What a joke that Bantus in Somalia try to claim they lived there before us, when ancient bones from Tanzania don't even relate to Bantus!

''native'' Bantus to Somalia is a total hoax and anti-science.

Amun,

The Gosha and Mushunguli are Bantu of recent settlement in Somalia, mostly escaped slaves from the lower Shabelli plantations. The Gabaweyn, Shabelli, Makaane and Shidle, however, are native Negroid peoples, similar to the Ari of Ethiopia and some of the northern and eastern tribes in Uganda. (https://www.africa.upenn.edu/NEH/u-ethn.html) They DID precede the Samaale migrations into Somalia.

"Bantu" is a language determination. The native Negroid population of Somalia never spoke Bantu and have an origin in the Central Sudan. They have no relationship to the Bantu culture or language, which is from Niger-Congo. (http://www.oxfordbibliographies.com/view/document/obo-9780199846733/obo-9780199846733-0165.xml)

Pastoral Samaales took over all lands not infected with tsetse. Only the tsetse-infected areas along the rivers remained in the hands of the "peoples of the plain." Pastoralism in Somalia came late; Camel pastoralism in Somalia is less than 1500 years old.

That article is a lot more complex than you and others here are giving it credit for. There were also a lot of San and Khoe and Hazda in there that should not be ignored. The Bantu Expansion actually came very late and never reached Somalia. It's sole representatives are the slaves brought in by the Omanis after about 1825, the Gosha and Mushunguli. The other Negroids were already there. Sadly, the two very distinct groups have become confused.

I do hope the confusion is not intentional.

The Eyle have the only direct archaeological evidence for being native, or at least having an ancient connection to Somalia. As far as I am aware, no DNA work is yet available for them and they are variously described as both Negroid and Khoisanoid. The word showing up with some frequency these days is "pre-Cushitic".
