are berbers meds???

[grecoroman]

Coastal Moroccan Berbers are divided into 3 regions like you can see in this picture below:




Here is a G25 run of the average on these 3 regions:



'Meds' is a term used for South Europeans, and South Europeans are descends of Steppe Pastoralists and have another genetic input, however South Europeans share altogether with North African Berbers a bunch of Early European Farmer component.

+1, good explanation.

But What about kabyles, chaouis, tuaregs, soussis, guanches???

Guanches are almost similair to modern day coastal Moroccans when we compare their autosomal DNA on G25:



Soussis lack some components that Guanches and coastal Moroccans have. Touargs are a mix of Sub Saharan Africans and Berbers, paternal haplogroup wise they are majority E-M81 which means Berber men married Sub Saharan women and made offspring with them. Chaouis are not homogeneous, some have heavy Arab autosomalic admixture. Kabyles tend to have some extra admixture because of Otttomans.

I only found this one .

[Adamm]

Jebalan Moroccans yes and can be easily explained by the fact that they have received the biggest morisco refugee wave.

[Rocinante]

If they are not so heavely mixed with negro, i think they would pass.

Do you know any Moroccan samples with R1b? (non V-88)

Yeah, 2 samples of that chart has Moroccans with R1B:

[mitalit]

Yes
