Socotris?

Then why do main land south Arabians look like them View attachment 49103

Look at their hair. They have afros. Obviously have Bantu ancestry and not pure Arabians.

Hadramaut and Oman have a lot of Bantu admixture. Notice how those guys have curly hair and wide noses.. while Socotris have straight hair and narrow noses.

I don't trust those guys are pure South Arabian, unlike the Socotri.

How does that work? There are two Arab ancestors in pre Islamic Arabian history qahtaan and cadnaan south Arabians coming from qahtaan

Arab = ethnic/linguistic group
Arabian = geographic group.

I was just about to ask that so they look like south arabians due to their African ancestry interesting

 

[Prince Abubu]

All Arabians, including these dark South Arabians, came from Neolithic herders of the Southern Levant.

I'm confused. If Cushites are roughly 40-50% Neolithic Levantine, how are we not related to groups like the Socotrans?

So are Arab salah really mehri or are they just Arabs with a little bit of Somali ancestry

Yemen Mahras on Gedmatch:

They are not homogenous, they have Bantu and Indonesian mixed outliers.

Dodecad K12b:

Green = Ancient Mahras, pre-admixture events.

Arab salaax and ogeyslabe, I believe were originally south Semites. They have been fully somalised over the centuries due to intermarriage.

What about the East African? It increases from 2.07 in the first sample, to 12.89 in the last sample. That's a lot of variation for a supposedly isolated group.

I changed it,

What about now? Only two pure-ish samples:

By the way, these guys made Indonesians and Malaysians Muslim.

I believe further DNA studies will show that many Red Sea coast dwelling Somali clans harbour South Semites in their midst such as e.g. Reer Idood HJ subclan (but we're originally a tiny coastal dwelling non-Isaaq clan).

They will show above noise level Arabian ancestry(around 5 % max), but that's about it.

Skin color can change rather fast. Europe used to have the same skin tone as these Socotris only a few thousand years ago.

The light skinned Socotris died out whilst the darker ones procreated. I guess the East African / Nilotic admixture gave them a genetic advantage lol.

Well, technically, all Arabs (even Syrian types) have alleles for dark skin. Socotris are the Southernmost West Eurasians and probably adapted to their environment by selecting for dark skin alleles.

These are the known alleles:

War ninyahow don't Somalis have the alleles for light skin I wonder if diaspora will become lighter over the next thousand years it already is happening to a lesser extent many diaspora look lighter than Somalis in Somalia

Does that mean all non-Africans have alleles for dark skin as well?

There is no genetic pressure for light skin anymore, but hypothetically if 1000 Somalis were dropped in Norway 3000 years ago(maybe less, not sure) then yes they'll probably be white skinned today if they didn't acquire Vitamin D from food sources.

See the above chart.

They also tested those on zebrafish and mice:

The concept of being "arab" in our day and age goes beyond what tribe you belong to or even your origin, like the old days. Being Arab depends on what country you belong to. They are Yemeni so we class them as Arabs. However, their origins might be different and might not even have that much arab blood.
