      You might have Guanche ancestry, perhaps? Southern Portuguese have an unusually high percentage of African ancestry as well. Cristiano Ronaldo maternal Grandmother was from Cape Verde, if I recall correctly, she migrated to Madeira. That would make him 1/16 African, which possibly the reason his son is so dark skinned. The mother is unknown.

      The Libyan peoples, who are the origin of Northwest Africa, originated from the Middle East, emigrated from Palestine today, and they are the descendants of Canaan bin Ham bin Noah. As for the fact that the Libyans are a different race, this is an illusion because all human beings are descendants of Noah, because the flood destroyed all of creation except for Noah and those with him from the creatures in his ark. Which is mentioned in all the heavenly books

      17th century? for sino-tibetan, definitely no. for sinitic, at least for definite provable sources for sinitic at least in the philippines for maritime southeast asia, but i dont bet that as well, since around 1590, the disputed first ever printed book in the philippines is also a christian doctrine book written in full chinese characters by spanish missionaries they made from local sangley chinese living in the philippines by then. they made it planning to minister in china. book is in hokkien or that mixed with classical chinese. i have a pdf copy of it. anyways, centuries before that, there were already chinese celadon pottery trade goods found dated even older to like tang to song dynasty times as well and those are bound to have chinese writing on them as well. tho, i bet continental southeast asia like vietnam, myanmar, thailand, etc. has even more ancient sinitic or sino-tibetan influences far beyond those times. i remember seeing thai has a bunch of loanwords loaned from middle chinese, so that goes far back. vietnam even had almost a millennia being ruled under han dynasty... and myanmar is literally dominated by tibeto-burman groups lol

      @@aghyrasaitwayagher1196 The only accurate kind of DNA testing is haplogroup tests or Y-DNA testing. However many people misundertsand haplogroup testing, they automatically think if someone has haplogroup E-M81 he is a Berber or if he has J1c he is a Arab, but thats untrue. Non Berbers can also have haplogroup E-M81, many Berbers nowdays have haplogroup G and many Arabs have other haplogroups like haplogroup T, this has to do with neolithic culture migrations, many Berbers have haplogroup G because in the neolithic period the early European farmers mixed with our ancestors( the Iberomaurusian and Capsian Culture ), same story for the Arabs, if a Arab doesn't have haplogroup J1c it doesnt mean he is not of Arab origin, it's most likely that he got his haplogroup from the neolithic period.
      By the way mixed race people who aren't pure bredded Berbers can also have haplogroup E-M81 but it still doens't make them Berber because their origin is still mixed and they are still mix race people.
      And!! did you know E-M81 was also present in the Levant, it probaly came from the Mushabian traits that the Natufians took and spread it around the Levant, thats why E-M81 isn't called the Berber marker anymore since it was more widespread than people tought, Syrian Arabs could have also spread some E-M81 into Africa when they invaded North Africa
      Autosomal DNA/Ancestory DNA testing is very inaccurate, have you ever wonderd why DNA companies show different results from each other, also if you gonna upload your results into Gedmatch your results will be come out differnetly, if you have 90% so called north african dna it can be 40% if you upload it on Gedmatch, and it's only a tiny fraction of your DNA

The Tuareg of the Sahel adds another million or so to the total.'' and that's excluding the nearly 2 million berber people living in Europe and around the world.

C'est l'ADN qui le montre donc je pense que l'ancienneté de la langue Amazigh commence au sud du Maroc et non pas à l'EST. Puis, la langue s'est propagé de l'ouest à l'est jusqu'à l'Égypte. D'ailleurs, on trouve pleins de similitudes des mots à l'époque des pharaons de -3000 et le tamazight.
