Origins
From what can be gathered, the Berbers are derived from primarily Phut, the son of Ham but, appear to have some elements from Casluh and Caphtor, the sons of Mizraim. The Kabyle Berbers appear to be descendants of Lud, the son of Shem.
Physical Appearance
Physically, there is regional variation between and within Berber groups. Those who inhabit the northern Maghreb, Mediterranean, and most of the Atlas Mountains are typically light brown to pallid in complexion, with a high frequency of blond and red hair and green and blue eyes relative to the region as a whole. Those who live in and around the Sahara zone range from brown to very dark.
