Rare colorized historical Somali pictures 🇸🇴

Ehh, they look very different from "intermediates". You do realise we are already 60 madow mixing with a bantu will make that product 70-80 madow. Many Black Americans are already 30 european on average for example

I don't see how us being 60% madow negates anything. They have features that can be found in both Horners and Eastern Bantus while also being located right in the middle where you'd imagine the two groups would interact. It wouldn't be odd for a mixed group to develop in the area just like Banaadiris did would it?

Also keep in mind Eastern Bantus are already Cushitic admixed. Kikuyus are around 30% Cushitic for example.

Ok fair enough, didn't know that eastern bantus were already cushitic admixed.

They're a Swahili speaking ethnic group who claim to be the original inhabitants of Kimsayo. They don't look like other Swahili groups though, more like intermediates between Bantus and Horn Africans. It'll be interesting to get a DNA study on them sometime.

The 17% Western Eurasian comes from assimilated Cushitic groups. Cushitic sourced Eurasian admixture can be found as far as South Africa in some Khoisan groups. South Cushites expanded really far during the iron age

what would it take to assimilate them and make them 45-55% Eurasian ? Like horn Africans

Btw, these people in the pictures aren't even ethnically Somali, aside from the Ogaden man and even he's maariin. We can't judge the variety in ethnic Somali skintone based on non-Somalis.

You can't their population is too large. Deport a chunk say 70% to central and south Africa and leave the remainder to be assimilated by incoming cushites.

Exactly. He’s acting like they just came out of nowhere

Walahi I get suspicious about some of the comments on this forum, since when are lightskinned Somalis an anomaly??

I mean, we are 38 Eurasian actually. "45" is our MENA ancestry, which had minor SSA.

Everyone in recorded history lived in “huts”
