Blackpill Did the high rate of baldness in Spain have anything to do with Arab conquests?

[Pinpoint]

I think the percentage of bald arabs etc. are underestimate because survey studies cant be as accurate there. Who tf knows.

Nah, Moors hardly had any genetic impact(compare MENA countries to Iberia here):

The most striking results are that contemporary NW African and Iberian populations were found to have originated from distinctly different patrilineages and that the Strait of Gibraltar seems to have acted as a strong (although not complete) barrier to gene flow.

Compared to North Africans:

Spaniards just always have been balding.

I wonder if all the Arabs just took their rapebabies back with them during the Reconquista. It's remarkable so few Iberians have Arab ancestry, especially when you look at Spain's conquest of South America and the resulting effect on the populace. Maybe we need Arabs to do a genetic test to see if any groups have disproportionate Iberian ancestry.
