Do Modern Spanish and Portuguese People have North African or Arab Blood?

Are Spaniards and Portuguese today mixed with North Africans or Arabs? Today we're going to be following up our last video on Latin America, and digging up the roots of the Iberian people groups.
Because of the hectic environment in pre-modern Iberia, the genetics, language, culture and attitude of the groups living there are quite unique in Europe, and that makes it a very interesting place to learn about.
Be sure to let me know your thoughts on Iberia and the rise of the Spaniards and Portuguese in the comments below. Thanks for watching!

[@Herr_Artago]

@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.

[@bobsaget7315]

Probably because it's a salad bowl of different ethnicities and most other countries don't have to experience that and are pretty homogenous or have people from the same geographical area while the US has large minorities from all over the world besides Europe who make up about 40-50% of the population. The only other country I can think of is Brazil which is arguably more racist than the US, nearly half of their population has a strong African heritage yet all their politicians look 100% European.

[@XavierbTM1221]

"it's a salad bowl of different ethnicities" I come from Latin America (one of the most if not the most hetereogeneous cultural region in the world, you can find people with roots from anywhere else in the world, and Africans, Middle Easterns, mixed race people, Amerindians, East Asians and Euros live in quite harmony) and AFAIK since the fall of the Spanish Empire in the Americas and the end of the "Castas" system race has never been a mayor topic of disscussion Its quite shocking for us to see people live togheter for hundreds of years and still not knowing how to get along like in the US

Lol bullshit. Latin Americans treat Africans like shit. My father is an immigrant from Latin American and he'd tell me stories about how blacks and the more native looking Hispanics were treated by him and his friends and the rest of the more European looking people/ruling class/elite. He regrets it now after coming here. There is a reason that so many poor native looking Latinos and blacks want to come to the states friend. It's a place of opportunity for all races. And I would still say that the States are way more heterogeneous than Latin America and any other country in the world. It's not even worth having an argument over... 95% of most Latin Americans are on a spectrum of a mix of native and spanish/portuguese, and some other small amounts of other European. The States on the other hand have immigrants from ALL over Europe, not just mostly Spain/Portugal. There are also way more Africans and Asians here as a percentage of the population.

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).

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.

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 .

The Sephardic Jews thrived under the caliphates of Andalusia (Iberian peninsula). They lived well and held top jobs under Moor rule. Look it all even. The Jews were expelled from Spain the Muslims. They were forced to convert or into exile,but many other died horrible deaths under torture during the Spanish Inquisition, they massacred a lot of Jews and Muslims in the most sadistic inhumane ways due to their religion. The Christian reconquest of Spain was brutal,many Jews forced to convert or die,like the Muslims. That is how many Jews ended up in Morocco, Algeria,Tunisia,Libya and to a lesser extent Egypt. They lived in mostly peace in those countries and co existed mostly in peace but violence was rare, that is until Zionism established the state of Israel and killed and drove out many innocent unarmed Palestinian civilians from their towns and villages. More violence started because of the politics. Even so,the Jews of North Africa then mostly immigrated to Israel but some still live there, but a very small communities in Morocco and Tunisia only today. The Jews of Spanish origin lived well under the Ottoman Empire caliphate too,one of the Ottoman sultan's best personal doctors was a Jewish man of Serphadic origin. Compared to medieval Christian kingdoms,the Jews much better and prosperous and in peace under Islamic rule in Spain and other Caliphates like Ottoman. The Jews were more oppressed and experienced more pogroms and attacks in Christian Europe than in Middle-Eastern,North-African and Anatolian(modern day Turkey), Andalusian (Spain), Islamic kingdoms. Fact check it . Your Moorish and Sephardic Jewish (Spanish/Portuguese Jews) because they co existed together and the Moors and Jews left Spain together after been forced out and slaughtered by the Christian armies of the Spanish monarchies after the recapture of Spain from Moorish Islamic rule. The Jews were more prosperous,lived better and were free do worship as Jews until then.

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).

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.

[@Farrukhsiyar159]

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.

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.
