    GENETICS Somali Founder Effect & Genetic Diversity

    It seems that the average Somali is more inbred than the product of a normal second cousin marriage, and FROH (measure of inbreeding) of 0.015 for children of second cousins and a higher higher 0.018 for the average Somali. This is apparently due to present day preference for consanguineous...

    Can we say the male line is a determining factor when it comes to identity

    In old times Arab and Somali and Islamic culture it is the male line that defines ones ethnic and group. Of course this is also Islamically re-enforced. Some other cultures in the world also hold this view. Now can we say this is backed by science? We all know paternal Haplogroups is a...

    GENETICS Who are the Natufians?

    And what is there relationship to modern Somalis? What did their genetic makeup look like? I’ve seen many on this forum mentioning them, but I can’t really find much online about this civilisation. Are all Northeast Africans related to them?

    Question about innate Somali talent

    I’ve been seeing some clips of IAAF and other similar leagues for athletes. I want to know is this athletic prowess hiding in Somalis? or it’s restricted to Oromo-Kalenjin and their related brethren whose blood remained in some Eritreans/ Sudanese

    Barely African?

    So my sister did this 23andme thing and it turned out she is barely African. I can’t post her results here because she doesn’t want that, which is understandable. So basically it goes like this: 26% Sub Saharan Africa 21% Middle East 30.1% Iberia 20.2% Native American

    Do Somalis have cousin marriage?

    So I've recently watched a disturbing and sad documentary on the effects of inbreeding in the British Pakistani communities. Even in the UK , they marry their first cousin.
