So he would cluster around Eritreans/beja/sudanese Arabs/nubians genetically?, technically he’s still in the horn African cluster albeit on the polar end relative to Somalis.

He is more West Eurasian than the Northern Horners & Nubians but he clusters with those highly Arabian Sudanese Arabs & Maghrebi Arab outliers.
What NA outliers are that SSA shifted? To my knowledge they are 15-20% SSA at most.

There are many that are close to my son. Outliers from Libyan Arabs, Algerian Arabs, & Southern Moroccans. These pops are also Natufian rich vs Berber SSA outliers.
He is quite distant from those heavily IBM Southern Maghrébis that also have significant SSA ancestry like the Tuareg due to my son’s mother has low IBM ancestry (22% vs Tuaregs ~40%).
Is ur wife on the more Eurasian shifted coastal NAs cluster?

No she is typical of the Arabs of the Western Maghreb. They are more Natufian (due to Arab ancestry) and more West African admixed on average. My wife is only half Arab from her father and carries 17% Natufian & 11% West African. She is Jewish,Andalusi & Northern Berber from her mother side.
I was surprised when I discovered the distance between Somalis and other horn African groups. As there are no groups we overlap with, since most ethnic groups that share similar languages,culture and are from the same region etc overlap on a cluster European subgroups/indian subgroups. On for instance illustrative dna many groups have 10 groups that are ethnically indistinguishable genetically, but with Somalis the nearest groups are like 5. @Garaad Awal why is that?, also there is no language that is mutually intelligible to Somali in the region?, were Somalis isolated from other horn African groups genetically for more than three millennia.
