European looking North Africans

[Hamilcar]

What about Zidane? Before I learned he's of Algerian descent I thought he's just a white, native Frenchman

no he doesn't look european at all to me (I know well french people)

Muslim iberians expelled to North Africa in the Middle Age I guess.

not necessarily

some of them look lighter than the average iberian btw

You forgot Saad Lamjarred (a famous Moroccan pop singer). He looks no different than an average Spaniard or French to me, even too atypical for a Moroccan. Possibly Morisco ancestors (I was too shocked when my Algerian friend told me he's Moroccan. I was like "no way!")



even the 3/4 Uzbek + 1/4 Moroccan singer based in Russia "Gafur Isakhanov" looks more Moroccan(even Morth African) than Saad

So what is your explanation about those people in Morocco?

No vandals/alans left no traces and mozarabic people never settled in North Africa. Most of the people I posted have pseudo european look probably induce by low natufian and ssa, and significant amount of EEF and steppe. Moreover a minority of them can have morisco ancestors which can inflate their EEF, steppe and WHG

Many Mozarabs were sent to North Africa in the Almoravid times. Also many kidnapped Europeans were sent there.
Moriscos hands down overall when these phenotypes come.

In any case what a wannabe thread

no mozarabs were sent to North Africa and there is no wannabe threads I made many other similar threads like this one : https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...north-africans

Of course they were sent, it is very well documented.

Yes, it is wannabe. You get crazy to make that your people are as European as possible, instead be proud of looking only North Afican.

hahah post this well documented fact then, it shouldn't be too difficult

No it's not or either way I would have said these are normal/common north africans and wouldn't have specified "european looking"
