GENETICS Nilotes found to carry Haplogroup T (T-M70) shared with Fulani, Egyptians & South Cushites

This would only be noteworthy if the Nilotic populations in question were in South Sudan; the Maa (Maasai-Samburu) have extensively mixed with Cushitic populations. Don't get me wrong, the Maasai-Samburu are my kin, but they're not pure Nilotes.

The Nilotes in subject are actually the Karamojong of Uganda who were found to carry T-M70.

Its a different clade from which the South Cushites like Rendille and Samburu carry.

Thanks for the correction on the Nilotic population that carries T-M70.

The Samburu are a Nilotic population, albeit with significant Cushitic admixture

I dont know if your not getting what I'm saying or if your messing with me wallahi . In the other post your being extremely pedantic about the dh/r ending variation. Whereas in this post you basically handwave away the lack of evidence for migration in this very specific period by saying "humans are always migrating" . I have no problem with people disagreeing with me but its like you don't even get the point I'm making.

I don’t get it.
Is what I’m writing not English ?

Rendille aren’t South Cushitic, they are Somaloid Lowland East Cushitic speakers. Samburus are basically Nilotic Masai

Got you, thanks for the correction. The point was that the Nilotes who carry T are Karamojong from Uganda.
