What do you think about the Guanches?

I am canarie guanche from Gran Canaria long live de Guanches viva mi tierra

I had no clue about this wow. Thanks for taking the time to upload this.

Thank you this stuff is interesting.

Great history lesson, thanks Professor Kai 👏🏽

My mother-in-law is from the Canary Islands, and the area's history and diversity are reflected in her genes. Here is her ancestry.com DNA breakdown: Spain 44% Portugal 43% Ireland 1% North Africa 7% Germanic Europe 3% Senegal 2%

Hey thanks for the video, i was researching my ancestry and found out we came from here, it now makes sense why my mom is a white Hispanic women and I came out looking Arabic.

DNA shows the Gaunches are related to the Berbers from North Africa. I also thought I heard that some of the Canary islands had different looking Guanches some were supposedly blonde with tanned or dark skin. There is also a tribe of Berbers in North Africa who are blonde blue eyed and fair skinned. I don't remember the name of the tribe (maybe you can find out more). Though, as you said, some Canary Islanders have the darker Berber type. The Guanche DNA survived through the maternal side since the Spainiards killed off most of the males in their battles. This sadly seems to be the case with most conquered indigenous people. What's weird is how they ended up on those islands is sort of a mystery since they supposedly didn't swim and there's no evidence of ship building. 🤔As you said not much is known about them and I love a good mystery! Thanks for the very interesting video.😊

I found out about this indigenous group when I got my 23 and me results back. The 67% of my lineage comes from this archipelago. My remaining DNA is 20% Indigenous American 8% Subsaharan African and 3.9% Western and North African. It’s so fascinating, since I just thought my family’s history started and ended in PR.

the vocal audio was a BIT low today... but still great video 😊

This is great! My grand parents, part of my ancestry! Thanks

Just found out that's my dna is closely related to these people. I have no idea who they even are lol. I'm glad I found your channel.

Thank you for sharing. Through DNA estimates I have traces of Guanche heritage. I am trying to learn more about their history and about life on the Canary Islands

SAY GUANCHE AMAZIGH PLEASE

I am Berber de sous thank my brother for this vedio

😊😊😊😊

Found out I have this dna thru my test 🤩

The guanches are Amazighs known as "berbers" but we prefer to be called Amazighs because "Berbers" is a name given to us by all colonizers. Amazighs mean "the free people". We Amazighs (I'm from Algeria) suffered from many invasions and each colonizer tried to assimilate us to their culture and wipe out our very ancient identity but we survived in the mainland (North Africa, our DNA is still very native dominated (according to DNA tests), I've seen some people have 90% + North African blood which is rare to have such a homogenous population. Amazighs come in different skin colours (and hair, eyes colours) it is not an indication of a foreign origin whatsoever because in Algeria for example you can see all possible colours mediterranean brown, blond blue eyes, blacks, redheads etc this is due to the vast territory so there is a huge diversity in terms of landscapes, environment, skin types AND culture but it is all Amazighe ethnicity and culture and of course there will be different skin colours between an Algerian from the North which is typically mediterranean and an Algerian from the Sahara! Even though Canarian Amazighs (The Guanches) have been rather successfully assimilated by the Spanish Colonizers, the Amazigh culture and language is present everytwhere in North Africa so if you want to look for the original Guanches culture and language, check out the history of North African (pre islam), language and culture have obvisouly been influenced but the identity remains the same and we care so much about our identity because we have been through a lot (many colonisations, cultural oppression, and so on).

In some countries due to colonialism the indigenous peoples were either wiped out or their traditions were embraced.

So....I'm looking to find information of my ancestry dna. The Guanches of the canary Islands. I can't seem to find much. I'm most definitely not white tho. Maybe this is where I get my green grayish eyes from.

My dna matched with these people . I'm somali 75% , 16% north african , 3,7 % Scandinavian,3% oceanian.. 1% west africa. My dna also matches with lots of acient egyptian mummies and king ramsesse 3 .. etc. Dna also matches crusaders from Lebanon and syria. etc

Apparently, some were caught up in the slave trade.

Im really wondering if the Canary Islands arent the basis for the legend of Atlantis

I’m 68% Canary and it’s labeled under Portuguese

Does he tell the truth about how they were whites until the Spanish showed up??

They’re Amazigh, they’re in North Africa! they never disappeared, the colonizers destroyed all proof, and they moved between the main land and the island.. The Amazigh are also Numedians and ruled Anxient Khemet for 6 dynasties..

Their always is indigenous peoples. We’re they wiped out.

Guanche is amazigh not black ! A I am distance 6 for guanche, I am amazigh ! You crazy

Make a video about the Canary Island Jews. Aka…crypto Jews…aka Sephardic Jews.

The Spanish are not the sole cause for the white complexion amongst the Guanche people. If I’m not mistaken, the Guanches did have tan skin but they also had blonde hair and blue eyes. Similar to their relatives, the Berber/Amazigh people of Northwestern Africa.
