West med looking north africans

[Nassbean]

Quiet common for coastal africans to have south european ancestry(different types of south euro ancestry, depending on which south euro country they border)

it's not common at all what these commercial test detect as "south europe" is actually shared ancestry such as EEF and bronze age steppe admixture

Yeh, from south european alike people's. Most of your EEF doesnt comes from south europe, but all of your steppe comes from south europe(shared bronze age admix).

Our EEF actually comes from the iberian peninsula but all these "euro" components came in time when south europeans as we know them today didn't even exist yet (except sardinians). So it's wrong to believe your regular berber has recent spanish or italian ancestry, berbers are a much more older population compared to south europeans who are the result of recent population movements

Many of those that you posted would pass in Iberia(being in the North or in the South), but some of them still show features that are more typical in North Africa.

I agree, for example this person looks very Basque and very Riffian at the same time (at least to me).

And it makes sense since shared ancestry is big (I don't mean that Iberians are very NA or that North West Africans are very European, simply that a large part of the groups that populated those areas are the same peple. Early european farmers, steppe people, iberomaurusian people...)

Yeh, he does look pretty north african. Slightly euro shifted(thought he was a berber, who sort of look more "south euro")

Cantabria, close to the Basque country but he is not basque. He would be like an Asturian or a person of Castile and Leon
