Do you think Somalis are mixed or pure?

[Som]

If we're being frank, it's 40-60, west eurasian and african. This mix happened prehistory. Probably in the neolithic era. A group similar to natufians and the dinka were the mix. The cause was most like forced migration due to the desertification of the sahara and arabia. 5000 years ago it was green.

"The ethio-somali component is a mix of west eurasian and african." But is ethio-somali a mix of Westeurasian+ subsaharan african or a mix of Westeurasian+northafrican? Cause i think I've read somewhere it's northafrican

 

[Som]

K10. The origins is counted as a mix, at which most is west eurasian. I prefer K10 because it's more clear cut.

Sorry if insist. How is K10 more clear cut? 'I have no clear idea of what this whole K+Number is all about. For example why is arabian (Brown column) just a tiny bit in k12 but more present at K10? Same for omotic (purple) we have more or less the same as habeshas at k11 but not much at K12

We are as unique and as African as the pygmés in the Congo, or the khoisan people in South-africai dont believe were mixed, our language is unique our culture and traditions aswell isnt borrowed.

Most human populations are a mixture of various Paleolithic and Neolithic populations.

However, Somalis have been more or less the same race the past 5,000 years, except for maybe acquiring 10% more East Horn of Africa hunter-gatherer ancestry in the past two or three millennia.

K represents variables. Each number is an additional variable. K11 added ethiopic, which represents Omotic people. K12 added Ethio-somali.

K10 makes more sense when referencing the time in which the two groups intermixed. Nilo-saharan for the African genes. Ancient West Eurasian for the Non-African genes. 60-40 respectively.

We're talking about the Neolithic era. Modern North Africans have the gene as well. Hence why I just prefer referencing it as Non-African.

 

[jabsveg276]

we def have some other dna in us, i think the entire east africa share the same gene pool, not just somalia

Well, the way dad explained it is that they’re different races in Africa . Somali people look different from mixed Bantus or Nilotics. Like I know I don’t look like neither Nina Simone or Beyoncé. My boyfriend and my exes tell me that I don’t look black as in Bantu but doesn’t look like other race in general. At my old job, the only other black chick there was a half white/Hallie Berry type . To my other co-worker (all non-black), say that about my looks, too. A couple of them out right asked me if I’m Ethiopian or Somali.
In short, Somalis are the own race or at least sub group.

 

[Kurobecky]

Also, Somalis are VERY old . I think that we share a common ancestor with Arabs and other groups because of this. Plus, I believe our phenotype is a result of evolution. Think about it. The main trade for Somalis was trading aka interacting with non African people. Aka people that may have a negative way towards non-Nordic types. Perhaps, our features helped with negotiating and as a way to subconsciously lure ajnabis in a false sense of security .
BUT, that’s just a theory. A Somali theory. Thanks for watching

 

[Milo]

I ain’t came from no dirty yemeni midgets

they were scholara and very respected men who came to Somalia to spread
and yes I think that we became pure overtime

[Marshall D Abdi]

@Asli read this thread its about somalis origins

 

[Boogie]

Waryaa we are Pure Somalis but if u wanna go far far back we are mixed

 

[Villainess]

@Asli read this thread its about somalis origins

our last admixture was thousands of years ago. there is no ethnic group today that has lasted that long without some sort of mixture.

we are one of the most homogenous groups in Africa. miss me with this bullshit

Prehistoric mixes doesn't mean we are Arab babies.

 

[Sloane Ranger]

Why can't people be content with being Somali ? What's the purpose in trying to find ajnabi ancestors ?
