I wouldn't say it's an east African trait because Bantus who aren't mixed with Nilotics don't have itit's an east african thing

I know but most people don't know that and Bantus are heavily present in east Africa nowadaysBecause they're not originally from East Africa whereas the Nilotics and the Cushites are.

Nilotics are like hybrid Cushites with Bantu admixture lol
Cushites are actually a by-product of proto Nilotic and Eurasians but that mixed occurred over 10 thousand years ago.No, we're not.
Nilotics in South Sudan have 20% Niger-Congo genes, but our proto-Nilotic ancestors without this admixture were not Cushites; the proto-Nilotes and the Cushites have a common ancestor but we are not descendants of Cushites.
We are a stand-alone population -- and an old one at that.

I don't think that's trueI read that Cushites existed prior to any admixture with either Eurasians and proto-Nilotes and that those particular Cushites have common ancestry with pro-Nilotes.
It's not that simple. Remember that North-East Africans also carry high amounts of MENA Ancestry. Therefore, some North-East Africans will have completely Caucasoid Skulls and have no Black African traits like Bulbous/pronounced foreheads etc.![]()
it's our trademark, and anyone who doesn't have it is a non-native .

I should've been more specific in regards to the type of Black African group this racial trait is most prevalent which are East Africans, but I have seen West Africans with that forehead trait IRL.A prominent forehead is not a universal 'Black African' trait. I've noticed you have a tendency to group them all together without much differentiation and I sort of wonder if it's because you're a MENA emphasis on the NA-phile. If anything among various West African populations they barely have foreheads with little to no presence of protrusion.
I digress, this isn't a trait I possess it's more of a stereotype and not exactly universal among Horners.
Ancient omotics were native east Africans. When Cushites began migrating to the east, some started to mix with omotics and nilotics living in east Africa. Omotics most likely borrowed their afro asiatic language from Cushites. So omotics aren't the oldest afro asiatic race because they inherited some the Eurasian DNA they carry from Cushites.I'll try to find the source on this.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Omotic the oldest Afro-Asiatic branch? Omotics don't seem to have substantial Eurasian introgression and are likely representative of what the first Cushites looked like.
