You're mixing and matching genetics with anthropological terms, there are no Negroid or Caucasoid genes. I simply stated that North Africans are genetically closer to East Africans than to Afghans, which you couldn't back up. Speaking of miss-matching, you did that with Joel Irish's studies on dental traits when the studies you referred to had different samples, plus you used one dental study to prove Egyptians were not Negroids and ignored cranimetric and limb ratio evidence. Don't confuse paternal markers with Autosomal DNA. You keep doing that. Why? Look, I can post a autosomal plot that still proves my point so it doesn't matter.

Thread on Skadi about North Africans: forum.skadi.net/showthread.php?t=43269Most French anthropologists used European terms to describe pure Berbers, ranging from classic Mediterranid, over Alpine (~Alpinised Berberids) and Nordique (local depigmented A-M and real Nordid admixture from Europeans) to Atlantomediterranid (for NA ~Eurafrikanid is better, because of genetical and morphological differences) - and as a local variant, Mechta-Afalou type (Berberid). Basically the same was said for Guanches. Negroid elements were present, but mainly as admixture or individuals North of a certain line. Asselar is one of the few, rather Protonegroid, skulls in early times. The Iberomaurisiens represent in their majority variants similar to those humans of Cro-Magnon from the Upper Palaeolithicum in Europe. They resemble the German finding form Oberkassel (-typical Cromagnid-) too. (D. Ferembach, rough translation) Important findings: Mechta el-Arbi, Afalou-bou-Rhummel, Taforalt.
