GENETICS Ethiopian aDNA (Axum n so n so)

[Cognitive]

I think it's still plausible that they are just A-Group. A-group goes from 3800–2900 BCE and we know that the Pastoral Neolithic begins to appear in the Horn by 3500 BCE. That might seem tight but that's 300 years from the start of that horizon to when the PN appear in the Horn so A-Group proper already existed for 3 centuries (more than the time difference between us and American revolution). But you're probably right in the sense that much of what culturally "made them" who they were was formed in the periods prior to the A-Group.

Curious, do you know of A-Group, or C-Group or even Kerman remains currently being sequenced for whole-genome data?
Before the flooding (blame Nasser, but hey, they needed the hydraulic power then, lol), I believe a bunch of Norwegians retrieved an appreciable collection of A-Group skeletal remains, but the sad thing is = those are skeletal remains and weren't potted like Nuerat and/ or Naga ed Deir, making successful preservation shady.
Should we get our fingers crossed/ anticipate these things? Sirak seems to still be working on Nubian stuff.

Wallahi imagine saying with a straight face that islam reached the hinterlands before it reached the costal region. I would just love to one day have a conversation with this dude and ask him the thought process behind this

Dude got an agenda, and these cadavers will believe him. This is what happens when you allow these vermin into your history.

From my understanding, Islam only reached that part between the 10th and 12th centuries as Somali sheikhs/Ajnabi spread the religion alongside trade routes.

I think will definitely need more evidence but it seems like by the beginning of the 8th century islam had basically spread through the entire somali pensiula since you find halal slaughtered camel bones around Harlaa and the swahili coast and Islamic inscriptions in Mogadishu
