It's a shame that the comments are full of people offended that you considered the light-skinned Imazighen of North Africa to be original Imazighe. I find it quite ironic how many African Americans complain by pointing out the skin color of others when that is the first thing that the first anti-racism activists tried to combat: judging others by the color of their skin. I never imagined that they judge others the same way they are judged for having dark skin. No one in the world is 100% original native to a place, because that is a human construct. No culture is completely immutable and humanity has always mixed since we emerged as a species. Thanks to all this we prosper. It is totally wrong to demand purism at all human levels when in reality they do not exist, never existed and never will exist. The light-skinned Amazigh are Amazigh native to North Africa, period. Treating them as non-native invaders is a lack of respect for their identities. Then African Americans complain that white supremacists in the United States call them the same thing. Is a shame that instead of considering them African brothers, they end up calling them various derogatory names just for having white skin, a real shame.

The Maure, Tebu, Nubians, Siwa Egyptians, Sa'hidi Egyptians, Haratin, Umuhagh, Zanaga and their ancestors were all Black as shown on the 11 yo rock paintings ect ect.These people as you pointed out have a lot of Arab or European admixture, despite the indigenous genetic markers. STR loci would look deeper than genetic markers and easily reveal this fact. Very light(aka white) skin is not indigenous/autochthonous to any part Africa, it is from central Asia. Light (white)skin genes SLC45A2 and SLC24 A5 came from central Asia, and spread all over the world in migrations starting 8000 years ago. These are genes that people inherit via sexual selection, so it is an inherited Asiatic feature from central Asia. Due to back migrations for over 5000 years, anyone in Africa can display a certain amount of the gene mutation activation, creating unique skin shades of light, light brown, brown, and dark brown skin tones of black phenotypes. So it's not an adaptation. North Africans have that most of this gene, from very recent admixtures hence being white. YDNA haplo group E, an indigenous African group. MTDNA haplo group L, is indigenous to Africa. The Anatolian farmers have ancestry from east Africa prior to 15k BC. The Maure tribe still look like horners. So they are a culture/linguistic group only.

Berber is a language and culture, not a race or skin color and originates in East Africa not Europe. But of course Europeans (and this video) will not tell you this and try to pretend that "berber" is exclusively associated with light or white skin. Which is implying it originated with it originated with Eurasian migration into North Africa and that is completely false. And they also use genetics to reinforce this by focusing exclusively on populations close to the coast, in order to associate Eurasian genes with the origin and spread of Berber languages. Not to mention they totally omit and downplay the spread of Greeks, Romans, Europeans and Arabs in more recent times. The spread of Berber languages is associated with the spread of pastoralists and other populations across the Sahara from East Africa about 6,000 years ago. In fact, the origin of most neolithic traditions in North Africa is in the ancient Sahara and Sahel, including early agriculture, pottery and pastoralism. That is also not Eurasian in origin. And the rock art across the Sahara is proof of this, along with all he various neothithic and pastoral sites they have found. And that reinforces the fact that the language Amazigh is an Afro Asiatic language, which has its main homeland in East Africa. And haplogroup E-M81 derives from haplogroup E-M35 which comes from the Horn of Africa. And black Africans have been in North Africa for hundreds of thousands of years and over time have evolved many different features especially in areas close to Europe, with variation in skin tones that are indigenous (similar to populations in East Africa and the horn). But in coastal North Africa you have had mixing with Eurasians on a continual basis over the last 5,000 years. And this includes many Berbers who now are in Europe (especially France) and have European mates. So please, it is obvious that parts of North Africa close to Europe would have mixture but that proximity to Europe is not where Berber language or culture originates. And historically white skin has not been the primary phenotype of North Africans especially across the Sahara going back 10,000 years ago when it was wet. And it is the Sahara where ancient Berber culture originates not along the coasts of the Mediterranean. And no, Sheshonq was not an Amazigh as there is no proof that he spoke a Berber language. He part of the tribes of ancient Libya called Meshwesh but there is no evidence of what language they spoke. And it has always been implied that because they are depicted with light skin, they represent the origin of Berber language and culture, which again is false. They are just an ancient coastal population who happened to be lighter skinned but are not the origin of Berber languages and culture.

Lol so they're just North African people? Both light skinned and dark skinned like any other African people.

[@Kai-sm3md]

White skin originated in Central Asia, 10,000 to 8,000 years ago [8,000 to 6,000 BC]. There is no way that these people, with European or Central Asian phenotypes, are products of indigenous developments of the African geography and climate. Their phenotype would not have developed without admixture or in some instances, complete replacement, by people bearing phenotypes that originated in more recent times in Central Asia. They may bear indigenous haplogroups, such as yDNA E, but that doesnt change the fact that they no longer reflect the image of the True Indigenous people of North Africa. Look at the mummy of Uan Muhuggiag, found in Libya. The mummified child is an indigenous black African. It is not until we get closer to the period of the Bronze Age Collapse that "white people" in the context of North Africa begin to be portrayed in recorded history. These "Libyans" depicted in Egyptian Art are likely related to the Sea Peoples from the Mediterranean or even further north. Again, not indigenous to Africa.

This is completely false, the fair skin mutation in Western Eurasians specifically is 22,000-28,000 years old, and just because a paleolithic population lacked the mutation, does not mean you would be or look like a Black Africans. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_skin

basic database nile valley studies zarahan quote- Both skeletal/cranial and DNA studies by other authors confirm that some Neolithics did not derive from the Near East. They most likely resembled African populations. Hence comparisons using older European Neolithics versus Africans are comparisons with older prehistoric Europeans who looked more like Africans, than modern 'white' Europeans, as shown by Brace (2005), and Hanihara (1996) also, who states "Early West Asians looked like Africans." "The absence of mtDNA haplogroup J in the ancient Portuguese Neolithic sample suggests that this population was not derived directly from Near Eastern farmers. The Mesolithic and Neolithic groups show genetic discontinuity implying colonisation at the Neolithic transition in Portugal." (CHANDLER, H.; SYKES, B.; ZILHÃO, J.

(eds.) - «Actas del III Congreso del Neolítico en la Península Ibérica», Santander, Monografías del Instituto Internacional de Investigaciones Prehistóricas de Cantabria 1, p. 781-786.) "Early Europeans still resembled modern tropical peoples - some resemble modern Australian and Africans, more than modern Europeans.. Nor does the picture get any clearer when we move on to the Cro-Magnons, the presumed ancestors of modern Europeans. Some were more like present-day Australians or Africans, judged by objective anatomical observations." (Christopher Stringer, Robin McKie (1998). African Exodus.

Then there is this. quote- African peoples are the most diverse in the world whether analyzed by DNA or skeletal or cranial methods. The peoples of the Nile Valley quote- Simplistic "race percentage" models are dubious in Africa which has the highest genetic diversity in the world. That diversity proceeded from deeper sub-Saharan Africa, to East and N.E. Africa, then to the rest of the globe. All other populations, including Europeans and "Middle easterners" carry this diversity which was built into Africa to begin with. Africans thus don't need any "race mix" to look different. Their diversity is built-in and supplied the whole globe. Any returnees or "backflow" to Africa looked like Africans, including Europeans. (Brace 2005, Hanihara 1996, Holliday 2003). and quote- African people have a range of physical variation and don't need inspiration or mixes from cold-climate/light skinned Europeans or Asiatics to explain why. Features like narrow noses, thin lips, height etc are all indigenous to Africa. Africa has both the highest phenotypic diversity and the highest genetic diversity in the world and don’t need cold-climate/light skin inspiration for that established fact. All cold-climate/light skinned Europeans and Asiatics are SUBSETS of original African diversity. Modern DNA studies find even though some African peoples look different, they are genetically related through the PN2 transition clade of the Y-chromosome. Thus light-skinned African Libyans and dark-skinned Zulus are all genetically related Africans, even though they don't look exactly the same. (Keita 2004; Tishkoff 2002, Ely et al, 2006, Stevanovitch 2004)

SuperBunnyman1 quote- Let me get your brother some facts as a person who studied genetics and as a microbiologist by trade I can emphatically tell you that you guys don't know what you're talking about I'm sorry Brothers skin color has nothing to do with interracial mixing so-called black people are the most genetically diverse people on the planet all people come from black people I hope your brothers understand that there is something called natural variation and genetic diversity so basically you can come from a line of people who are very very very very very dark skin and due to genetic diversity you'll eventually come up with a child who is lighter then their ancestors that person may be very very light complexion to where they almost look white or they could be caramel complexion there was a case in Nigeria where a couple married couple had twins one twin came out dark the other twin came out with blonde hair and blue eyes and look white they did a DNA test and both the mother and father are the biological parents this is something that happens more often than you realize there is a whole tribe in Africa I can't remember the name of the tribe they have never been with Europeans and the whole tribe has blonde hair and blue eyes and they are extremely light complected and they have no European ancestry another perfect example I myself am a light skinned brother I have no European ancestry I am a descendant of slaves but fortunately my ancestors were not sexually abused or exploited by the slave owner the only people that are light skinned in my family is my mother and my grandmother and on my father's side is just him no one else is light complected in my immediate family they're all dark or light brown and when I ran my DNA I have no European ancestry so your brothers need to look up some books on genetics

Whiteness is not Indigenous to Africa. The Berbers became lighter from import of White slaves, Arab and European migration and Conquest. Skin colors lighter than what we consider Black are only about 40k yrs old and Whiteness is estimated to be between 8-10k yrs. There is no such thing as an Indigenous White African. What you see in White North Africans is the breeding out of Black skin tones. Also please note that there are still Black North Africans.

You do like making videos that set off the we were kings crowd. They have hair triggers. Saying indigenous Berbers are White because they are light skinned and not sub Saharan black skinned id silly. I have been to Africa, not a nice place to be, but I have been there. North Africa Berbers are not like Europeans in color or looks, they are more like Middle Easterners with some features of recent negro ancestry. As you go south, there are tribes of negroes that have adopted Berber customs and language, though they are admixed also. As you go further south there are the Fula, they are a hodgepodge of ethnic groups mostly sub Saharan African.

[@robertepps2834]

The Original Berbers are the Black Berbers just like the Original Arabs are the Black Arabs. White people just got to Arabia and North Africa 6,600 years ago. So those so called white Arabs and white Berbers are the result of Race mixing between the Original Black people of those areas and the johnny come lately white people who just got to those areas 6,600 years ago. The Original Black Arabs and the Original Black North Africans have been in those areas since the beginning of time.

[@AfroArtistaFilms]

The perception that only Negroid people are the only legitimate Africans is a gross misrepresentation of reality. Africa is more diverse than you think. People of all shades and features have existed in Africa since prehistoric times.

[@robertepps2834]

What you got to understand is the origin of white people and how they got on the planet to begin with. Then you need to know when they was sent to North Africa which Arabia is apart of. For you to say white indigenous people shows that you don't even know and understand the word indigenous because white people are not indigenous to no part of the planet including Europe! They were sent to Europe (all that we could find that is) by our Black Fathers who were from Arabia 6,600 years ago because of their trouble making in Arabia. And some of them were sent to Egypt and North Africa as well. This is the truth history of how white got into Arabia and North Africa. Now can you disprove this? I don't think so! But if you think you can have at it! I'm waiting.

What does that have to do with anything? You should be examining whether what I'm saying is the truth or falsehood. That's what you should be asking and focusing on. Truth cannot be defeated no matter where it's coming from or who's saying it. Truth disarms you where you cannot attack it with facts and logic and disprove it. This is why you can't respond back to me with anything that can disprove what I said because I'm actually telling you the truth! But you just haven't realized it yet. Give it time. It will sink in!

[@mouyat]

The geography of Africa does not define its blackness. People did not change colour, or features, soon as stepping off the continent. Races were evolving as they moved north, west and south from central Africa, family groups breaking off, moving away and taking their genetics with them. These became new races. African races were diverse long before crossing into Eurasia. North Africa and the Middle East were never ‘subsaharan African’. Hannibal was not ‘Negroid’, (to use an objectionable word).

Color and race has everything to do with how people evolve and adapt to the climate and the environment you live in, if you live near the equator you’ll find that people are darker and will get lighter the further you stray away from the equator. So when you go to Mali and see the twaregh people they have more of a subsaharienne look but as you get to the Mediterranean, you’ll see more lighter features.
