Genetics tells the intold: Arab countries not so Arab, North African DNA present on four continents
And if science and genetics brought down the last hackneyed myths, the falsification of history, the denials of identity. And if science could gather rather than divide, reconcile humans with their past, cut the grit of merchants of jokes, rogue politicians, sneaky populists, and kingdoms who buy, petrodollars, until 'to our right to existence. Denounce impostures and break with silence on hidden truths.
The Project
Genographic project of National Geographic Corporation comes to deliver us (and deliver us a deception) results of a study conducted for several years, on groups of people on four continents. As far as we are concerned, we populations of North Africa, the surprise is of size.
First, the study reveals that several countries, considered Arabs, are more or less. This is the case of Egypt, which the genome of its population with 68%, clearly designates as a North African nation, in the same way as Tunisia, Algeria, Libya or Morocco. By the way, she is only Arab at 17% and even a little bit Jewish at 4%!
Tunisia, for its part, chosen to represent the Maghreb, is only 4% Arab, 88% North African and 5% European.
Lebanon, as one might expect, is one of the most heterogeneous peoples in the world. It contains 14% of the Jewish genome, 11% of the North African genome, and only 44% of the Arab genome!
Other surprises: the North African genome is found on four continents: Africa, Europe, Asia, and ... in Latin America!
Another stunning revelation is the complete absence of the Arab genome in countries where their presence was admitted, for religious reasons, as in Spain, Portugal, France and sub-Saharan Africa (Senegal and Nigeria).
It is in these countries, where Islam has spread, that the presence of the North African genome is the strongest. This is how the Iberians (Spanish and Portuguese) have 9% share of the North African gene and you are well 0% of Arab embarrassment. Sardinia 11%, Senegal with a large share of 12% and Yarubans (Nigeria) 3% of North African DNA,
This is irrefutable proof that the propagation of the Moslem religion was done exclusively through the North Africans who settled there later.
A last revelation is the surprising presence of North African genome on the American continent and in particular that of the South. This supports the theory that the Berbers could have reached the continent of the Americas well before the European colonists in the 15th century, but also the presence of Berber crews in the expedition of Christopher Colombe, and conquistadors from the Islands Canaris. Thus, we find 5% of North African DNA among Argentines, and 6% among Colombians. (That's why they know how to play football, say Algerians).
DNA from North Africa is also found in Bermuda, Mexicans, Peruvians 3%, Mexican Americans 4%, Puerto Rico 3%, Greece 3%, Iran 4%, Tuscan (Italy) ) and in France (2%), Kenya and Ethiopia with 4%. This discovery gives a corner to the followers of "khalit" who teach our children that Algerians are 80% Arab and 20% "khalit", Kabyles, Chaouis and Imuchagh.
