I’ve been attempting to increase my knowledge on Somali genetics, and wanted to test it by posting my OWN understanding of it so far. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.
Somali haplogroups- primarily e1b1b dominated by the ev32 subclade and a minority of T-L208 which is Semitic in nature and primarily found amongst a the Dir with some Isaaq also possessing it. E comes from our natufian ancestors- also a minority of J-
Somalias maternal haplogroup is mainly a series of L haplogroups which are purely African and from South Sudan I believe found amongst the nilotes.
In conclusion Somalis are a mix of two Eurasian groups Natufian/levant - E haplogroup , North African however I’m unsure of the haplogroup they brought. And 3 sub Saharan African groups- Nilotes, ancestral East Africans and a lil omotic.
Please understand I have a surface level understanding of this and only posted so people can correct me and expand my understanding. I do not wish to spread misinformation.
