Cushites with different hair colours

[chut]

Idk how this is possible because I thought pure subsaharan africans couldn't have hair colours that weren't black naturally. Maybe they might be mixed or maybe their hair has been dyed with henna but i'm not too sure because melanesians can have blonde hair naturally from a different gene that causes blonde hair in europeans even though they're dark skinned. Even east asians don't have these hair colours naturally.

Half of my siblings have caramel brown hair, not sure how common it is across Somalis though.

A majority of the children that come to Education Plus are hungry and malnourished. The meal that they receive at our school may be the only meal they receive that day, and some may not receive me…

Idk that might be true for the blonde afar boy and brown hair somali boy that I posted but the red hair somali boys hair looks more natural to me.

A lot of dadaab kids have blonde hair, it is from the scorching sun.

So does this only happen to cushites or does it happen to gulf arabs aswell since they live in a hotter climate than us.

We definitely have the gene for brown hair. My son has it despite his mother being the brown haired between us. Also seen a half Somali kid online who had blonde hair so the Somali father definitely had some light hair color genes in him

You do know even malcolm x had red hair and coloured eyes even though he was half african american and half white so i'm not suprised by half somalis getting these hair colours I only get suprised when full somalis do.

His mother was half Caribbean half Scottish and his father was AA but Black Caribbean’s and AAs already have Euro ancestry embedded in them. Malcom X could have easily been only 50% West/Central African. That’s like Dominican level of African ancestry

I don’t know why you are surprised that Somalis who descend from a Neolithic Levantine descended North African population carries genetics for light colored hair. Many Somalis carry these genes recessively

So why don't gulf arabs get these hair colours when they have the most natufian dna

All I've ever seen was that a kid I grew up with used to have a slight brown-ish hue of his short hair when he was young. All that time I thought it was like that because he was dirty or something.

Some Arabs from Sham have natural blonde and red hairs, never seen Somalis with these hairs naturally.

I said gulf arabs meaning below sham not levantines, levantines are basically like gulf arabs but with ancient greek and roman admixture similar to how ethio semites are cushites with extra gulf arabian admixture.

 

[Garaad Awal]

So why don't gulf arabs get these hair colours when they have the most natufian dna

They do even the very pure heavily Natifian Mahra in Yemen & Oman have it as well. You can find it more easier among the mountain Northern Yemenis too although they tend to have less Natufian than the Mahra & Bedouin Saudi tribesmen.

Levantines don’t have Roman or Greek admixture. Muslim Palis/Jordanians from the farming communities are mostly locals with Arabian,SSA & in some parts Egyptian ancestry. The Bedouin Jordanians & Palestinians are mostly identical to the Saudis.

Lebanese & Western Syrians are mostly Phonecian-like with Muslims having extra admixture from Mesopotamia, Kurds, Turkmen & SSA.

I get what you're saying, I meant to say mix of natufians (ancestors of gulf arabs) and anatolian farmers(ancestors of greeks). According to dna they are an ancient mix mainly consisting of anatolian neolithic farmer, natufian, and zagros farmer.

Wouldn't a half gulf arab half greek cluster with a levantine the same way a half somali half gulf arab clusters with ethio semites?

Half Somalis Half Yemeni wouldn’t plot with Habeshas. My son is half Maghrebi Arab who are more African and even he doesn’t plot with the Habeshas. Half Arabian Half Somalis would plot with Eastern Maghrebi Arab outliers & the highly Arab Sudanese Arab tribes/individuals
