I have read that there is a certain abundance of haplogroup i (i2?, similar to the Balkans?) and G (G2a? Otzi man? iceman?)

@deep_thoughts have you ever been to spain?

This is possible since, even, the abundance of North African genetics, haplogroup E3b2, follows a strip that runs from north to south along the border between Spain and Portugal. Something that is not usually taken into account and that I think was very important is that the Portuguese were extremely slavers, extremely fond of capturing and owning slaves, and it is known that in what is now the Sahara coast as well as in the Canary Islands they captured a huge number of slaves "not black" but "Berbers", who were taken and sold in Portugal. Later, when slavery ended, they spread to the area of Spain next to Portugal. Something interesting is that the North Africans or Berbers had (and still have) a language called "Tamazigh", unrelated to Arabic, and it is interesting that in Spain there are no toponyms made with words from the Berber language (which may indicate that there were not as many Berbers as is believed, or that they came from such an ancient time that their language was lost. Neither do the languages of Spain, such as Spanish or Castilian and others, have words derived from the Berber language, which perhaps indicates a very ancient presence in Spain, in the Neolithic perhaps

That same thing may explain the origin of the word "moreno" (having brown hair), since "moreno" means "similar to Moor": before the Muslim invasion "moreno" hair was possibly rare so it did not have a specific name, it is after the invasion when people started saying "that person is "moreno" (=similar to Moor) (on the Mediterranean coast and southern Spain there was anyway a significant arrival of Phoenicians, Greeks, Jews and other peoples from the Near East during the Roman and Byzantine empires for about 800 years)

My aunt Delfina, who was Spanish woman, had blonde hair and blue eyes, and almost all the Spanish women I have known who are called Delfina have blue eyes and blonde hair.

For about 700 years, all of North Africa was part of the Roman Empire and its successor, the Byzantine Empire (all of North Africa is full of Roman ruins), during which there was free movement of population between southern Europe and North Africa and vice versa. The Berbers may have moved to Iberia during the Roman Empire, for example as mercenaries in the Roman army to protect the large gold mines that were in that area of Galicia, or even as slaves for those gold mines: the "abundance" of North African genetics coincides with the presence of ancient Roman gold mines. They are also people who could have come from Portugal (where North African genetics are very abundant). On the one hand, in Portugal there was no "expulsion of Moriscos" while in Spain thousands of Moriscos were expelled around 1610 but at the same time in Portugal they were very fond of capturing slaves in what is now the Atlantic coast of Morocco and also indigenous people from the Canary Islands, who were brought to Portugal to work as slaves.

It is curious the eagerness to proclaim that the Galicians (in part) are close to the Maghrebians or North Africans... and also the Portuguese... but the genetic relationship between Galicians and Scandinavians is not mentioned absolutely . It is known that in what is now Galicia and in the northern part of Portugal the "barbarians" called Suevi settled, there was a "Suevian kingdom" in Galicia and northern Portugal, which was invaded by the Visigoth kingdom. As a reminder of that invasion by "Suevi" it happens that in Galicia and in the northern part of Portugal it is the only place in the Iberian peninsula where there is a certain proportion of Scandinavian generic (haplogroup I1). I have never been in those places but people who travel a lot (truck drivers etc) have told me that where there are more people with blond hair from Spain is in the north of Portugal and in Galicia. Something interesting is that the Portuguese in the Middle Ages were extremely fond of capturing slaves on the coast of Morocco and the Sahara and also a large number of indigenous people from the Canary Islands to take them as slaves to Portugal.

Possibly it is simply camouflage to avoid being seen in the Ice Age tundra steppe, no ultraviolet

North of the Rhine and Danube rivers is the Nordic race, generally larger, with golden hair, blue or grey eyes; south of the Rhine and Danube rivers is the Mediterranean race, generally smaller, with dark hair and brown eyes. Around the year 500 AD the invasion of southern Europe by Nordic barbarians took place, when some people of Nordic race settled in southern Europe south of the Rhine and Danube rivers, but they were always a minority. In some mountainous areas lives the Alpine race, with dark hair and brown eyes but larger: Spaniards, Italians, Greeks and Turks are practically the same (they are of Mediterranean race with a small Nordic race component. The DNA of the Spanish is divided into three groups: in the northern and central part the haplogroup R1b is very abundant (which is characteristic of the indigenous people of the Atlantic coast of Europe); on the Mediterranean coast of Spain there is a significant proportion of the haplogroup J1 and J2, typical of the Middle East, Phoenicians, Syrians (semites). In Portugal and nearby parts of Spain the haplogroup E3B2 is abundant, characteristic of North Africa (Maghreb) (see "genetic maps of Europe").

Blonde hair and blue or grey eyes were an adaptation to the tundra-steppe of the Ice Age, some 30,000 years ago (very possibly an inheritance from the Neanderthals after interbreeding with them, that is, those who suffered this adaptation were the Neanderthals, which was inherited by the mestizos resulting from their mixture with the Cro-Magnons who lived in the tundra steppe 30,000 years ago).
2
Perhaps the greyish blue eyes and yellowish white hair are an inheritance from Neanderthals.
2
Spaniards are absolutely all white (of the Mediterranean variety): Spaniards are absolutely the same as Italians, Greeks and Turks. If you have had intercourse with a non-white Spaniard, or if you have been sodomized by a non-white Spaniard, your sexual partner, supposedly Spaniard, was actually a Latin American (mestizo or mulatto or a mixture of non-European races) who are very fond of saying of themselves that they are Spaniards.
1
These colours are the result of an adaptation to the European tundra during the Ice Age, between 40,000 and 10,000 years before now, possibly inherited from Homo (and Mulier) Neanderthalensis.

In the Castilian language (known as Spanish) and in the remaining languages spoken in Spain there are no words derived from the language spoken in North Africa in the Middle Ages, which was not Arabic but a very different language called "Tamazigh" (still widely spoken in Morocco and Algeria). There are also no place names in Spain made with words from the Berber or Tamazigh language. This confirms that the true Muslim conquerors of Spain were not North Africans but Syrians from the Damascus area (from the Caliphate of Damascus). There is historical data that the Syrians hired some North Africans as auxiliaries but in the year 740 the so-called "Berber rebellion" against the Arabs took place, in which the Berber soldiers who were in Spain killed their Syrian and Arab chiefs and attacked the Syrians who had stayed in the area of Cordoba (Andalusia) but were defeated by the Syrians and most of the Berbers were killed and others fled to Morocco. The relative abundance of Berber genetics in Portugal and nearby Spain may have a very different origin from that of Muslims: perhaps they passed through the Roman Empire as mercenary soldiers or many are descendants of slaves that the Portuguese captured on the coast of the Sahara and in the Canary Islands (the Portuguese captured thousands of slaves).

@joseveintegenario-nisu1928 The Spanish language does not have words that are used to make sentences, such as verbs, auxiliary verbs (to have, to be), adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions derived from the Arabic language. The Spanish language only has "Arabic names" for objects, substances and professions that were unknown in Europe during the last period of the Roman Empire. In North Africa at that time, Arabic was not spoken, but another very different language, unrelated to Arabic, called the "Berber language" or "Tamazigh" (which is still widely spoken in Morocco and Algeria). In the Spanish language there is not a single word taken from the "Tamazigh" language or "Berber" language of Morocco and Algeria: There are also no toponyms made with words from the Berber or Tamazigh language of Morocco and Algeria. The "Muslims" who conquered Spain were not Moroccan or Algerian but were "Syrians", from what is now Syria, they were Syrians from the Caliphate of Damascus, who a few years earlier had conquered what is now Algeria and Morocco.

@joseveintegenario-nisu1928 The Basques (and the Castilians) have almost all the set of genes called "haplogroup R1b" (which is more abundant on the Atlantic coast of Europe), the Haplogroup R1b is not found in the Guanches, Moroccans or Egyptians, Berber, etc.

Blue-gray eyes are an adaptation to life in the tundra and to the cold. It was possibly originated in Neanderthals and transferred from Neanderthals to Sapiens in early genetic mixing that occurred with Neanderthals about 40,000 years ago (at that time Sapiens still had chocolate-colored skin).
1
Blue or grey eyes (iris) are typical of white people adapted to life in the Arctic tundra that existed until about 10,000 years ago in Europe: until about 10,000 years ago the northern half of Europe was covered by a thick layer of ice similar to that which now covers Greenland and to the south of it for about 500 km there was a tundra where snow abounded but also many herbivorous mammals adapted to graze on the tundra, without forests. For some reason the humans who lived in that tundra modified the color of their eyes and hair, possibly to camouflage themselves or for another reason (blue eyes are common in animals that live in the tundra. In Europe the last place there was tundra was around the Baltic Sea)

@nasro97 Vandals barbarians

@Mariajbh2 The reality is that people with blue or grey eyes were originally around the Baltic Sea, a land that was a forest-free tundra at the end of the Ice Age. For some reason, possibly because it was useful for camouflage, humans living in that European tundra mutated to grey or blue eyes (as did other tundra animals such as musk oxen). Obviously when the great migrations of the Germanic barbarians occurred around 300 AD, many people with those eyes moved south.

There is a lot of confusion about "flamenco" (the characteristic folklore of the Spaniards "that shows its Arab origin"). In reality, "flamenco" is an invention of an Italian called Silverio Franconetti, around 1860, as a show for a café-theater that he owned in Seville (which he titled "Gypsy dances performed by the "flamencos" (= Flemings) , which he designed by mixing the dance of the Uruguayan cowboys (or "gauchos") called "malambo" consisting of a lot of tap dancing with some typical songs of some clans of "gypsy blacksmiths" (nicknamed "the flamencos" the Flemings ) called "canticos de fragua" ( forge songs ) that these gypsies sang when they worked in the forge. Before 1850 "flamenco" did not exist.
1
For about 800 years (since the conquest of Carthage by Rome) all of North Africa and the entire Near East was part of the Roman and Byzantine Empire, and in a friendly way, so there was a great movement of populations between the south of "all Europe" and North Africa and the Near East AND VICE VERSA, with the consequent mixing of GENETICS of their populations (all of North Africa and the entire Near East is full of Roman ruins).
1
@Mariajbh2 You are the one who does not know about Flamenco (search on the Internet (in Spanish) "libro Flamenco llego a Cordoba Silverio Franconetti". The flamenco dance was a mixture made by the Italian Silverio Franconetti, around 1860 of the "malambo" of the cowboys or gauchos of Uruguay, plus the singing was taken from the "cantares de fragua" ( forge songs ) of a "clan" of gypsy blacksmiths, who had arrived in Moron de la Frontera (Seville) from "Flandes" (= Flander)".
1
Flamenco was an invention of the Italian Silverio Franconetti, circa 1860 (a mixture of "blacksmith songs" from a clan of gypsy blacksmiths who lived in Moron (Seville) with the dance called "malambo" (see on YouTube) of Uruguayan cowboys )(=gauchos). Falconetti spent many years in Uruguay and then opened a café-theater in Seville).
1
false (the pre-Muslim population of Spain were exactly as the current Basques and the current Gascons or Aquitanians (the Basques and the Aquitanian Gascons do not have blue eyes, "merluzo !"). Even genetically, the most abundant set of genes or "haplogroup" among the Spaniards, especially among those from central Spain (the territory that was the kingdom of Castile) is the same as that of the Basques and Aquitanian Gascons: it is the haplogroup R1b-df27
1
One hypothesis is that blond hair (which in primitive humans would have a camouflage mission in a snowy environment) is an inheritance from an ancient mixture of Homo sapiens with Homo or Mulier neanderthal: the Neanderthal would have blond hair and blue or light eyes.

I have read that people who eat a lot of goat meat tend to play bagpipes, perhaps because bagpipes were made from goat skin and the word "gaita" ) (bagpipe i Spanish) itself derives from the name of the goat in certain Indo-European languages.

The historical data and evidence tell something very different: the historical record is that Spain was conquered by "Syrians" from the Caliphate of Damascus plus a very few Arabs from Arabia in 711, who about ten years earlier had conquered the Maghreb or North Africa (Morocco and Algeria). It is also said that the Syrians hired a small army of Berbers as mercenaries (about 5,000) but that the Berbers from North Africa and also the Berbers who had entered Spain mutinied against the Syrians and Arabs in 740 ("the Berber revolt"), and that in Spain they murdered their "Syrian and Arab" chiefs who were in the northwestern part of Spain and attacked the Syrians who had remained in Andalusia, but that the Syrians defeated the Berbers and killed a large part of them and the remaining Berbers fled to North Africa. The solid proof that there were very few Berbers in Spain is that the Berbers at that time (and currently) did not speak the Arabic language but a language called "Tamazigh" (very different from Arabic) and had their own writing (very different from Arabic writing) and that IN SPAIN THERE IS NOT A SINGLE PLACE NAME OR TOPONYM MADE WITH WORDS OF THE BERBER LANGUAGE, NOR A SIGN WRITTEN WITH LETTERS OF THE BERBER ALPHABET, AND NOR IN THE LANGUAGES SPOKEN IN SPAIN ( Castilian or Spanish and several others), there is not a single word derived from the Berber language (there are toponyms derived from the Arabic language and words derived from the Arabic language but not a single one from the Berber language) The origin of a greater number of Berber genetics in the northwest and west of Spain is believed to derive from the fact that when the Christian reconquest took place many Moors fled from what is now Spain to Portugal, also because in Portugal there was no "expulsion of the Moriscos ( moorishs) " (which instead occurred in Spain around 1610) and because in Portugal they were very fond of capturing "slaves" in what is now the coast of the Sahara and the Canary Islands (then inhabited by people of Berber origin), who are the ones who contributed a lot of Berber genetics to Portugal, from where they went to Galicia and the area od Spain near Portugal. In contrast, in Spain, the typical genetics of the Near East ( haplogroups J1 and J2) are relatively abundant on the Mediterranean coast, arriving in the form of Phoenicians, Jews, Syrians and Arabs from the Damascus and Bagdag area.

North Africa and the Near East (remember the Emperor Heligabalus), what is now Syria, Judea, Palestine etc were part of the Roman-Byzantine Empire for about 700 years (during which time North Africans and Near Easterners were not seen as enemies and they moved freely throughout the Empire). This caused a large population from North Africa and the Near East to spread throughout the European area of the Roman Empire (not just Spain!) It is possible that a significant part of the Muslim population of Spain was expelled or fled to North Africa (and France!) during the brutal Christian reconquest, when Muslims who renounced their religion were almost non-existent, preferring to go to North Africa, which could have emptied Spain of North Africans: anyone who visits Spain will see that the Spanish are not similar to North Africans but to Mediterranean Europeans.

@xriss.9019 Spanish words as : "buscar" (=look for "to bush " : look for (in the forest), "guadaña" ( =scythe), "tregua" (=respite, truce) , "guerra" (=war), "guerrero" (=warrior), "guardar" (=ward), rico (=rich), bosque (= bush), fresco (=fresh), tapa ( =tap) , Blanco ( =blank), esquife ( =(small) ship), dogo ( =big dog), etc are words of german origin , also surnames as : "manrique" ( rich man), "guzman" ( good man) etc

@ Navarra fue un reinecillo musulman durante unos dos siglos, desde aprox el 720 hasta el 890 , busca : maqbara de la plaza del castillo de Pamplona. Los musulmanes de Navarra fueron expulsados hacia 1610, ya transformados en moriscos

@xriss.9019 It is a historical fact that in Spain there was a "Suebian" kingdom and a large Visigothic kingdom. (I recently saw a list of words from the Visigothic language compared to other words from Germanic languages and it is curious that the Visigothic language is remarkably similar to the Scandinavian languages. At this moment I remember the word "duende" ( = goblin, elf ), and in Sweden there is the word "tomte" with the same sense . However, the Spanish race of the northern and central half (Castilles) is the race of the indigenous people who lived in the southern half (south of the Netherlands and the Rhine River) of the Atlantic coast of Europe with the genetic group Haplogroup R1b massively present in that Spanish population, while on the Mediterranean coast the relationship is with the Mediterranean race that lived around the Mediterranean Sea, basically with haplogroup J1. The language is obviously imposed by the Romans, not by the Germans. See in internet "Genetic map of Europe" Haplogroups ( Spaniards are not "mestizoes" or "mulattoes" or Arabs, as you pretend)

@ Navarra fue conquistada por los moros hacia el 720 y luego hubo ya en ella moros hasta la "expulsión de los moriscos" ocurrida en 1610 , en que probablemente mucho morisco se quedó, Busque en internet "maqbara en la plaza del Castillo de Pamplona" ( otra maqbara se encontro en la Casa del Condestable de Pamplona ) Es de imaginar que algun moro al menos paso a Guipuzcoa ( Huesca estuvo en poder de los moros varios siglos, idem la Rioja , por cierto en la provincia de Palencia nunca hubo moros y creo que tampoco en la de Burgos : por alguna razon desconocida hay abundante genetica norteaafricana en la prov de Santander ) Es posible que cierta proporcion de genetica norteafricana pasase en epoca romana . Precisamente por la parte media de la prov de Palencia iba una region llamada en la temprana edad Media : Campos goticos ( se habian establecido en ella mucho visigodo, que posteriormente fueron forzados a ir a Asturias y norte Leon por el rey Alfonso I . Los infames polticos actules , la chivite, los estan retornando

@xriss.9019 Have you lived in Spain? If you visit Spain you will notice that, depending on the region, there is a proportion of 1 Spaniard in 10 or 2 Spaniards in 10, who have blue eyes: it is an inheritance from the Suevi and Visigoths. It varies according to the region, logically there are more in the old Christian area which was the northern half. But the most abundant Spanish race is the one that has the set of genes or haplogroup R1b which seems to be that of the indigenous people of the Atlantic coast of Europe south of the Rhine River (Celtiberians, Basques).

@xriss.9019 Spain is a country and Germany is another country, they are different countries. It is similar to saying that "Spain is not Russia" or "in Spain the Russian language is not spoken" (in Spain a language derived from Latin is spoken, that is, the language of Rome). However, in Spain there are a large number of Gothic cathedrals, for example the cathedral of Burgos (burg = a germanic word), the cathedral of Palencia, the cathedral of Oviedo and the cathedral of Leon. Look at Wikip what it says in "Visigothic Kingdom" . What do you mean by "the germanic impact is almost zero" ?
1
@xriss.9019 I see what you mean: "Spain is not the daughter of ancient Germania, so it is not a European country". The reality is that Spain is not the daughter of ancient Germania, Spain is the daughter of Rome, Spain is Roma (that has survived to the present day, preserving the culture and mentality of Rome): in the Spanish language, an adult man is a "senior" (señor), and he has the title of "Dominus (The Spanish "Don" is "dominus": dominus Antonius = current "don Antonio"). The Spanish language is the language of Rome: the Latin, the Spanish language is the evolution of Latin. You pretend to make us believe that "Spain is a Muslim country because there are Muslim monuments and buildings in Spain"; In reality, the "Spanish Romans" when the Muslims entered in Spain, went towards the mountains in the north, and from there they returned down and "killed and exterminated the Muslim invaders and the few who survived were expelled to Africa in 1610 : the descendants of the Muslims who invaded Spain-Rome ("moriscos") now live in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia. the Roman-Spaniards recovered their "country" that was a part of Rome , not of Germania

@ Tell me one of those recent studies. The Spanish descend basically from Celtiberians (with haplogroup R1b) and Romans. In the year 711 there was an invasion, basically from Syrians, but the Muslims were then annihilated or expelled by the descendants of the Celtiberians, the Romans and the Visigoths (who lived in the northern part of Spain) (it is historical that thousands and thousands and thousands of Spanish Muslims fled or were expelled to countries like Morocco and Algeria, where their descendants currently live)

@ This is the best study on the genetics of the Spanish that has been done https://www.cell.com/cms/attachment/a8778372-27b7-4acf-bc44-ea55525fdaa8/gr1.jpg (the rest are falsifications, for example in them the genetics of Spaniards and Moroccans are compared and a percentage of similarities are found, but their mistake is that they think that "there was only a transfer of Moroccans to Spain" when in reality there were many more Spaniards (of Spanish race) who were expelled or fled to Morocco than Moroccans who moved to Spain: thousands and thousands and thousands of Spaniards of Spanish race but Muslim religion were expelled and others fled to Morocco and Algeria, and they brought the Spanish race to Morocco and Algeria) . In this list the region called Old Castile appears as "Castile NE", in it the proportion of North African genetics (haplogroup E3B2) is 3%. In the Region called Castilla la Nueva la Mancha the north african haplogroup E3B2 is 2%. The region that appears as Castile NW is not the authentic Castile but the ancient kingdom of Leon. The Semitic component (Near East, Syria, Arabs, Jews, Phoenicians appear as haplogroups J and J2). Search on the internet for "genetic map of Europe" (Brilliand maps, backyard ) and observe the presence of Haplogroup R1b in Spain, Western Europe and North Africa
1
@xriss.9019 haplogroup R1b is extremely rare in Morocco. Possibly the little that there is is from Spanish Muslims expelled or fled from Spain during the "expulsion of the Moriscos" or before. Words like "Guadaña" (= scythe ) are of Visigothic origin, or "Tregua" (= Truce) and Castilian surnames like "manrique" and "guzman" See: about R1b in Morocco: "Genetic studies on Moroccans" ( in wikiped)
