Autosomal DNA of white-looking Algerians? (Berbers)

[Creaticia]

I've noticed that among Algerians, some Kabyles have a phenotype similar to those of Northern Europe.

So I was wondering if you had any DNA results to see if theirs is similar to other Algerians (who generally look like a mix of Southern Europe + MENA + a little African).

I've noticed that among Algerians, some Kabyles have a phenotype similar to those of Northern Europe.


Description:
Maghrebi type with similarities to Cromagnids and North Europeans - probably in part a result of convergent evolution of pre-Neolithic North Africans adapting to cloudy mountain regions, and partially of prehistoric migrations from Europe. Historically in some areas of the Canary Islands, especially in Gomera, Tenerife (Guanches), and Gran Canaria, heavily mixed on the islands today. Also in Berbers (Riffians, Kabyles), Tunisians, and Western Libya (Giado, Nalut).

Physical Traits:
Fair skin, wavy reddish, brown or blonde hair. Mixed eyes. Tall, mesoskelic, ectomorph to mesomorph. Mesocephalic, chamae- orthocranic, relatively large-headed. Mildly leptorrhine. Face broad, sometimes a bit low, large jaw, significant supraorbital arches, occasional mild prognathy, occiput round. Body hair modest.

I think they just have less African and that's it. They are not significantly more Northern European than other Maghrebis, unless they have some Morisco Iberian ancestry. So they'd be like 15% SSA and not 25-30%.

Still in the North African cluster.

[Creaticia]

Maghrebis are in average 15-20% SSA (60% of "Northeast_African" + 10% of "Red_Sea" component + SSA)

Your average Moroccan and Algerian Arab is like 13-14% SSA and 24-28% Taforalt. 23-25% SSA if you don't take into account Taforalt.
