comes" from the portuguese as you put it in the video.
@wonderwiseS2 That's quite a stretch mate. Galicia is mainly rural where Galician language is mostly spoken. People there will speak back to you in Spanish out of respect. The capital Santiago mostly speaks Galician. Spain has regions with their own parliaments, languages that are co-official and mandatory in those adminsitrations etc. That's quite singular.
@@notsetsune you probably missed the ETA, GRAPO, and Catalonian independent movements, also Andalusia was the first community to request independence to be self-governed at the beginning of the 20th century. There is still a lot going on, Spain is not a united homogeneous country.
Pero el "Galaico Portugués" de Galicia está más castellanizado que el de Portugal. Por eso el de Portugal (Portugués) puede considerarse más "primigenio" que el de Galicia (Gallego).
@@notsetsune It is not just a personal reflection of yours, it is the hostile insinuation of some Portuguese, believing that they will break Spain and annex Galicia someday, promoting hatred of Castile, out of ignorance of what Spain is.
Spain has 17 autonomous regions, and 2 autonomous cities. Only 2 regions feel Castilian: Castilla León and Castilla la Mancha. 4.3 million inhabitants. 9% of Spaniards. Madrid, capital of Spain, is in the center of the two regions, and you will not find anyone in Madrid who feels Castilian. They feel Madrileños. Andalusians have always spoken Castilian-Spanish, but they do not feel Castilian. We speak Castilian throughout Spain (known as Spanish). It is true that Castile and Aragon are founders of modern Spain. But the question is not who maintains their independence by destroying Spain. Spain is 3000 years old. It is a Phoenician name. The first Spanish kings were the Visigoths of the 5th century (it included the territory of Portugal, which was not yet called Portugal). Portugal is the fifth kingdom created in the Iberian Peninsula. The 4 kingdoms on the coat of arms of Spain are older than Portugal. The Portuguese felt Spanish until 1713, the War of Succession. They were not included in Spain as a country, with its capital in Madrid, but part of the historical Spanish nation, just as there is a British, Germanic, Italic or Frankish nation, of France, or Gallic. In 1518, Charles I became King of Spain. The King of Portugal protested: "This is a crime and a usurpation of the common name of all Spaniards. We Portuguese are also Spanish." It is not Spain that has to be destroyed to turn the peninsula into a weak and uncompetitive place. Portugal has its independence, just as Austria (part of the German nation) is independent of Germany. That does not mean that Bavaria has to become independent of Germany. Ireland is part of the British Isles, but is now independent. Wallonia in Belgium has French culture, but that doesn't mean France has to break up. Spain has 4 regional languages. Italy has 10 regional languages. France has 15 regional languages (among them German, Italian, Catalan and Basque). That doesn't mean France has to break up. All the great countries of the world are made up of multiple cultures and several religions. The USA has 60 million Spanish speakers and 2 million French speakers. Brazil has hundreds of indigenous languages. I myself speak Castilian and Valencian-Catalan. Castilian is 85% similar to Catalan, and 89% similar to Portuguese. Galician is like 95% similar to Spanish, it is the language that those of us who speak Castilian as a first language understand best. Even the phonetics are the same as Castilian.
Not even Portugal is unicellular, because it is very small. Portugal had independence movements in the Azores and Madeira, which aspired to be independent republics in the Atlantic, like Cape Verde and Sao Tome and Principe, in the 1970s.
There are two regions in Spain where the most pro-Spanish right has always won for the last 25 years: Madrid and Galicia. Franco was Galician. And 3 of the last 4 leaders of the Spanish right, patriotic, are Galician, since 1980: Fraga, Rajoy (president of Spain between 2011-2018) and Feijoó (current candidate). All Galician. In Argentina and Uruguay, all Spanish emigrants are called Galicians.
We also know that more than 40% of Portuguese and Spanish people want a federation between the two countries.
@@notsetsune Spain is a union: we see it in sports, where there are Basques, Catalans and people from all regions, who succeed, winning world cups in football, basketball, handball, hockey... and in many other activities.
While Brazil is beginning to follow its own path in the Portuguese language (as a Portuguese girl told me) because Portugal is very small, the Spanish language is united by the 24 academies of the Spanish language, which produce the dictionary of the Royal Academy.
I am not saying that the Portuguese are Spanish. But they belong to the Hispanic world. Roman Hispania, Visigothic Hispania, Arab Hispania... In all those moments of history Portugal was just another kingdom, along with Castile, Aragon, Navarre and Leon. All these kingdoms, which are on our national and monarchy's coat of arms, are older than Portugal. Navarre was born 300 years before Portugal, Leon 200 years, Aragon 100 years before, and Castile 80 years before.
Nobody called the peninsula Iberia until 1713. There were hardly any great archaeologists. We all called the territory Hispania or Spain. The king of Portugal himself admitted this in 1518: "It is a crime that the union of these kingdoms is called Spain. Because we Portuguese are also Spanish." He wanted us to call ourselves something else, because if not, Portugal would have to be excluded from the name of Spain, so as not to feel annexed or part of that union. In the end Portugal renounces calling the peninsula Hispania or Spain.
It is absurd that you do not believe in Spain as a country. You can believe in Spain as in France or Italy. I seem to remember that we have aircraft carriers, 180 warplanes (compared to 26 Portuguese), state-of-the-art frigates and submarines that launch missiles at 1900 km, all manufactured by our military industry.
The majority of Spaniards believe in Spain. 80% of Galicians vote for Spanish national parties. 60% of Catalans are against independence. And 70% of Basques too. I myself live in one of these communities, and I believe in Spain, as a Breton believes in France. The separatists are 6% of the Spanish parliament. 94% of Spaniards believe in Spain, which is already a country with more human development than France and Italy, and a higher life expectancy than the whole of Europe. Our public health system is excellent. We have just launched a rocket into space. We are already the tenth power in scientific research. The tenth power in the creation of technological start-ups in the world, the second world power in the creation of global infrastructure and high-speed trains (after China), the second investors in Latin America (including Brazil) behind the USA, the second world power in tourism, surpassing the USA. The fourth world heritage site.
We have nothing against Portugal. Even 40% of Portuguese and Spanish people, according to Portuguese and Spanish surveys, are in favour of a federation. It seems difficult to me. I know that the Portuguese are very proud of their nationality, and I respect it as I want them to respect my beloved country, ESPAÑA-HISPANIA. 3000 years of history, and others 4000 years more.

I am from Portugal and Portuguese people are a Romance ethnic group indigenous to Portugal that share a common Portuguese culture and speak Portuguese . Their predominant religion is Christianity , mainly Roman Catholicism . Historically , the Portuguese people's heritage includes the pre-Celts Tribes it calls (Celtiberians , Lusitanians , Gallaecians , Oestriminis , Turduli and Celtici ) , from whom the majority of the population descends . My land used call Lusitania and we call ourselves Lusitanians and the Roman Republic conquered the Iberian Peninsula during the 2nd and 1st centuries B.C , from the extensive maritime empire of Carthage during the series of Punic Wars . The Romans were also an important influence on Portuguese culture , the Portuguese language derives mostly from Latin . The Lusitanians (or Lusitānus/Lusitani in Latin) were an Indo-European speaking people (likely Celtic Tribes ) living in the Western Iberian Peninsula long before it became the Roman province of Lusitania (modern Portugal , Extremadura and a small part of Salamanca in spain )The Turduli , Celtici and the Cynetes Tribes of the Alentejo and the Algarve . They spoke the Lusitanian language , of which only a few short written fragments survive . Most Portuguese consider the Lusitanians as their ancestors . Although the northern regions (Minho, Douro, Tras-os-Montes) identify more with the Gallaecians north of spain . Other minor influences included the Phoenicians/Carthaginians from north of africa , small semi-permanent commercial coastal establishments in the south before 200 BC .The Visigoths and Suebi Tribes , and including the Buri Tribes , permanently established in the early 5th century of Slavic Tribes origin , who also settled in what is today Portuguese territory in north of Portugal . The Berbers Tribes is other minor influences in the portuguese culture , migrated from North Africa in 7th century A.C , they used settled themselves in Alentejo and the Algarve .

By the way, I would like to suggest another topic: After the Reconquista, when Spain forced Muslims and Jews to convert, many Muslims and many Jews continued to practice their faiths in secret.
The Muslims in particular produced fascinating texts, including the first translation of the entire Quran from Arabic to Spanish, in 1606. The final documented instance of a crypto Muslim in Spain was 1725, about 200 years after the forced conversion. This would be a fascinating topic. Give it some thought!
Even more fascinating would be the Murder of the Friars in Cordoba, crucified by the Muslims or the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa when the Christians ambushed the Muslims who had hundreds of chained African "soldiers" guarding the Emir thus losing out on a possible BLM production

Christian and Jew could not rule over a Muslim although there was some exception. Christian women could be taken as wives or concubines by Muslim men but not so the reverse. The moors integrate themselves and intermarried quite often. Many Moors and Caliph of Spain were surprisely white. They had blonde and red hair, blue and green eyes taking it from their mothers.

Portuguese was born from medieval Galician, and not the other way around. Look it up.

@@gabrielaponte6403 You can look it up. In the medieval ages Latin branched into a language that originated and was spoken in the Reino de Galicia (which comprised Galicia and the north of Portugal). When Portugal separated into a different country, that common language branched again into Portuguese.

No, just a person who knows history. It is called "Galeo-portugues" in origin for a reason. Galicia was already there, as a kingdom, with its own language before "portuguese" was even a concept... if you negate this fact you are a damn fool...

the other way around. Local genetic and cultural input is very relevant in Portugal at least. In my city we still have a religious site inherited from prehistory... and we still use it with Christian cover... in fact, people who do not care about religion any longer still care about the site out of superstition. I've used it with others myself. And this is not new age wicca... Also archaeologically pre-Roman sites are the most relevant too.

5:30 Galician is impossible to be a dialect of portuguese. Both came from old galician or what is called now galaico-portuguese. Galician exists even before Portugal was created. Also, catalan is not a dialect. ¿A dialect from what language?
Galician is a different evolution of latin than castillian or catalan. Just that. Portuguese IS DESCENDANT of galician because the first rulers of Portucale county were from Leon and the King decided to repopulate the north of Portugal with galicians and astur-leonese.
It was a mistake on the video.

Yes, I travel to Barcelona and Madrid Spanish are whites, people confused burn skin in summer with real skin colour white.
Finally someone said this. Of course the're people naturally tanned, because we're mediterranean like italian, etc, but the most of spanish are not naturally tanned. If you live in a zone where the sun is really strong, of course your skin will be tanned (we go out a lot), specially in summer. In Andalucia people go a lot to the beach from May until September. In summer they go almost every day (hours and hours) to the beach or at the swimming pool, and naturally they get super dark skinned. Imagine doing that every year of your life.... In autumn the most of people get their natural skin colour back. Of course some keep being tanned. Also we have gypsies. I had a friend that descended from gypsies and worked in a touristic place, because she could speak french. A moroccan tourist thought she was moroccan or from another muslim country and for that reason he complained about her clothes (not wearing hiyab). A moroccan girl who worked with her had to explain to him that my friend was spanish gypsy and not moroccan and/or muslim.

Yes, there're people who can have a very low % of North Africa like in the rest of Spain, but it's not like people are saying. In fact I've seen more people and with higher % North Africa in Portugal. It really surprised me :O. In Spain you can find dark skinned persons everywhere, for example, in Catalonian. It makes me laugh xd.... the fact almost the whole Spain were ruled by muslims X time it doesn't mean people who converted to islam they changed physically too. In those times there were not "invasions" like we see nowadays. Oh btw they ignore the jewish because they didn't rule, but they were here before and more time.

According to recent genetic studies, the Spanish the genetics hace a genetics of between 70 to 80 % Celtic (depending on the área of Spain), followed by Latín (by the Romans) and Germanics (by the Visigoths, Suevi, Vandals and Alans). However, the Bereber/Arabic component does exist, but it is minimal (Spain expelled all Jews in the 15 th century and the few remaining Arab in the 16th century after J.C.).
You can see the Spanish genetic map on the Internet.
In the United States, they think that Spaniards are the same as Mexicana mestizos, but they understand each other by proximity and having no other reference. But physically, Spaniards are very different from Mexicans.

There is a big difference between North Africans and Iberians. Some North Africans also look white speacilly the ones that live on the coast.
Muslims and Jews were expelled from the Iberian Peninsula, and even if some muslims stayed after 500 years they look white.
Jews were Iberian converts in Roman times. That's why they get 80% Iberian in dna tests

@LjFJDhs they werent all kicked out some people still might have 10 or 20% not many. After the years people mixed up.
@@goodnightcore4448 Not exactly true. There was active trade between Spain/Iberia and the Levant and areas that now comprise Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria (as well as the rest of the Mediterranean). There are recorded accounts of Jews from the Bethlehem region that settled in Spain, and some Hispanic/Iberian individuals that did reverse migrations. Aside from that Sephardic Jews kept many of the historic traditions, names, and vocabulary which would not likely have been the case if they were simply converts (nor the identifiable Jewish DNA markers in Sephardic Jews and many non-Jewish Spaniards), ie Maimonides. The Jewish population left a big impact on Spanish culture just as the Moors did. Everything from Spanish Catholic rites and songs to names and traditions were heavily influenced by Jewish tradition. If you look at exiled Portuguese Jewish people that settled in Amsterdam the ancient traditions are noticeable as well. You can find the same cultural markers in Jews that migrated to Latin America during the Spanish colonial period. Iberia was a very multicultural and cosmopolitan area when the Moors and Christians both ruled. Cities like Cordoba, Seville, etc. were important learning and trading centers from peoples from all over the Mediterranean, and in fact were the premiere learning centers for science, math, medicine, and philosophy in Europe during the Dark (Middle) Ages. In the rest of Europe during those times rudimentary learning was largely confined to monasteries and royalty.
Race is a slippery concept. There are too many 'grey areas' to categorise racial differences precisely. Culture and heritage are more important.
Now sciencists talk about ethnicties instead of race, is a far mor accurate model since it not only bases it's parameters on appearance as the racial model, it also considers migratory history, all different genetic heritages and lineages, geography, language and culture. That model IS much better as it is actually based on empirical evidence and can explaon the way humans migrated from Africa to the rest of the world as well as human evolution instead of just lumping together different people that just so happen to share certain superficial similarities from a certain perspective.
@@MatameVideos To a large extent, ethnicities are incipient races anyway.
@Kalid Ibrahim Not entirely though, for instance if you plot all european ethnicities on a map then they would be a lot closer together than any non european ethnic group thus making the race.

CynthiaSantovena CynthiaSantovena Exactly. Another piece of evidence that Spaniards are white come from the Aztecs and their encounter with the arrivals. They were described as having "yellow hair and some had black hair". Did Arabs have blonde hair? Of course not. Not only that but there are tons of descendants of the Spanish living in Latin America. Where else did these white looking Latinos come from?
A true ethnic Spaniard has fair skin (with a slightly olive tint, hence why they tan nicely), most have dark hair but blonde and red isn't uncommon especially in the northern regions, their eyes are rarely mongoloid influenced (unlike some northern euros) but like northern euros, they have longish faces.

Nonsense. North Africa still speaks Tmazight, which is written in Tifinagh (like this 'ⵉⵎⴰⵣⵉⵖⵏ'). It's still a major language which is even being taught at schools, and the official language of some countries. Places where there are Imazighen ("Berbers"); Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Libya, Tunisia to Eastern Egypt.
I mean, considering the fact that it survived thousands of years also with external powers trying to erase it (Romans, Arabs, French), I have to say it's quite popular. I was born and raised in the Netherlands, parents from the north of Morocco, myself and everyone in my family over here in Europe speaks it. Other Amazigh people originally from Africa around here, all speak it.
Every autosomal (full ancestry - determines phenotype) DNA study has the Portuguese strongly clustering with Spaniards, French and North Italians. There is also some closeness with the Swiss. The Portuguese are predominantly an Atlantic Facade population group. In addition, the ongoing DODECAD ancestry autosomal project has recorded European and West Asian (Anatolian) DNA affinities close to 90% (~ 80% European and ~ 7% Anatolian) for Portugal. Portuguese also have more than 36% N. European input, third highest in Southern Europe behind France (~ 50%) and Spain (~ 38%). One study actually has Portugal with more Balto-Finnic than Poland, 3.5% for the former and ~1.25% for the latter.
As far as Haplogroups are concerned, check the Eupedia tables. Combined Y-DNA and mt-DNA shows a hugely dominant percentage of Western European Haplogroups. There are also some Balkanite and Anatolian (Y-DNA J2) markers (due to ancient Greek and Phoenician settlements, jews and muslims couldn't marry people from other faiths). Near Eastern frequencies in total are rather minor.
Millions of Spaniards converted to Islam. At one point the majority of Spaniards in Muslims controlled Spanish cities were Muslims (majority of southern spaniards). The not being able to marry out of the faith doesn't have anything to do with genetics as tens of millions of Iberians themselves were Muslims.

No, Spaniards hardly have Arab or North African blood, most have Neolithic Farmer ancestry from Anatolia which Arabs also share but Arabs also mixed with South Asians and other populations whereas Spaniards also have the Western Hunter Gatherer and Ancient North Eurasian ancestry that other Europeans have in higher amounts, Spaniard genomes have Neolithic Farmer ancestry predominantly.
The Visigoth Conquest created a sense of nationhood in Iberia which has continued for 1500 years. No longer a Roman Colony but a nation that would be tempered and forged by 783 years of Crusades culminating in total victory and the emergences of The World's first and second global Superpowers.

North African ≠ Arab
Thats like calling Sicilians Roma Italianos. Just because a group of people come from the same land, doesn't mean they're all the same!!
Who says "italianos", the plural of "italiano" is "italiani", Italian doesn't put an s to make words plural
If you go all the way to the beginning, we are descendants of Adam and Eve, may God be pleased with both of them. Which makes all of us brothers and sisters.
Ha u inbred
*I dont know for sure, but I think Italians and French are also very mixed with Arabs.*
How?
Yes .
Maybe the Sicilians, but how could the French be mixed with Arabs ? Arabs didn't stay ling enough in France, even on the Mediterranean cost
kiouwax Of course that little culture, the Phoenicians and Carthaginians were centuries in France more of 600 years, even founded cities such as MARSEILLE, that lack culture.
Alicate 15-M Massalia (today's Marseille) was a Greek colony founded by the people of city-state of Phokaia.
Phoenicians didn't have any permanent settlements on the northern coast of the Mediterranean. They sticked to southern coast, isles and southern Iberia.
A little of history: The conquer of the Iberian peninsula by the Muslims was in 15 years. The form to conquer this territory was intelligent and quick and it's not how the speaker is imaging. The Muslim army defeated the last king of the Visigoths who in this period was inside a civil war. The Muslims did pacts with the local noble and they respected the properties and titles only with one condition, they should use the Muslim religion. A lot of nobles changed their religion and stayed in their places and their cities and the same with the people. When the Muslims conquered the peninsula they not killed all inhabitants and replaced them with others from the north of Africa. The war's conflicts were a few.
Really the people were the same but the governors were Muslims and Berbers. The Christians who didn't want to stay with the Muslim governors went to the north of the country and found Asturias a new Christian kingdom. It's the reason then you can discover that the people in Spain and Portugal are white, amazing.
Didn’t the Spanish and Moors not mix culturally and if they did most “Moors” weren’t actually Arab but Spanish themselves just converted to Islam?
@@sevendaysaweek2622 the term moor refers to north African berbers converted to islam. IIn a very unassertive way we can say that the Moors are actually the Moroccans.
And they mixed but in a superficial level, since the ones that married converted to Islam and after reconquista they were "kindly" invited to return to Morrocos. Of course there were bastards, Childs resulting from rape and sexual slaves ....
Despite the time that Islam dominated the peninsula, we can say that Roman culture remained dominant in this area. Of course there was influence, not least because most of the time was during the golden age of Islam. Its techniques of agriculture, irrigation, medicine, mathematics and other sciences contributed greatly to the Portuguese overseas expansion. Obviously there are many words of Arabic origin in Portugues and Castilian.

I found this on wikipedia’s ‘racism’ page and thought it’d be interesting for people to see here: The Umayyad Caliphate invaded Hispania, with Muslim Berber invaders overthrowing the previous Visigothic rulers and creating Al-Andalus,[114] which contributed to the Golden age of Jewish culture, lasting for six centuries.[115] It was followed by the centuries-long Reconquista,[116] terminated under the Catholic monarchs Ferdinand V and Isabella I. The legacy Catholic Spaniards then formulated the Cleanliness of blood doctrine. It was during this time in history that the Western concept of aristocratic "blue blood" emerged in a racialized, religious and feudal context,[117] so as to stem the upward social mobility of the converted New Christians. Robert Lacey explains:
It was the Spaniards who gave the world the notion that an aristocrat's blood is not red but blue. The Spanish nobility started taking shape around the ninth century in classic military fashion, occupying land as warriors on horseback. They were to continue the process for more than five hundred years, clawing back sections of the peninsula from its Moorish occupiers, and a nobleman demonstrated his pedigree by holding up his sword arm to display the filigree of blue-blooded veins beneath his pale skin-proof that his birth had not been contaminated by the dark-skinned enemy. Sangre azul, blue blood, was thus a euphemism for being a white man-Spain's own particular reminder that the refined footsteps of the aristocracy through history carry the rather less refined spoor of racism.[118]
Following the expulsion of the Arabic Moors and most of the Sephardic Jews from the Iberian peninsula, the remaining Jews and Muslims were forced to convert to Roman Catholicism, becoming "New Christians", who were sometimes discriminated by the "Old Christians" in some cities (e.g. Toledo), despite condemnations by the Church and the State, who were welcoming the new flock.[117] Inquisition was carried out by members of the Dominican Order in order to weed out the converts that still practiced Judaism and Islam in secret. The system and ideology of the limpieza de sangre ostracized false Christian converts from society to protect it against treason.[119] The remnants of such legislation persevered into the 19th century in military contexts.
There is a saying: "Africa begins at the Pyrenees ( mountain range in Spain)
"It is an error of geography to have assigned Spain to Europe; it belongs to Africa: blood, manners, language, the way of life and making war, in Spain everything is African. The two nations have been mixed up for too long - the Carthaginians who came from Africa to Spain, the Vandals who left Spain for Africa, the Moors who stayed in Spain for 700 years-for such a long cohabitation not to have confused the race and customs of the two countries. If the Spaniard were Mohammedan, he would be completely African; it is religion that has kept it in Europe."

Hello, interesting video but went a bit short in those mentioned influences not talking about the main substrat of Iberian people, as the name says the Iberians (modern Basques), formed the bulk of the population that colonized the region up to all Western Europe in pre historic times with the expantion of agriculture, these people substituted the original hunter gatherers. But the most important that missed in your video was the enormous influence of the Celtic culture around 500 BC. The Celts had such a cultural and genetic influence mostly in the western half of the peninsula that still today the region of Galicia presents the name of one of those tribes (the Galli), and Portugal name is a composit word for Portu+Galli = meaning the port of the Gall tribe. Depending on the region up to 60% of the population has Celtic genetic roots and this is evident in so many ways in the culture specially in the NW. Just have a look to these videos from Celtic Portugal and Spain: from NE Portugal - ua-cam.com/video/OK-Es0RXBnk/v-deo.html Bagpipes, kilts, war dances and sward dance are not exclusive from the British islands - Another intersting video: the celtic type of dancing from different regions of Portugal, Spain, France, UK and Ireland - ua-cam.com/video/pMwuOIipOAw/v-deo.html.

The genetic makeup of the Moroccan population is more than 80% Berber, and a few jewish, Iberian and sub-Saharan. The royal family has become genetically mixed with Amazigh, the king's mother is an Amazigh woman from khnifra and so is his grandmother, basically all Moroccan alaouite kings have married to Amazigh women that their genetic makeup has melted in the dominant Amazigh genes through the centuries, this is normal. Morocco is both Arab and Amazigh country because both languages Arabic and Tamazight are official languages. But genetically it is Berber since ancient ages.

of course, there has to be a huge percentage of Arab or Arian blood among most of the spanish who descend from those inhabitants in those days,. You can not erase 800+ years of life from anywhere even if you deny it. Those spanish who came after 1492 may be don't have any connection with Arabs, and that is to be understood.

There is something called Spanish inquisition and because of that most North Africans have some traces of Iberian DNA and that's why today People in the Iberian peninsula that are from Arab and Berber descent come from those that changed their religion to Christianity and they are few of course.

ⵖⵉⵍⴰⵙ ⵍⴰⵜ ⵓⵎⵄⵓⵛ NO, Spain is Latin like France an d Italy. Also a a study says that the blood composition of Spaniard on average are 60-70 % percent r1b that are Western Europe.

Spain is genetically associated with western European peoples such as Ireland, Wales or England that have an average of 80-90 R1B blood. this is because celtic ancestry. Also many Spaniards have northern Europen blood because the for the invasion of barbarian and Germanic peoples formerly.
There are also people who say that all Spaniards have North African or Arab blood when this is false. According to studies, only 10 percent of the population in Spain has North African or Arab blood, and within this 10 percent of people, the average of their total blood is only between 5-7 percent of North African blood.

A lot of People in the South in Sevilla, Malaga, Almeria, etc you can't really understand if their Gispsies or Moors (Mouros, Morenos). Aquele Abraço de Portugal

Maybe you should research the Iberomaurusians from North Africa and understand that those were mixed of Iberians and Maurus (Moors) thousands of years ago. Maybe that will free your mind of those racist dumb concepts. Maybe. And by the way Morenos for us Portuguese/Spanish means you're tanned or melanated like Cristiano Ronaldo for example. We also use it for brunette hair. We go to the beach to get Morenos. Get it!? What's that gotta do with invaders!? Moorish never meant black for us! Moorish is having Arab, Amazigh, Persian, Syrian, etc ancestry. There was a time when any Muslim was called "Mouro" (Maure/Mauri/Maurus/Moor). People in the North of Portugal still call us People in Lisbon, Alentejo and Algarve as "Mouros" 'cause in the Reconquista thousands of Moors gave up without a fight, converted to Christianity and embraced the Portuguese flag. That's why Millions of Portuguese and Spanish have "Moorish" ancestry. Again like Cristiano Ronaldo. Like the great majority of People in Alentejo and Algarve Regions. And in Madeira and Azores that were mostly colonized by Moorish-Portuguese a.k.a "New Christians" in the 15th Century.
The Reconquista of the entirety of Portugal was done by 1249, whereas in Spain it was only in 1512....it's a big difference...so please do not compare Portugal to Spain in every respect we are two very different nations. Portugal is the oldest Nation-State in Europe whereas Spain doesn't even come close...and I could go on....and on
Portugal has more admixture with North Africa because he didnt repelled the moors like The Spanish Catholic Kings and the Spanish Inquisition (See Genetic of Iberians in wiki). And Spain culminated the Reconquista in 1492, not 1516 ignorante xD

In North-America, people are often surprised when they see a White person with a Spanish name. One of my client told me once that I didn't look Spanish because I don't look like a Latino... An other one asked from what Spanish country he was from...
Not just North America, most people don't see Spanish people as white.
@@MichaelTheophilus906 Many Spanish from the north of the country look like Irish because this part of Spain is Celt.
@@MichaelTheophilus906 Yes, some Portugueses have pale skin and blue eyes.
@@ns2859 Race in North America is based on an Anglo-Saxon standard so there are a lot of Spaniards that would not be considered white in the United States or Canada. This has always perplexed me as a Spanish person. I showed a picture of the contestants of Operación Triunfo 2018 to a North American and asked him how many he thinks would be considered people of color in North America and he said probably 6...one of the contestants is African and another is Latino and very tan so I was expecting him to at least say 2 but I genuinely did not know which other 4 he was referring to without asking him.
@@zlo8389 Absolutely not, most Spaniards would be considered as Whites in North America (what they are). Thinking than Spaniards are not White because they have the same names than Latinos is as ridiculous than thinking than French are not White because they have the same last names than Haitians.
I'm half Salvadoran and got 5% Spanish but 12% Middle East.

SOME Spaniards and Portuguese have north african admixture. MOST Spaniards and Portuguese don't, which is surprising considering how long Muslim occupation lasted in the Iberian peninsula.
Not some but many!!
@@amazingamazigh6847 when the entire population of the iberian penunsula is taken, those with north african admixture remain a considerable minority. Most Spaniards and Portuguese are pretty interchangeable genetically with any other West European group. Therefore, not really many.
@@vodkatonyq Ur stoopid af Spaniards and Portuguese have heavy Arab Middle Eastern moor and North Africa dna Thier Mediterranean people they are mixed with Arabs North Africans etc they are more closer to people from the near east than to northern Europeans!
@@vodkatonyq A Southern Spaniard is more closer to syrians than da British!
@@vodkatonyq When the entire population of Iberia is considered dat just adds way more Arab dna dumbass!
