Some authors argue that the ancestors of the touareg people were the GARAMANTES (Germa oasis in actual Lybia).
These autors believe that part of the garamantes went to Southern Sahara in I and II century, mixturing themselves with sudanese population (fulbé, haoussa?).
I would like to do a discussion about it.
Thank you.

The garamantes were Berbers [they wrote Berber and used Berber alphabet], they were mostly "Eurafrikanid" (mediterranean variant) with some Negroid: imazighen.proboards40.com/index.cgi?board=history&action=display&thread=1123104480I think that mtdna extraction will be helpful to determine if they looked like Coastal berbers or more or less the same as modern tuareg. Personally, I think that they looked like coastal berbers and then mixed with "aethiopid"-looking people and negroids, the result is what we have now. |

Yes I agree. We can find tiffinar scriptures near Oubari and Germa (10.000 years b.c). It´s interesting reading the Henri Lothe experience (La descouverte des fraiches du Tassili).

But do you really they were mixed with aethiopids originally?
i think they were mediterranid.

I read that the garamantes were black, and i read that the capsians were the ancestors of the modern tuareg.
one argued that the tuareg are descendants of the tamahou (some tuareg call themselves tamahek). this tamahou were maybe from black to blond.
the c-group of nubia is believed by some scholars to be libyan from the tamahou.
question: were this c-group related to the garamantes ?
