I’ve never seen a short og, maybe it’s the dietI agree, I feel like all somalis have the potential to be really tall. I’ve never noticed a stark difference between Ogadens and non-ogadens.
Most of the Bari folks are short on average compared to mjs from Nugaal and mudug all the way to DDs, i think it’s the diet, camel and goat meat is more nutrient dense than fish.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.
@Kisame be like we need a good looking president for our pr
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.

was interesting to read lol.
I agree with what you said and that is also what I have seen with my own family. My fathers side of the family is from Eyl (reer mahad) with arab salah maternal and they look like they are less lean, with bigger bones and a little shorter on avarage.
My maternal side who also are reer mahad from Mudug have that more lean, tall «geeljire» look. So yes I believe coastal people from Puntland probably have more semite DNA than others.
So you have been to Eyl? My dream is to go Eyl one day InshaAllah. The only place I have been to in Somalia is Kismaayo. It was very interesting reading your takes on this
Barasho wanaagsan abaayo
Sorry for my grammar. I usually never write in english or somali![]()
I think it’s cuz all of them are closely related together they share a common trait.The tallest Somalis I’ve met have mainly been OG dhulbahante or Isaaq
Yeah those 3 groups intermarry a lot historicallyI think it’s cuz all of them are closely related together they share a common trait.
