Kabyles are pure Amazigh! The difference is Berbers on the Mediterranean Coast are lighter as that region has a similar latitude, climate, and UV exposure to Southern Europe being Mediterranean. Berbers in the Sahara on the other hand are more wheat colored and brown because of the harsher conditions.

All these tribes/confederations are a mix of Iberomaurusian and Anatolian Farmer components, with of course some additional minor geneflow from other groups depending on region, making them somewhat heterogenous.

In the beginning, Kabyle region was in Numidia, and after the borders of Numidia changed, kabylie became in the territory of Mauritania (Algeria - Morocco)and they have an old name, I don't remember it well, I think quintigani or something like that

[ElmasoTiflet]

not to forget that the Gran Canaria islands, which are also Berber before they were occupied by Spain 500 years ago, DNA samples have been taken from the indigenous people of Gran Canaria and it turns out that they have the same DNA as the Berbers who live in the rif the mountains of North Africa.

The name of the Kabyle region in the 3rd century AD is quinquegentiani, when they revolted against the Romans ، There are historians and researchers who say that many of the prisoners in this revolution were deported and exiled to the Canary Islands, and many of the Guanches come from the Kabylie region .
The Romans called the Kabylie Mountains (Mons Ferratus)

That is because they actually are Europeans.

Amazigh/berber Descended from Stone Age tribes of North Africa, accounts of the Imazighen is also the same as Berbers, were first mentioned in Ancient Egyptian writings. From about 2000 BCE, Berber languages spread westward from the Nile Valley across the northern Sahara into the Maghreb. A series of Berber peoples such as the Mauri, Masaesyli, Massyli, Musulamii, Gaetuli, and Garamantes gave rise to Berber kingdoms, such as Numidia and Mauretania. Other kingdoms appeared in late antiquity, such as Altava, Aurès, Ouarsenis, and Hodna. Berber kingdoms were eventually suppressed by the Arab conquests of the 7th and 8th centuries

There is a group of people that live in Morroco who also look very European. Many of them have light skin and eyes. And many of them have the RH negative blood type

The first migration was when the Phoenicians went and founded the cities of Carthage, Tripoli, and others. For those who do not know, the Phoenicians are Semites, cousins ​​of the Arabs and Jews.

While the Phoenicians were there, some Greeks merged with them in North Africa, then the Romans who occupied North Africa.

Then came the first migration of the Arabs in the conquests, and they merged with their cousins, the Phoenicians, (those who call themselves Amazighs) who in reality, thousands of years ago, were called the Phoenicians.

Then came the second migration of the Arabs, due to famine in the Arabian Peninsula.
This was followed by the migration of Spanish and Portuguese Muslims fleeing the Inquisition. In addition, some Turks arrived in North Africa.

So it can be said that North Africa consists of 50% Arabs, 30% Phoenicians (Amazighs), and the remaining 20% ​​are Turks, Spaniards, Portuguese, Greeks, and Romans.

[milosh.rushman]

[Ashmo]

Even ancient Egyptian art depicts North Africans as having fair features.

[snxttynozedoc]

This is what they’ll say about South Africans in a few centuries

[nikkid]

It’s clear that historically Africa wasn’t only black. Indeed subsaharan Africa was once under glaciers.

[OliviaGrace-dq]

north africans dont look european lets not lie they are very brown, unless they are mixed with european

[edwardsdeacon]

They are European not African. They just happen to be in Africa. They are neither native or ethnic Africans.

My grandparents were Kabyles, Imazighen-Berbers from Algeria, and they were white, blond and blue-eyed

Our DNA test links us to Italy (Tuscany). Why is that? Because for 500 years or more, the Romans colonized Algeria, founded many towns and mixed with the Imazighen-Berbers (Ibn Khaldun talks about this in his books).

Ironically, Some Sicilians also have a Berber DNA, as they are descendants of Berber colonists who settled in Sicily in the Middle Ages and before.
