Not the other way around. This stupid myth needs to die (that Somalis came from Oromos).
Proto-Somalis conquered half of Ethiopia from South Somalia and turned into Oromos.
Oromos never lived anywhere in Somalia prior to Somalis.
Oromos are even newcomers to Ethiopia that tried to expand to northern Somalia after the weakening of Adal Sultanate and they managed to conquer Hararghe which was previously inhabited by Somalis.
They tried to expand to southern Somalia but luckily the powerful Ajuran Sultanate successfully managed to repel their migration.
Oromos never lived anywhere in Somalia prior to the Somalis.
whats proto Somalis.
Ancestral Somalis, basically the Somalis you see today, but living 4,000 years ago. Modern ethnic Somalis are closer to them than Modern Oromos are.

Genetically that's true. But historically, don't think so.
Doesn't mean they branched off from us. Just means we're the closest to the Ancestral Lowland East Cushites.Somalis are the closest to Ancestral Lowland East Cushites. All the other ones have changed into something else.
