African admixture in Southern Europeans

[Insuperable]

My mistake. Diagonal lines mean that there is no data from these countries.

It is always blacks at this Spanish etc people are not white because they are part Africa.A while back this black guy on youtube even started these videos stating that South European are non white and that they were black.
So what if some have minimal African dna does this mean that they should love blacks and call them "brotha" or something.What is the whole point of this post?Majority of people already know this but the only ones who seem to give a damn about this minimal African admixture are blacks.

Southern Europeans have inherited 1%–3% African ancestry with an average mixture date of around 55 generations ago, consistent with North African gene flow at the end of the Roman Empire and subsequent Arab migrations.

Who gives a shit 1-3% is basically nothing.

We are all mixed with Asian and African DNA but a 1-2% not is a nightmare, is acceptable.

It's not just that.It is showed only 1-2% because we don't have tools to measure deep ancestry admixture.When we will have.African will be even greater in Southern Europeans.

When someone writes something like this:

It gives a slight hint, that someone wants to provoke.

The Bass is not a provocateur.If EastAfricans are admixed and all the time Euros point about that then why Southern Europeans are so touchy about their admixture?

[StonyArabia]

Southern Europeans, do have some SSA influence, they also have higher affinity to North Africa and SSA Africa, which reflects ancient and recent admixture. Denying this is foolish.

[The Alchemist]

This is a real tragedy.

As recent and substantial as your European ancestry Bass?

How European are you on 23andme?

Mr.Bass has noticed that exotic Southern Europeans tend to lean toward North Africa not Middle East.Mr.Bass's observation fits the genetic studies.

Nope, I gravitate towards Near Easterners. As confirmed by Mr McDonald.

South Europeans tend more to Africa than do North Europeans, and North Europeans tend more to East Asia than do South Europeans.

Is this news?

This doesn't necessarily mean that Southern, or Northern Europeans aren't 'pure'
It's just basically ancient genes reflected, not recent. There are also Europeans who have have ancient West and south west Asian ancestry. For instance my African, Native is recent, but then my South west Asian might not be that recent.

Most Europeans are the result of Neolthic/Indo-European farmers and pastoralists.

Many people make the mistake that they connect the Neolthic farmers with the West Asian components, yet they fail to see that most Neolthic samples in Europe are mostly (Eastern) Mediterranean, like Ötzi. The Mediterranean component originated most probably in the Mesopotamian-Levant area and spread into Europe. The West Asian component for most is more "recent" (probably Bronze age immigrants) Most of it could have come with Indo-Europeans and or isolated Groups like (Etruscans, Minoans etc. ).

HG E-V13 is not of African origin is of european origin and was taken from Europe to Africa and not reverse.
You do not know there are some african populations with very high percentage of R1B?
Does that means R1B came from Africa to Europe,or that is was brought from Europe to Africa?
I think it means it was brought from Europe to Africa.

[Demhat]

Southern Europeans tend to lean to North Africa or Middle East you say?

Whoever made this map has not much of an idea of Western Asia. This map is as simplistic as it could be. Western Iran has much more of R1a1a* R1b and G as it has any J1. Yet no sign of it.

Northern Iraq has at maximum some 10-12% J1 vs 15-20% R1b*, 10-15% R1a1a*. yet no sign of it.

Ridiculous map.
