Greater somalia was dream not a real country.

Proto-Somalis were from Somaliland

According to linguists bernd heine and herbert lewis proto somalis are from southern ethiopia and northern kenya region were "rendille" inhabit today.

But I'm talking about Somalis. Greater Somalia may not be a country, but the people who live there are somali

It's outdated, since if that was the case Somalis would be rich in Horner HG ancestry.It seems SL/Eastern Ethiopia is the original homeland of the group that gave birth to Oromos/Konsoid and Somaloids.Different waves of Somaloids going south with the last being Af-Maxaa Somalis.

Somaloids being in Southern Ethiopia wouldn't explain Camel Herding and the non-Arabic Semitic loanwords shared in Af-Maxaa & Rendille

Now I think you are just trolling us.They are descendants of North Cushitic speakers who were the first to branch off of the Cushitic family.They stayed in the Cushitic homeland

An egg fell from the heavens and samaale hatched from it. The original inhabitants were nobody. We were chosen to wonder the brutal deserts of Somaliweyne

I think you should go look for it

This makes a lot of sense.

 

[Dima&Damo]

Why would we go from lush Ethiopia to desert Somalia, makes no sense.

200 years ago somaliyee was more lush imagine 5000 years ago

 

[tariq moses]

Somalis branched off a common ancestor with the Maay people 1500 years ago

These dates are surely too old? This much divergence within cushitic before they even reached the Horn.

 

[AbrahamFreedom]

Somalis (e-v32) came from modern day Sudan who invaded the Horn of Africa, chased away the Oromo, and absorbed the remaining black people (haplogroup T somalis) that lived there.

Somali are as indigenous as any African ethnicity. Dont believe any of the wandering-Caucasoid hypotheses if anything CroMagnon is a wandering Soomaali/African. Dont buy into racialist heories whether they are Afrocentric or Eurocentric

Does it really matter?

Did it matter when white people colonised africa or expanded into the americas and aboriginal lands? did it matter when bantus pushed out the pygmies and expanded into central and south africa?

So why would it even matter if somalis happened to conquer this land? All kidding aside. The oral traditions and recent archaeological discoveries show that somalis inhabited the horn since ancient times. We need more archaeological work to be carried out in somalia.

 

[Mujahid Nur Marehan]

Somali's migrated from southern Africa

You are right, the breakup of the Proto-Cushites probably occured around 8000 ybp
