Is it me or is being mixed super in right now?

Cadaans are part ANE which is like 30kya+ cut from WHG and also about 30% East-Eurasian admixed. And then there's Basal Eurasian if it's real and whatever the heck "Ancestral North African" (ANA) is and you had dark-skinned, robust WHGs mixing with light-skinned, gracile Anatolian Farmers less than 10,000 years ago and you don't see them referring to themselves as ancient mulattoids on DNAforums. Yes, we're ancient mixed. But so are most peoples in the world. Nothing special.

I wouldn't even claim it. Some ajnabis want any excuse to say you aren't African enough be it your curl pattern, skin tone or facial features. Sub-Saharan African is synonymous with Niger-Congo people and to a minor extent Nilo-Saharans (which are lumped without any distinction beyond being superficially darker, hairless and taller). And don't some Niger-Congo groups have ancient admixture from some ghost population and some with Ancient North West Africans. They aren't an actual representation of ancient indigeneity. Those contemporary Nilos aren't pure replicas of the ancient groups either. No one is.

Hmm, I still get the impression that most of it was not good for much, walaal. Barely anyone seemed interested in full-time colonizing it until the modern era for a reason. But looool, that would have been interesting. You telling me I could have been a Kabayan Somali?!

The two shortest Eurasians (Austronesians, South Semites) could have cucked us badly if it weren't for the climate, lmao. Six feet Somali men would be exceedingly rare then. Thank God for the tall Nilotes and average height North Africans.

I dunno what you're picturing, saxiib. Doubtless the Aethiopids would come out on top and create a race-based caste system with the encroaching Kabayanoids and Sanjeetoids at the bottom and their women a free for all for all Ayaanles (Pre-Islamic so Ayaanle). Today we would be 50% Sanjeetoid+Kabayanoid with 100% E-M35/T-L208/A-M13 Y-DNA, saxiib. You can take that to the bank.

The racist near pure Austronesians would live in the mountains of Sanaag and snub their noses at those tall dark lowlanders. They would dominate STEM programs of Somali universities and the Cushitic aboriginals would demand max Austronesian quotas in academia. The South Semite elite would morph into the banking class.

Joking.

The Horn is a little confusing, to be honest. I wonder why influences from Sudan died down after the Neolithic. Sudan is responsible for pretty much the biggest cultural shift in Horn history. In just a century or so by 3000 BCE the Horn goes from the Paleolithic to a culture that uses cattle, goats, sheep, donkeys, shepherd/hunting dogs, pottery as well as bows and arrows while also leaving behind megaliths, rock-carvings, cave-paintings and practices grain-collecting that eventually morphs into local farming of crops like durra and ensete. This culture also seems to overrun a wide area very fast. Around the same time-frame they're all over Ethiopia and both north and south along the Somali Peninsula. Very mobile people who eventually made it all the way to southern Africa.

Yet, for some reason, influences from Sudan don't seem to continue, at least probably outside of northern Eritrea and parts of northern Ethiopia. I say this because the Horn, if I'm not mistaken, remains Neolithic until around 1000 BCE when the Proto-Ethiosemtiic (PES) people begin to come from Yemen whereas our Sudanese homeland entered the Bronze-Age by about 2500 BCE and was pretty much neck and neck with the cultures in the Near East and eastern Mediterranean in terms of civilization.

Kerma circa. 2000 BCE:

Kinda makes you wonder why the Horn didn't enter the Bronze Age as well as the civilized age with them. Things like proper towns/cities, writing, monumental architecture and extensive global trade don't seem to become a thing with Horners until after 1000 BCE from what I can tell. This also puts any holes, I think, in the idea that there were waves of migrations from Sudan into the Horn. I think there really was just one single migration of Proto-Agaw-East-South Cushites and that was it. The genetic differences that seem apparent between those early Pastoral Neolithics and modern Horners may have been there from the start.

Not Somalis trying to claim the mixed label because of some ancient mixture that happened in 10000BC whole world is mixed at that point
