DNA studies show that we have a standard
European mtDNA & 70% of the paternal lineage is East African (similar to Somalians, Lebanese, Greeks & Egyptians)
The original Berbers were
Europids, that were replaced by big waves of East African colonists, the
Arabid genetic contribution is minor ~10% some of it Phoenician, Hebrew, Yemenite & Bedouin
Our "Arab" compatriots are also closer to us than to
Arabid populations although they are Semitic speaking
