Black African Genetic Markers High With Portugues, Spaniards and Italians?

I was just reading this, in some regions of Spain and Portugal, it reaches as high as 10-22%. Another study suggests this, taken from this wiki page.

In Italy, according to the Uniparental Markers of Contemporary Italian Population, an analysis indicated that Italians have an autosomal basal proportion of sub-Saharan ancestry that is higher (9.2%, on average) than other central or northern European populations (1.5%, on average). The amount of African ancestry in Italians is however more comparable to (but slightly higher than) the average in other Mediterranean countries (7.1%).[23]
In north west Spain and Portugal, sub-Saharan autosomal ancestry is on average 7.1%.[23]

Does anyone think these studies are not accurate? I have seen Sicilian 23andme results on here and they all had 0.3-1.2% Sub-Saharan African ancestry.

I also made a post about this here a long time ago, but I am banned on this forum.

Romans must have used African slaves.

What is your point in making two threads about this? Are you some kind of niggercentrist? That study already has a thread about it. According to all good studies, Italians, and Iberians have no significant jungle bunny admixture, only like 0-2 percent of East African which is already transitional to West Eurasian components.

The ones from Alcácer do Sal were from a location historically known to be a guetto with black/moorish slaves and people with deseases that were outcasted by society.



Yes, they made it purposely to mislead and tricking people into thinking the Portuguese were "so nice that they didn't murder or expel minorities during the Middle and Discovery Ages".

They clearly don't know anything about us.
