Do North Africans have any overlap with Europeans?

Most fit in spain and portugal.

Hey dude, very good weed, eh?

Spanish IMO.

The only reason some can have similar looks is that they received relatively recent European admixture from the Iberian peninsula. Also the environment would produce similar types if they'd not mix too much with more inland populations of the Maghreb.

This is a typical, unmistakable native North African look and there is nowhere in Europe that would even come close to fitting it.

Only the europeans mixed with north africans

Here is a list of known footballers. 16 players including 8 South Europeans and 8 North Africans (players are Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Greek, Moroccan, Algerian, Tunisian and Egyptian).

I think north africans tend have softer looks as a whole but some people look similar.

North africans would naturally look closer to the very southernmost regions of europe. Besides historically they would have been some intermixing. But I think Egyptians and Moroccans as a whole look different from say Algerians, Tunisians, and Libyans. From what I've seen Egyptians tend to have darker features.

I've always wondered why some berbers look whiter than the average north africans. From Egyptian paintings, looks like they have always been white (ancient libyan)

Portugal and Spain.
Some Moroccans look Iberian in my view

Some look a bit exotic but many look standard Med or Berid and could pass best in Italy, Iberia and Southern France (SW Europe).

Fregel et al 2018 found evidence of gene flow between Neolithic Iberia and North Africa. North Africans today retain considerable ancestry from these neolithic migrations. So this explains the mediterranean types in the region.
