I am going to do the 37 marker myself. I found I was 97% British Isles which I wasn't surprised about, but it is the 3% North African that has me puzzled.

I can prove Anglo Norman ancestry, triple checked, back to 1070, but where does North Africa come in?

There was a Moorish presence in Spain for about 800 years, and for a while it leaked over the Pyrenees into France until Charles Martel kicked them out.

It is my opinion that North Africa, north of the Sahara was White during the ice age. For example, when the Greeks or who-ever it was, discovered the Canary Islands, they described Nordic type people living there. In fact, the Greeks and then the Romans went there and made slaves of these people...usually sex slaves because light skin/blonde hair was favored.

Anyway, did the White people in North Africa during the Ice Age become the Berbers(?) with the mixing of Blacks from the south?

Also, king Tut has R1b DNA.
