May 1997 A report on the plight of the nomadic Tuareg people of the Sahara.
For centuries the deserts of northern Mali have sustained the Tuareg; herdsmen known as the 'blue people' of the Sahara. But, in the 1990s the combination of droughts and civil war forced most to abandon their herds and flee to refugee camps in Mauritania. Now Moussa Ag Mohammed is returning to his land; but the loss of his herds, and the remorseless advance of the desert, means his ancient lifestyle is doomed. Mohammet Ali, whose lineage can be traced back twelve hundred years, digs with pitiful tools to maintain an ever sinking well against the dusty backdrop of the desert plains. He refused to fight or flee during the war, sticking by his philosophy 'If it is hot where you are, it's even hotter somewhere else'. Orphaned Faty and her brother tend their precious market garden on a patch of sand outside the village; every last drop of water must be pumped by hand. The Tuareg are still pessimistic that their way of life will die out as their children migrate to the towns for an 'easier' lifestyle

"E-M81 is restricted to northern Africa, E-M34 is common only in eastern Africa, and E-M35* is shared by eastern and southern Africans (Cruciani et al. 2002)" But if you want to look far back in time .. then yes all DNA is related .... it all depends how far back you want to go.
then arabs and jews and all the other white looking people out there arent related to europeans then.........white is only european race. if you want to look at it that way...
Sudan Carib A race isn't indicated just by looking at someone's skin colour! and the same goes for Whites or blacks. A scandinavian isn't a persian, berber or a jew. a lot of mongoid people in Siberia have white skin but retain their mongoloid characteristics. Caucasian is a scientific term often describing people who have a certain physical appearance and cranial/ body proportions... they include the horn of africa (somalians, ethiopians who share the same features. so colour isn't race.
srry i was talking to the racist out there but i knew that negroid, mongoloid and caucasiod is a bone stucture. but how is the arabs and the jews related to europeans? arent they thier own race?
For the Arabs it's a different story. there are arab speaking people who have adopted the Arabic languge after they became muslims and these are the majority of the so called Arab world. and they are various races and not Arabs. But there are the Ethnic Arabs of the Arabian desert who are ARABS. Jews are more a religious group than a race, there are African Jews, berber, European jews etc. The middle east contributed to human migrations into Europe but that's not enough to call them Europeans.
So to put it simply Arabs both ethnic or not aren't Europeans but for Jews it's a complicated story because many Jews are Ethnic European/Russian (Ashkenazi) and some Sephardic originating from Spain and many of those have Berber ancestry. Human migrations into Europe came in various stages from east to west from Asia (Siberia), Indo-Aryans and of course the middle-east. so they too are a melting pot of races but over time they became the Europe we know today. I hope I answered your question
