The Bronze Age T sample was not meant to be related to the Somali T. It was meant to understand the overall migration patterns of T carriers. It’s quite clear the Arabs, Somalis and other nomadic groups went through a heavy bottleneck. We see this with E-M81 in North Africa. It was absent during the Mesolithic era. R1b/a in Indo Europeans. Before them Europe was G dominant.Come on man you know that bronze age lineage aint gonna be related to us. Check out T-CTS11451, you'll see tons of arabs on their. if a deep subclade is found in that sample you know its gonna be under that.
It originating from the fertile crescent doesnt mean that it had to go through the arabian peninsula into HOA. And even if it did, why don't we see alot of samples along the migratory path? The arabian peninsula is oversampled and even if it did venture their in low frequency, just by the tribal nature of arabs, some tribes will go through founder effects. Also that region never went through massive population change, the relative population group is static, so why aren't the descendents of the sabaeans, himyars, hadramis, adnanis positive for T-Y45591?
Sabeans, Himyarite etc were quite recent. By then the peninsula was already J1 dominant. Adnan was meant to be from 1 singular person from Ismaeel (as) so no wonder we get J1 FGC12 dominant among Adnan. Saba himself was from one male
Ibn Jarir recorded that Farwah bin Musayk Al-Ghutayfi, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "A man said, `O Messenger of Allah! Tell me about Saba' -- what was it, a land or a woman' He said:
«لَيْسَ بِأَرْضٍ وَلَا امْرَأَةٍ، وَلَكِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ وُلِدَ لَهُ عَشَرَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ، فَتَيَامَنَ سِتَّةٌ وَتَشَاءَمَ أَرْبَعَةٌ، فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ تَشَاءَمُوا: فَلَخْمٌ وَجُذَامٌ وَعَامِلَةُ وَغَسَّانُ، وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ تَيَامَنُوا: فَكِنْدَةُ وَالْأَشْعَرِيُّونَ وَالْأَزْدُ وَمَذْحِجٌ وَحِمْيَرُ وَأَنْمَار»
(It was neither a land nor a woman. It was a man who had ten children, six of whom went Yemen and four of whom went Ash-Sham. Those who went Ash-Sham were Lakhm, Judham, `Amilah and Ghassan. Those who went south were Kindah, Al-Ash`ariyyun, Al-Azd, Madhhij, Himyar and Anmar.) A man asked, `Who are Anmar' He said:
«الَّذِينَ مِنْهُمْ خَثْعَمُ وَبَجِيلَة»
(Those among whom are Khath`am and Bajilah. )" This was recorded by At-Tirmidhi in his Jami` Sunan in more detail than this; then he said, "This is a Hasan Gharib Hadith."
