Is there anybody here that's an expert on haplogroup DNA? I need help.

I'm on google & wikipedia trying to find the haplogroup DNA of the Tuareg people, including other ethnicities. I want to know if the Tuareg people are the same as so-called Negroes like Bantu, Akan, & Mande people or not. What's the haplogroup DNA of Tuaregs & Negroes (Bantus, Akans, & Mandes)?

1. Negro is an outdated racist term. So one would question your agenda.
2. Tuaregs are primarily a diverse Berber group but are also intermediate between Sahelian Africans. No they wouldn't be intermediate with West Africans like Akans and definitely not Bantu people who live further South; both groups they never had contact with. The West African groups they would be intermediate with would be Mandes(in upper West Africa), Fulanis and other neighboring native Africans in the Sahel.
3. Though like I said Tuaregs are a diverse group and are not homogenous at all. So it depend on the location. Some cluster closer to what you call "negro" Africans, while some cluster more with other Berbers. IIRC Tuaregs from Niger cluster more with "Sub Saharan Africans". Of course "negro" and "sub sahara" are useless and non-tangible words when having a discussion about African genetics and diversity.
4. You need to clarify; are we talking Y-DNA or mtDNA? Because IIRC some Tuaregs do carry a significant amount of West African E1b1a on their paternal side, but most carry the signature Berber marker E-M81 which has its roots in East Africa.

I used the term "negro" to distinguish the Tuaregs from the Bantus, Akans, & Mandes.

Noted. But understand that Tuaregs are a vast group and some can be regarded as "negro". Of course I am only talking phenotypically. Bantus too are a vast group. Tutsi's who are a Bantu people were once said to be "Hamitic" and non Negroid like the Tuareg. Yet the Tutsi arw Bantu.

Can you tell me the haplogroup of the ethnicities that I've listed? I couldn't tell who belongs to which haplogroup when I was looking on Wikipedia.

 

[emoney]

to keep it plain and simple tuaregs are an intermediate group between the typical west african and the typical north african.

not sure about there y-dna haplogroups

I know akan and mende are e1b1a.....bantus will depend on which bantus were talking about...the ones in cameroon and western/central congo are most likely to be e1b1a but I would have to check and make sure. I know the bamileke and bassa to be specific are e1b1a.

Can both of you provide sources to the info y'all posted?

I'm on my phone so I can't. But one can easily do a google search. Plus I posted a link in my first post how Tuareg E-M81 has roota in East Africa. Also depending MOSTLY on Wikipedia is void.
