Not most. All. But it's all ancient/pre-historic. Most of it is from Neolithic Egypt then another pulse seemingly came during the Iron-Age from Yemen (5-10% of our ancestry).

All Somalis have roughly the same amount of Southwest Eurasian admixture/affinity.
The main variable between Somalis is the amount of Bantu admixture. That is the most common type of foreign admixture in Somalis, not recent Arab, recent Bantu is what differentiates Somalis the most.
Trollingka jooji. Almost no one has any "Bantu" outside of some Degoodi saaxiibs. 0.something 23andme "Southeast African" in some reer Koonfur is nothing. I'm mostly north-central and have no "Bantu" when you run stuff like G25 and even I show decimal point SE African. It's clearly more a result of there being Horner admixture in them making some Somalis show decimal point results for the component.
No we are black
I know

Not trolling, I am serious. On 23andMe, it is mostly Darods, Isaaqs etc testing themselves.
Whenever academic population geneticists take samples from places like Mogadishu, Bay, or Somali refugee camps in Yemen you see a huge amount of Bantu admixed outliers. Given the demographic weight in the South, Bantu is by far the most common type of recent admixture in Somalis.
That's not true. Those outliers are usually complete outliers as in straight-up "Somali Bantus" or Cadcads. I have yet to see much of any actual reer Koonfur with Bantu admixture even in minute amounts. Take that one study we shared a while back with both reer Waqooyi iyo reer Koonfur. At first it looked like the reer Koonfur had Bantu admixture until you looked at the individual ADMIX results or the PCA and noticed like 90% of the reer Konnfur samples were identical to the reer Waqooyi samples and there were just a handful of complete outliers clustering with Kikuyus which were obviously Bantus.
I personally would prefer to say that we are Somali instead of saying that we are black. We are Somali and our country is located in Africa

Test 100 random people in Baidoa, same for Kismayo, Brava, and Mogadishu. You will get 20% of people with more than 5% Bantu.
I've seen dozens upon dozens of reer Koonfur samples from all over in my time. I have yet to see anyone who has more than the 0.something I mentioned. There's honestly more who show trace amounts of South Asian, rofl.
whats the best model for a somali to use on Gedmatch?
whats the best model for a somali to use on Gedmatch?
this is the average somalis result on global 25
Somsli Galbeed have also Bantu admixture. I think some rahsnweyn have some Bantu admixture, so but not Marexaan and Hawiye.

Somali.
in that logic you’re also Ugandan.
Can’t take you kneegrows seriously; just for identifying with a broad term.
I am wondering around which prophet's time this happened.
No clue around the Neolithic but the ancient Yemenis (Proto-Ethiosemites) came to the Horn around 1000 BCE. This would have coincided with the beginnings of the Kingdom of Kush:
Many European scholars alleged that Rahanweyn have Bantu admixture, I've never seen any claim of any other ethic southern clan having Bantu admixture though. Historically Rahanweyn and some Abgaal subclans were more likely to adopt Bantus in their clans, occasional mixing may have happened. I also suspect that some Bantu admixture is actually due to mixing with barwanis and other benadiris who have Arab+Swahili roots. If someone is Hawiye with a barwani mother it's likely this person will get 2-3% bantu
