How are Somalis and Afars related?

[jabsveg276]

What the title asks

 

[Apollo]

Only distantly related as fellow Horners / Cushites, but not closely related like how Somali clans are closely related to each other ethnically.

So u saying me as an issaq nigga is closer to darods and hawiyes than to afars

Duh, obviously. Why would you be closer to a totally different ethnicity instead of your own ethnicity?

I really don't know maybe I've been brainwashed by qabilist making konfur brother sound like foreign niggas

The genetic landscape of Ethiopia: diversity, intermixing and the association with culture

The rich linguistic, ethnic and cultural diversity of Ethiopia provides an unprecedented opportunity to understand the level to which cultural factors correlate with -- and shape -- genetic structure in human populations. Using primarily novel genetic variation data covering 1,268 Ethiopians...

purely based on genetics, probably "Habeshas". Afars generally don't consider themselves Habesha, some do.

Some newbies think Habeshas are not Cushitic because of language. Habeshas are majority Cushitic, so they are close to the surrounding Cushites (Agaw, Sahos, and Afars) especially.

 

[Cushite warrior]

Do you think that afars have the exact same yemeni admixture like habesha's?

i thought they were Semitic ?

They aren't significantly mixed with Yemenis. They are mostly a local form of Cushites closest to Agaws and Sahos.. Habesha stem from Agaws.

i thought they were Semitic ?

Semites look like Mohammed bin Salman. Clearly this is not the majority of their origin.

Are afars pure cushites like somalis?

 

[Apollo]

Are afars pure cushites like somalis?

There is no such thing as pure Cushites. Neither Afars nor Somalis are pure.

PS. Read that study instead of asking so many questions.

 

[Abba Sadacha]

The closest group to afar are saho.
Afar are more pure than we oromo and somali which is why their numbers are lower. They didn't assimilate as many people.

 

[Makaahiil77]

mate, afar aren't purer than Somalis, the Ethio-Somali component of the DNA found in all Cushites that makes us related, reaches a peak frequency in Somalis, ergo Somalis are the purest Cushites in existence today although we obviously aren't 100 percent pure ourselves

Btw Saho have a clan called Gadafur which is originally Gadabuursi Dir Somali, even among the Saho, the priestly class come from Gadafur ..interesting side note

As @Apollo said there is no such thing as "pure" Cushitic. we cannot know for sure Somalis being the "purist", because they properly use proxy that is closer to Somalis because they have no Omotic DNA, Somalis also have native Somali hunter gathering ancestry. We have ancient Cushitic speakers from Kenya, but not the the Eastern Desert (Where Cushitic speakers originate)

 

[Makaahiil77]

I never said Somalis are totally pure, just that we are genetically the purest existing cushites, this is a genetic fact: look at the distribution of the Ethio-Somali component dna in cushites, Somalis carry the highest amount, almost zero omotic dna except ogaden region somalis whonhave like 1 percent, and no recent arab dna unlike habesha ..I ain't saying we are pure, but we sure are the purest cushites that are closest to the original cushites vis-a-vis genetic clusters
