Fulani have Iberian ancestry

[Brás Garcia de Mascarenhas]

I wasn't expecting ancient North Africans to have gone so far south. Neither was I expecting to see Fulani being modeled as nearly 50% Tarofalt, that's actually significant. Pretty interesting.

As a curiosity, the Portuguese have wandered around Fulani territories for centuries. Cities like Ziguinchor in Senegal still have sizable minorities (nearly 30,000 individuals) who are Roman Catholic and speak a Portuguese-based creole.

I kinda relate to that Fulani guy, because of what I'm about to show you.




How can you explain a mixed Latin American dude (Iberian/ SSa) having a bit of South Central Asian dna (Pamirian) ???

They speak a similar creole to that of Guinea-Bissau. Actually, several regions in the south of Senegal (known as Casamansa) used to be incorporated in our former colony of Guinea-Bissau. In that region, Portuguese language is taught in high school to students. Ziguinchor derives from Portuguese cheguei e choram, "I came and they cry".

Fulani form Gambia. Indeed in K36 Iberia is visible. Of course it is via Berber. They have Iberian in K36 in some amount everytime.

Yes, it is likely via Berber migrations. The Portuguese legacy in the region is mostly cultural, not genetic.

Yes. Real Portugese influx would also add some North Atlantic / West-Med/ Italian or other Euro component, not only Iberian.
