Muuse biixi The most handsome Somali president of all time?

The tallest I've seen are MJs, from DDSi to be precise, and not mixed with OG or Dhulos either.
My family is tall, men and women alike, and I don't just mean my nuclear family.

I assume there could be a factor where coastal Puntites are affected by marrying those Semites such as Arab Salah over time. Perhaps similarly with other coastal Somalis. We need real studies though.
I feel I would have been 5'8 in Somalia but since I was well fed growing up I'm 6'0. I bet many Somalis don't reach there maximum height potential because of poverty. Although, I suppose they get to have higher testosterones due to whole food diet.
 
Which Semites? And where’s ddsi?

DDSi is 'Galbeed' aka the land that is occupied by the Ethiopian Regime.
The Semites I am referring to are Carab Saalax. The relatives I have with Carab Saalax DNA, have these 'Arab' traits. Wider bones, stockier bodies, bigger hands and feet, not size but width. They don't present very Somali at all, they don't even have faro-dheer and other elongated Somali features or body types. I actually mistook some of them for being Asian or something.
 
Maybe height is an internal Somali vs coastal Somali thing perhaps. The ones in DDSI are probably more insulated from the few Ajnabis that land on our shores. This is my suugo science theory, we cannot pretend those Semites did not leave some throwback genes.
most likely also different diet and lifestyle most coastal Somalis eat fish and lobster while inland Somalis are raised on caano geel etc

Good point. Although I've learnt that Somalis didn't just have one job, someone could herd livestock, fish and also trade at the same time and so forth. The strong 'nomadic' image in Somalia has made many of us forget the diversity in Somali lifestyles.
 
He looks like my dad and a few of his brothers. :lolbron: It's somewhat bizarre that there is only a certain range in terms of Somali phenotype.

Usually what I notice is;

1. Maariin/Dark sculpted faces
2. Light skinned with rounder features,

And the darker the ethnic Somali, the looser the hair type.

Somali genes are fascinating.

I believe it’s because most Somali rulers and leading figures come from nomadic backgrounds compared to farmers or fishermen who are more calm naturally
 
I'll also add him, I don't know his name but Masha'Allah

It's linked to diet mostly, good quality milk and genetics. On average, Somali men I've observed tend to average around 5ft 9 and that's usually men in their 40's and up, the younger generation will grow even taller.

My great grandfather lived in eyl and was a geel jire but he was also a great swimmer and diver and would regularly eat seafood. I think the whole seafood historical stigma is greatly exaggerated.
 
I recommend it. The ones in the cities are cute, but it's the town softer attractiveness, vs the lean/tanned/chiselled geeljirre, coastal faaraxs. I think most women much prefer the active Somali man's appearance and attitude vs magaalo-drinking tea soft appearance.
