Try mixing a Kenyan and an Arab together, see if they will produce Somali looking offspring. Hint, they won't.
No but if the offspring marries a Kenyan then its a bit darker complexion and might look Somali
Nah, the bantu bone structures often survives when they mix with others. Large nose, head shape, hair, etc. Someone who's half arab-half Kenyan will still look very black, minus the skin color.
My point is Somalis must then be from a unique stock.
Lots of mixed race offspring look Somali after a few generations, its also a matter of diet and climate.
Were not that especially looking. Its hard to get a Scandi look or West African by mixing, but other physical appearances can be achieved with mixing.

Somalis are an ancient mixture, it happened 5,000 years ago. These groups don't exist today.
Europeans are a mixture between European native Hunter-gatherers, Levantines Farmers, and Ukrainian-Central Asian Steppe peoples.
No race is pure if you go back far enough.
So it shouldn't matter then. Somalis are their own group, why should we be labeled as mixed when no race is pure?
Have a look at Somali mtDNA... what on earth did L0 and haplogroup M1a, N1a, I1, R0, K1a have to do with each other? Clearly separated for 100,000s years.
Separate different ancient races have contributed to Somalis.
Somalis do indeed have a unique look. Not even Ethiopians look like us, although they come the closest.
You just said no race is pure. Whatever happened in ancient times is irrelevant today.
we are cushites hamites some would add Caucasians WHICH IS KINDA TRUEBLACK CAUCASIANS HANOLADHAN:siilaanyosmile:I’ve heard multiple opinions regarding this subject, I personally think we’re a pure unique race aboriginal to the horn khoisans look black and asian but they’re pure so I don’t see why we gotta be a different case, I’m not gonna let an cadaan or Madow that didn’t wash their xaar this morning tell me I’m mixed with bantu and arab I’ve seen half bantu half arabs they look nothing like us what do you guys think?
We r either an old Yemeni tribe re-located to Somalia or Egyptian refugee relocated in somalia
The difference between higherlander Ethiopians and Somalis is that highander Ethiopians/Eritreans have Omotic ancestry that Somalis don't (generally more broader features, stocky build, rougher hair) and Semitic Yemenite ancestry (why they are lighter and sometimes have hooked noses).
The rest (65%-85%) is the same.
Euros are a mixture between different kinds of Eurasians.. Somalis are a mixture between pre-OOA and post-OOA groups. The genetic differences were much larger.
Didn’t nilo saharans originate from South Sudan? If we’re mixed wouldn’t it make more geographical sense for our african ancestry to be omotic or something since omotics are from the horn?Modern-day Nilotes have 20%-40% West-Central African ancestry that Cushites don't have. They don't represent the ancestors of Somalis.

Doesn't mean we're Indian or mixed with them.About 40%+ of somlis are T or M Dont even get me started with the other haplogroups somalis carry
Doesn't mean we're Indian or mixed with them.
We share common ancient origins with indigenous Indians. Like these guys (who originate from Sudan 1000's of years ago):
Most Indians are mix between these guys and Persian like people.
