My exchange with her on youtube went like this:
me: You do know that YDNA is important? Also you do know that ancestry isn't for Somalis and that pure Somalis aren't half southeastern Bantu and Arab right?
her: Well what you're saying is "redundant". Insert: *Ancestry pitch for MTDNA kits*
me: That's my point, ancestry was just trying to sell you that kit. For instance, my mtdna haplogroup is M1 and there isn't bantu-admixture there.
her: Well, I'd like to see a 100% Somali. Besides, being half or full doesn't matter.
me: I hear you, you're right sis.
I deleted my youtube account after this.

Cringe-worthy.
I have to say i'm not really bothered by this. I stopped giving a shit about all the incredible futile arguments about who Somali's are the moment the oldest human bones to date were found in Ethiopia. I just assume the reason why Somali's are so various is because most people come from us, rather than the other way around. I know the argument sounds flawed, and I have no scientific basis to go off of, but it just makes sense to me. So saying we're this or this, rather than saying we're just Somali is redundant and ridiculous to me.
Otherwise the video wasn't too bad. I criged alittle when she said "Somalian" though. God, hearing your own people say it sounds even more ignorant than hearing others say it.

@Amun ka sheekee ancestry.com it sounds like they have done no research on Somalis.
"Omg hooyo was right her aabo was from Yemen"
OOOOOooooOO cool, I have a forum about me. Hiii! Let's get started.
I said my grandmother's father not my mother. Not the point though, but thanks for giving me those youtube views! I appreciate ya!
Oh, don't pause because of Ramadan.. it doesn't count if your lying. God made everyone, so big foreheads or not, who cares. You are not the judger for humans perfection.
Two things though!
1.) How many years back are we talking, the beginning of time? I believe people originated from Africa. Can the test show me the that far, no. but I wanted to know what the science we have now COULD tell me about the last several thousands of years. My mother is taking the test, so stay tuned for the next episode!
There's no proof human life begin in Somali guys. Let's remember Pangea, and everything in-between then and now. Our history has wonderful things, but the more people take the test the more the science advances. What about the history we don't know about. I'd like to know about the first feet to touch Somalia. Where did they walk from, what did they bring? Maybe it did start in Somalia! I want to know where they went to first, ect.
2.) AncestryDNA generalizes a whole region because there isn't enough information yet. They call it SouthEastern Bantu because there isn't enough information that separates countries so they have it set as a "region", hence my encouragement of Somalis taking the test. I also have my raw DNA and have used GEDmatch. Pretty similar results to AncestryDNA. "Prue" Somalis are the ones who should be taking the test so the science can advance. Then we can base our DNA around theirs!
Let's remember kids, in the case someone has DNA patterns that show a different region, that doesn't make you less Somali or less of whoever you are. Lastly, at the end of the day we're all human.

Sounds more plausible than all these other shit reasons of where we came from.
Its should its logical. We are indigenous Africans and our origins are from Northern Somalia. We speak a language which is indigenous to the horn. We have DNA indigenous to the horn. Culture native to the horn, Our history doesn't fall outside of the Horn of Africa. There is no evidence that we migrate to Somalia from somewhere else. There is no indication of any population change.
Everything else you hear is just racist hear say echoing the eurocentric debunked myth of ''hamitic'' hypothesis.
I agree with @Haze for the love of god we are the only Africans who have a land named after us and yet we are so quick to question where we come from. Asalkeena waa Soomaali(Our origins is Somali).

The results read:
48% South East African
7% North African
41% Middle East.
Every Somali who has taken the test gets similar results. When a person from a different country takes the test they're results are completely different.
Misleading would be to tell a Somali person their traits show North/South America (Native Americans) region. South East Africa general, but still pretty close to Somalia.
and no, they don't have enough samples. Which is why more people should take the test to advance the science.

23andMe is a lot better and more scientific. I wouldn't advise anyone to take Ancestry.com. They are scamming people with their results.
Your link states "This does not necessarily mean that the Somalis were the first humans who have populated the Horn. In fact, Old and Middle Stone Ages (Paleolithic & Mesolithic) cultures were observed across the Somali Peninsula and relating areas. "
So if we're going back that far, who were those people and how did they help make who we are today
I'm not talking about Somalis being the first humans, that's just silly claim to make.
I purely speaking from a evolutionary perspective. How we come to be, how we evolved , how we formed into the Somali ethnic group.
Which points to how our origins is in Somalia nowhere else. When you look at history,genetics,linguistics and archeology.
