I have seen timo jileec looking people from Puntland. I wonder if we had a few boats crash on our shores or tradesmen/workers who never left. OR is this DNA hidden within the Meheri component?
I think there is more to it than just small fishing communities, or of ship wrecks, for in the Malabar coastal region in southern India, one would observe stark similarities with coastal communities in Bari (
By Bari I mean from Sanaag to Nugaal basin). For instance, visiting rural villages in the vicinity of cities like Thiru, Kollam etc are very similar to villages in Bari and other coastal towns in .So from social structure to body build to pitch in tone to complexion to diet to household to dress to even posture and etc.
Meheri community, as are majority of the people in the East and North, is rooted in al Mahra region, Yemen. No anthropological or scientific evidence, but It becomes more evident in rural and coastal villages.
