What is the negroid admixture in North African groups?

[TheForeigner]

What is the negroid admixture in North African groups? I mean not just national groups, but also individual tribes like the Kabyles or Rifians.

[randomguy1235]

Mostly ancient East African, some minor, more recent West African. Ranges from 16-25% SSA on average, but some more isolated pops. can have ~10%

200% nigga

What about tribes like Riff Chaoui and Kabyles. They tend to often look like Europeans and generally look fully Caucasoid. How much SSA do they have? There are also many Arab speakers who look European or fully Caucasoid. There are the descendants of the Moriscos and other Spanish and Portuguese Muslims living there.

would like to know too

[Smeagol]

It's hard to say because they mostly test visibly admixed groups like Mozabites.

A 2017 study showed that North African samples had a total of 17 haplogroups (H1, H14, H1v, HV0, J2, K1a, L2, L3, M1, R0, T1, T2, U3, U5b, U6a, V, W1). Out of these mtDNA haplogroups, L2 and L3 are considerd to be sub-Saharan African. The frequency of L3b reaches 100% in Western Sahara, while the frequencies of L2 range from 8.3% in Algeria to 50% in Libya. On average, 19% of the North African individuals belong to sub-Saharan African lineages.

Figure 1. Haplogroup distribution in each North African region. (A) Colour panel of the haplogroups represented in (B) and the haplogroups of the 26 North African sequences. Relative frequencies are shown in parentheses. (B) Map of North African haplogroup frequencies in each country from the literature (Cherni et al., 2005 Cherni L, Loueslati BY, Pereira L, Ennafaa H, Amorim A, El Gaaied ABA. 2005. Female gene pools of berber and Arab neighboring communities in central Tunisia: microstructure of mtDNA variation in North Africa. Hum Biol 77:61–70.

To further describe the North African mtDNA lineages found in our analysis, haplogroups were classified in three general categories according to their geographical origin, as suggested by Coudray et al. (2009): Eurasian (H, HV, R0, J, T, U and W), south-Saharan (L0, L1, L2 and L3) and North African lineages (U6 and M1). The results show that 73% of the samples carry Eurasian haplogroups, 19% of the individuals belong to south-Saharan lineages, and 8% of mitochondrial haplogroups have an autochthonous North African lineage (Table 1).

You want to know the tribes they have ssa from? part of their ssa dna isnt that recent, and can be from the surrounding groups, and/or east africans. It would be very hard to say the individual tribes.
