According to peer reviewed qpAdm autosomal study, Somalis are approximately modelled as 60-70% Arab Bedouin, with the rest being from Sub Saharan Africa (Dinka/Mursi-like).

@Sahelian221@Dark_8io Firstly, Somalis don’t predate Arabs. Arab is mentioned by name approximately 2900 YBP, and Somali is first mentioned by name around 600 YBP. Secondly, J1 isn’t the only Arab haplogroup. Thirdly, Somali tribes can go name by name and Arabs documented it in books. Also, the DNA 🧬
@Sahelian221@Dark_8io 2 of the majority clans definitely claim to paternally descend from an Arab man (oral tradition) who arrived during the medieval period. Estimates show close to 1/2 of Somalis claim descent to an Arab male (paternally). This is sufficient for someone to be labelled as an Arab.
@Jonas99cJonas@kijana_misa Read the TMRCAs and computed migrations of the sub-clades that isolate with Somalis. They’re literally from the Middle Ages. That’s not ancient. Who taught you this falsehood? Check what I post. I provide evidence after evidence. I don’t make it up.
@Dark_8io@Sahelian221 1) Richard Jobson (English), 1623.
2) Pieter De Marees (Dutch), 1602.
3) Andrew Battell (English), 1589.
4) John Barbot (French/English), 1678.
As for the “no Horner is Arab” accusation. ⬇️
@acidnegroe@unicornfart885 Sheikhal and Ahsaraf have Arab origins. The Somalis who cry and make these claims suffer from Arab phobia. There’s also no reason to have Arab phobia, which means that they might be using their Arab trauma as motivation to slander people.
Sad that Ogaden regional Arabic is going to die off because none of the new generation is willing to pass it on and the few Arab origin tribes that speak it have immigrated to the west(sheikhal and asharaf) kind of sucks
@bramsmdn Genetic distance has to do with autosomal similarity. You could be genetically close to another group and not descend from them, but have common ancestors. You
Could be genetically distant from another group and genuinely descend from them.
@Abdulah_AWL253 Caucasoid was a racial classification based on skull measurements. They considered Somalis to be Caucasoid because the skull measurements aligned closer to other groups.
@curlyaram@Darren76780228@KSKmalii Identity is paternal and you don’t even have strong evidence of that. Somalis are descendants of Eurasians from Arabia who mixed with Africans after migrating to Africa.
