Weird Haplogroup ?

Enthusiasts come in.

Found this relative on 23andme with this HG.
Any possible idea to how he got it.

He’s 95.5% Somali & 4.5% Ethiopian & Eritrean.

Just found out T-L208 is a sub clade of T-L162

23andme is trying to make it unnecessarily confusing. I'm not very sure but my guess is he could be a Somali that has an older T lineage.

Yeah, he may just be T-L162* or of some brother clade to L208. I can't imagine why they'd not just list him as L208 if that was his clade.

They are sort of lazy when it comes to listing subclades. For some people they report T-M184, others T-L208 and so forth.

Tl262 and tl208 is 3k year difference

You should contact this saxiib if you can convince him to get a Yfull test. If he really is T-L162* then that could be a game changer as we now have a Somali T carrier who is upstream of nearly all the MENAs and Euros Somalis share the clade with. And if it's 23andme just being lazy then I guess that's just another useful Somali L208 saxiib on the tree.

My thoughts exactly. Why didn’t they specify it. There’s a possibility it’s a rare clade of T haplogroup. He told me he’s Habar Awal/Cissa Mussa too.

Me? Yes i am. Samaroon to be exact

Not weird at all.

23andme are not efficient when updating haplogroups as an acquaintance who belongs to the same FTDNA subclade is identified as the older T-M70 subclade on 23andme.

Pretty confident the fellow you listed will come under a Somali downstream subclade if he got tested on Ftdna, probably the Samaron/Isaaq subclade considering his clan background.
