Sure its interesting to read about it, but I'm living in 2020 right? Rome is one of my favorite history subjects.

Here is the face reconstruction of Iberomaurusians:

Looks like Eurasian mix indeed...

Does not look 1/3 SSA.

You liked my post without reading it, huh?
The interesting thing is that Egyptians have almost non-existing levels of Steppe, compared to the rest of North African averages (not counting Berbers since those are nomadic minorities anyway).

Is NA-admixture a mix of euroasian and SSA? Which admix group is the next relative to NA-admixture? Med? Caucasus? Red sea/SW-Asia?

They aren't 20% SSA on average though, more like 10%. Gedmatch is simply an unreliable fossil of a tool and shouldn't be taken seriously.

There have found two Iberomaurusian(ancestors of today's North Africans) graves and one of them is full Eurasian and other has 1/3 SSA mtdna. Also it's mix of SW Asian & Mediterranean, I guess.

North Africans have very diverse looks but they generally look Caucasoid with curly hair and a bit dark skin. But there are European looking North Africans too. For example; this Moroccan singer looks very European and too atypical for Moroccan; https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...=1#post6796753

Also could you classify & passify him?
