Genetic make-up of the Bravanese people of Somalia

[Shanshiyo1234]

Reer Xamar has nothing to do with the city of Mogadishu, but a specific ethnic group.

99% of Mogadishu is not Reer Xamar/Benadiri.

Also, most of Brava is not ethnically Bravanese.

It WAS though!

Wallahi I have sort of slightly wide nose but from the side it looks Roman like.

You guys are ~25-30 % black, whilst yemenis/gulf arabs/north africans are around 20 % black, but you guys are much darker than them and are the same skin colour as light skin somalis.

Skin color/phenotype thing is weird. I am just as light or lighter than all of these people but no where near 21%-22% South Asian/West Asian, not even close. I am single digits West Asian/European and 0% Bantu with over 90% EA.

For Middle Eastern standards, you guys are pretty dark. For East African standards, not so much.

I'm honestly like lightbrown. Theres alot of variation among arabs themselves.
