In reality it is "prehistoric iberian" that is now in NorthAfrica and it is labeled as "North-African". I say this because even here in NW Spain (we had zero muslims ever) most people get like 3-6% "North-african" and all over Spain most people get 3-5% "northafrican" and there is zero possibility that "millions" or "hundred of thousands" prehistoric northafricans lived as far as NW Spain impacting our gene pool this way. There is also zero material culture of northafrica in any área of Spain.
So, in reality all of this is a matter of labels (as mongols also get ""finnish"" DNA, which in reality is the opposite, finnish have East Asian DNA) and it was Iberians that went south (north-african populations are quite endogamic and this is why they still have an important amount of "iberian" even today).
So, yes, people from the Iberian Peninsula wanted to rule the world also in Prehistoric times (not only going deep in Africa) or repopulating all of Europe (after the glacial age) but also reaching to America (solutreans and Chachapoyas). Then in modern times we ruled the world again with the Spanish Empire. And people like to call us "lazy", funny isn´t? We are exactly the contrary with the topic.
