Again another one, they are interesting to me because they have like 84 % North West African genentic component (+ around 10 % SSA) which is supposed to be Europid/Caucasoid, so I wanted to learn how "pure" NW African looks like without other influences.
This fella might look to some more Negrid at first glance but actually no, and I think he has these archaic negrimorph Cromagnoid traits that add to such an impression, again it looks to me that swarthy slightly alpinised Cromagnon is strongest. I guess ancient North Africans had their own unique types, often swarthier and with some adaptive traits.

Berberid/Cromagnoid + Africoid.

An interesting mix though.

He almost looks like a triracial Puerto Rican.

Well he obviously doesn't look Indianid:D, I guess I'd need Agrippa to tell me exactly how much is this man Europid, how much else. I think swarthiness adds to greater SSA impression, yet while it may be part SSA derived it may also be adaptive. His hair is short, however looking at eyebrows their growth pattern and form is clearly Europid, so it might be assumed same for the hair. The main "suspicious" element is nose, nose is broader but at the same time longer, with more robust bridge and differently formed. Arhaic Cromagnoids do have negrimorph noses sometimes.

Compare with Negrid

He is supposed to be Mozabite, and some other Mozabites I saw had obvious Negrid, so there has to be a number of people among them who do look with minor SSA component, as again per some genetic results I saw they are like 84 % NW African, 10-12 % SSA, rest being minor.

Looks like another slightly Alpinized Berberid type. There are a lot of variations in types in North Africa, especially due to the isolation among some of the tribes. This great deal of racial isolation among different has led to rather exotic phenotypes emerging, which we have no standard or normative definition to apply for.
