It's possible that the Dir T were urban settlers in Arabia hence there lineage never grew. However its also possible that Dir crossed into Eritrea from Eritrea coast into Arabia, as you have many EV32 eritreans that crossed from Eritrea into Arabia. Also the Iraqi samples are not as much tested as the Gulf, so it could have a quite recent Babalonian origin. But there is no way its from Asia as you guys share recent TMRC from samples that crossed quite recently into Europea.
What do you mean by this? TMRC between Somalis and any Europeans with T-M70 is like 10,000 years.
Yeah but the rahanweyne one is found in other ethnic groups unlike the dir/isaaq one
You are right. They got nothing to do with each other and must have come to the horn at different times just like how J1’s have entered the horn at different points in time.
The rahanwayne sample also has clear connections with the arabian peninsula
Have you ever seen an Iranian with t-l208? Iranians are undersampled but it’s not likely they have any connection with us. They’re more like r1/j2/j1
Dunno but the Mideast went through multiple mass genocides especially during the Bronze Age, maybe T niggas were caught lacking
No I haven't, I'm quite new when it comes to genetics.
The Assyrians were brutal and the Persians did a series of campaigns in the ME coming to as close as Yemen and Egypt. They even knew about the somali city states along the Northern coast and threatened once.
It wasn't found in all raxanweyn but only in mirifle sagaal clans like luwaay and hadame and this makes lineage wise sense, as these clans do infact claim to descend from an arab ancestor umar diin who is said to have lived in harar and was a descendent of abu bakr al sidiqi. I think unlike with Darood their claim to arab origin may have some truth and their T lineage may come form the arab peninsula. But the majority of raxanweyne like eelaay, hariin and so on are EV-32
yes you are right, majority of raxanweyne get E-V32. I even know of a J2 guy from Bay-Bakool Area. The T1 found among the tribes you mentioned are also found among Sudanese and other horn Africans. I doubt it came with the Islamic sheikhs. It has an ancient presence in Africa and most likely came with other middle Easter derived E-CTS10880 and J1 lineages like P56 among others.
