Nilo-Saharan ancestry in Somalis?

[Zak12]

Do Somalis have any additional Nilo-Saharan ancestry on top of our base AEA? I heard that there is evidence of a second admixing event between lowland Cushites and a Nilotic population similar to the Dinka because the Somali language supposedly contains key Nilo-Saharan loanwords in the lexicon for things like "stone" and "water". It may also be the reason why Dinkas are used as a proxy for our SSA ancestry.

One of y’all who knows a lot on the whole genetic origin and relation of Horners on the Nile Valley from Neolithic to when they migrated to the Horn should make some thread explaining all of it. It’s hard keeping track and piecing together some of the knowledge you all drop on random posts lol, especially for people who don’t know anything about genetics or population history and whatnot

Damn I dont know how i forgot about this post since it actually supported my idea about rapid 5th millennium b.c migration into eygpt.


You guys know genetics better than me so the fact that upper eygptian and lower nubian pouplations have very specific subclades of e-m78 they only share with somalks . wheras all the pouplations surrounding somalis have incredible e haplogroup diversity from e-v1515 to e-v22 seems like it should be taken as evidence that there was no migration from the eastern desert /red sea hills into somalia.

In the 6th millennium b.c At the same time as this new pouplation was arriving in Upper eygpt/lower nubia. Red sea coastal trade in afar and coastal Yemen obsidian forms wirh most of this obsidian being from the afar region.

Also if this new group wasn't arriving from the south or west where the forager pouplations remained and it wasn't arriving from the north. Then that only leaves the east as the direction they migrated from which . But since it was also a desert region at the time then coastal migration seems more likely.

Theres also the fact that both e-v12 and e-v32 considering their tmrca dates couldn't have formed in the Nile Valley.
