Socotris?

It looks like TMEM138 rs7948623 and HERC2 rs4932620 made Nilotes darker than West Africans,

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.

Are Kurdish people Arab since they're Iraqi? Or Assyrian people? Don't be ridiculous.

They are not. But ik certain people who will see them as Arabs, just because they Iraqi. Arabs are nationalists after Ww1

Some people see Sikhs as Muslim terrorists, so what?

Native Socotris came from South Arabian settlers during the bronze age. They have no Somali ancestry.

However, keep in mind that there are mainland Yemeni migrants, tourists, and former slaves from Zanzibar on that island.

Labelling all the inhabitants of the Arabian Peninsula as Arab is the same as labelling all lowland East Cushitic's as Somali.

Well, Arabic became a lingua franca to them all, while those other Cushites don't know any Somali.

Except South Semitic's.

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

Not enough isolation. European, West African, and Arab admixture will seep into the diaspora before any selection can take place.

Evolution 101.

 

[samaalewarrior]

I think they just south arabians with some bantu admixture?

They are not. Read the study on their genetics. The native ones are full South Arabians.

 

[GeKo]

South Arabians are not Arabs, they speak South Semitic languages.

I thought that too. But the odd thing is the Arabic language developed up north while the original arabs are from the south. Most khaleejis trace their roots back to Yemen.

So the original Arabs (south arabian) don't speak arabic..

 

[Wardheere]

Yes, but i’m wondering if they are experiencing any effects of the yemeni civil war

UAE took over the island few months ago.

Suqotris are the last pure Arabs. Modern Arabs are white because of intermarriage with northern peoples like Persians, Turks, Caucasians and Indo-Europeans. Mehri people are also darker skinned as they are also more purely Arab.

 

[Suhaib]

Do they have Somali blood?

 

[Zuzu5]

they are Indians Sukhadhara

Mainland Arabians are usually either full Arabian (''white'') or Arabian+Bantu. They have little to no Turk or Persian, especially in Saudi Arabia and mainland Yemen.

The darkness of Socotris is more likely founder effect. They live on a small island after all and were isolated for three thousand years.
