But isn't this kind of crazy though? Sure, I have a little bit of Bantu in me, but I don't think I'm that close to Rendille

Rendille can be modeled as 4/5 Cushites and 1/4 Nilote since they mixed with the Samburu In Northern Kenya they are very close to Somalis some suggest they are Proto-Somalis who migrated southwards

Rendille are less Eurasian than Somalis due to admixture with Nilotic tribes, this is why you are closer to them. Your West Eurasian & Sub-Saharan African ratio is most similar to them.

What is the Eurasian/Nilotic breakdown of the Rendille

I thought Rendille have on average 10% more Nilotic ancestry than Somalis, how would he be closer to them? Unless the sample used for the Rendille is from some of the more pure ones.

Btw, is the East African Pastoralist on IllustrativeDNA 54/46 with the higher number being Eurasian or is it an even split 50/50?
