He told me he's 97% East African.What are the sub-categories? 23andMe distinguishes between West and East African.
He told me he's 97% East African.
Then the guy is lying about being half Swahili.
He needs to have some West African and some South Asian for him to be part Swahili.
He reminds me of those handful of Sheikhaal people who carry the R1a haplotype despite being predominantly East African in terms of autosomal DNA.He's lying about being half Benadiri / Swahili. You cannot have that heritage with those results. He has a typical ethnic Somali result for 23andMe.
His paternal lineage is the most common among Somalis, 80% have that, the other 20% have T1.
He reminds me of those handful of Sheikhaal people who carry the R1a haplotype despite being predominantly East African.
His paternal lineage is not Somali at all. Read it carefully. This cluster is rarely found outside of Europe
He has E-V13, no?E-V32 is a boring lineage that has a high frequency in East Africa.
E-V12 is the European variant. He does not have that one.
He has E-V13, no?
I told him to take a Y-12markers DNA test with ftdna anyway. We'll see about this lol.Nope. It is V32. Those fools still use an outdated nomenclature.
It's not V13 the European variant.
Which Sheekhaal are that the Ethiopian Aw Qudub or Looboge from South Somalia?He reminds me of those handful of Sheikhaal people who carry the R1a haplotype despite being predominantly East African in terms of autosomal DNA.
His paternal lineage is not Somali at all. Read it carefully. This cluster is rarely found outside of Europe.
I don't know jack shit about genetics so I don't really have anything to say
