I was always (and still am) one of the major voices against the ana Arab idiots in Arabic speaking twitter but here's another Arab sample from Bani Tamim one of the biggest tribes in Najd. Most Saudi Arabian samples belonging to both haplogroups E-V32 and E-V12 in general belong to that tribe and they are (Saudi Arabian E-V32 & E-V12 samples) almost entirely located in Najd region. The most prominent tribe yet under E-V12 is Bani Tamim of the abandoned town of Qufar which was according to British travellers the wealthiest town in the region. This is strange because I have noted that Somali culture is closer to Nejdi culture than Yemen culture, southern Saudi Arabian and even Hijazi culture is. This was even pointed out by British travellers who been to both places in the 19th century. Could it be that Somalis have influenced that place culturally not the other way around?
