Not a poor comparison at all. Both my father and I fall in the average. In fact there are Southerners who are less West Eurasian than my father and I who show no Mota or Neolithic Iranian. So again your theory that no diversity among Somalis exist falls flat. One can have Mota or recent Arabian ancestry and still fall within the general range from Somaliweyn. You are ignoring or even rejecting the idea of regional differences despite this being the case. So someone from a region that tends to be less West Eurasian than let’s PL folks but has recent Yemeni admixture in the last 5 generations can end up looking very similar to PL Somalis and atleast appear pure which is what’s happening with my mother.
Below is a good example of Somalis with real outside autosomal admix:
Kenyan Somalis: Not all "Borana admixed"
I've strangely encountered a few people online who have gone off the deep-end with Lazaridis et al.'s Kenyan Somali samples and used the...
Notice how with them it also shows in their admixture levels being plainly off the average. Now, explain logically how someone can be 5-10% more Yemeni than other Somalis yet still fall within the normal ~2% variation of Somali admixture. That’s impossible.
And let’s be serious, walaal—bringing up DNA matches doesn’t prove anything in this context. Matches simply show shared segments, not that your autosomal breakdown reflects recent admixture. If your admixture levels fit within the Somali norm, then you cannot have real, recent foreign ancestry. Not even recombination could explain that.
I have verified everything even on qpadm. My Mota & father’s Mota on qpadm & G25 were similar. My mother also has extra Yemeni/W.Eurasian compared to me and my father on qpadm & G25z So unless you are willing to throw out qpadm because it doesn’t fit your theory then I don’t know what other tool you can use. Only PCAs?
Bruh what
they never identified as cushitic nor knew they are perceived as cushitic
We belong to the same cultural region. Even in the early modern era the inhabitants of the Horn, Sudan, Southern Egypt (Lower Nubia) and Chad largely dressed in that white-robes motif:
The Tobe, or Abyssinian “Quarry,” is the general garment of Africa from Zayla to Bornou. In the Somali country it is a cotton sheet eight cubits long, and two breadths sewn together. An article of various uses, like the Highland plaid, it is worn in many ways; sometimes the right arm is bared; in cold weather the whole person is muffled up, and in summer it is allowed to full below the waist. Generally it is passed behind the back, rests upon the left shoulder, is carried forward over the breast, surrounds the body, and ends hanging on the left shoulder, where it displays a gaudy silk fringe of red and yellow. This is the man’s Tobe. The woman’s dress is of similar material, but differently worn: the edges are knotted generally over the right, sometimes over the left shoulder; it is girdled round the waist, below which hangs a lappet, which in cold weather can be brought like a hood over the head. Though highly becoming, and picturesque as the Roman toga, the Somali Tobe is by no means the most decorous of dresses: women in the towns often prefer the Arab costume,—a short-sleeved robe extending to the knee, and a Futah or loin-cloth underneath. -First footsteps in East AfricaEgypt, Sudan & Chad:

I strongly suspect that by its strong resemblance to Ancient Nubian and Egyptian reliefs this style of dressing is thousands of years old and it may have also once been just as common in Arabia as well given the Hajj dress-code and some examples I've seen of Bedouin attire across Arabia around the 19th century.
Haa, but the (modern) Sudanese had no concept of cushinimo, most of them, as expected, don't feel connected to horn Africans through cushitinmo.All the groups under the linguistic grouping of Cushitic did in fact practice a very similar culture just a hundred years ago right down to their clothes:
They were also definitely in regular contact and aware of one another and their affinities at least just based on looks and vibes. When Sayyid Maxamed Cabdulle Xasan was starting out with his movement he saw the Mahdi of Sudan as inspiration and the Brits mention in their accounts of fighting the Daraawiish that there even men from Sudan among the Somalis fighting:

Our ancestors even practiced "racism" when practicing slavery and treated Oromo slaves better than Bantu ones. And this is to say nothing of how outsiders pretty much perceived us all as a cultural block:
Rome empire trading with somalis
Watch this video in the end the Roman had traded with somalis. Watch how they describe the Somali people as unruly 😂 cause they can’t conquer us and they called us barberoi or barber.www.somalispot.com
You were right when you said that the samples that turned 12% Arabian were wrongly designated.
What study was this?
It was Covid research. The writings showed a broad PCA analysis, but it had no resolution and the study never mentioned anything ethno-specific about Somalis. Someone got the data and roughly parsed out the samples.
