The genome and population genomics of allopolyploid Coffea arabica reveal the diversification history of modern coffee cultivars - Nature Genetics

Chromosome-level genome assemblies of allotetraploid Coffea arabica and representatives of its diploid progenitors, Coffea eugenioides and Coffea canephora, provide insights into Arabica’s diversification history.

Somali men didn’t record their history properly. You won’t be credited for this

Furthermore, Somali historians are resorting to tweets rather than trying to get published

Their theories would be excepted under the title of subaltern histories, although challenging the status quo would mean heavy scrutiny

We have Said Shidaad who is doing great work. Sada Mire is doing good stuff, too. There is a guy called Muhammad Artan (Looh press) who has translated some good about Somali scholars from the great Somali/writer Muhammad Macalin. Those Spanish guys and others have more funding. You have to a lot of time and resources to dedicate yourself full time to fields like archeology and history of Somalia.

I know, I wish Somalia was stable so we could have more archaeologists on site. Sada Mire did Some work in SL but Soomaaliweyn is huge

Very interesting. I think they used the word interchangeably for wine and coffee because the word essentially described the same state. Compare to Arabic Sahwa and Shahwa. Very similar morphologically with the latter signifying a desire that overcomes. Very likely that it originally meant something like a ‘dark liquid that overcomes’ or perhaps ‘overcoming darkness’ both psychologically as many do with alcohol or physically with caffeine. This is not purely speculative. Note the ghayn in ‘Qahwa’ usually denotes darkness, as in ghayb and gharb.
