Understanding Somali Genetics

[Shimbiris]

The lack of diversity @Shimbiris

@giire12 Ina adeer, you must be one dhega cas looking Lander, almost as Eurasian as my mixed son

?? What in the name of cherrypicking is this nonsense? 90% of the samples you've displayed are just the typical Puntland samples from all the studies then it's you, your dad, some Marehan, some southerner and a couple of clearly outliers from the northwest? This is your idea of diversity? Niyahow, stop being silly and @-ing me in such things.

Our Garaad's diversity:

I've seen hundreds of samples from all the regions since before you even entered the population genetics sphere and yes; 90%+ of Somalis cluster pretty tightly regardless of region in terms of MENA to SSA scores as the above pretty much imparts, and you know it. Sorry @The alchemist and myself ruined your "uber Arabian ancestry diversity" belief in that other thread but don't bother me with this kind of nonsense again, please.

He’s fighting for 3% Arabian dna

Ina adeer, I was even more surprised, your child Eurasian is around 3 % higher than mine. I am assuming his maternal side has alot of tawariq north african berber. Northern high mountains Amazigh have significant Eurasian compared to Sourthern Amazigh and tawariq (Tuareg) but the southerns have higher Arabian. So maybe it averaged out to 55% for your child. I was assuming his 65 to 70% Eurasian. I did simple mathematics, lets say he has 19% Eurasian from your side (38% × 50%), that leaves 37% from his maternal side, so his maternal side is 74% Eurasian (37×2).

His mother considering IBM’s ANA ancestry & West African ancestry is only around 80% MENA. Perhaps only 75% True West Eurasian removing ANA from the Natufians as well.

As for me, wallahi I look like any other Somali, it's only at work Eritreans at first speak with me tigrenya, i have to tell them i'm somali. Genetics is funny, some of my siblings look like olive skin yemenis the rest are typical horn africans like me. Your son probably looks like a light skin yemani or a North Sudanese tribes that mixed with Egyptians, places like Aswan.

Phenotype definitely doesn’t correlate with genetics sometimes as I mostly get mistakened as a Northern Horner and sometimes Sudanese/Egyptian-Nubian. Despite being far less West Eurasian than them.

My son looks like a Somali influenced Southern Maghrebi from the Sahara. He is quite light skinned with dark brown curly hair.

Ty, and also by standards I would be considered to be southern, but then again my results are very similar to galmudug samples

Mashallah ina adeer, ilahi ubadka haku xifdiyo. Your analysis is supported with evidence which is why I was always intrigued to see where your research ends up. I will also add one point ignored by many DNA centralised theory of thought people. I am talking about many on this forum who are too stubborn to adjust their theory when presented with new evidence.

Here is my point of concern. There are many outliers appearing all of a sudden. Before, it was rare, but my recent research I privately did suggested there is far more diversity appearing recently. My second concern is the sample size of Somali:Somalia, Somali:Ethiopia and Somali:Kenya. What is this Somali n=2, Somali n=6, Somali n=12 and etc? Is it individual sample or a group of regional sample? All of these need to be answered.

These averages are collected by a former user from the forum Anthrogenica. I’m pretty sure the two “Ethiopia” samples are two Ashraaf (son & mother). So they definitely don’t represent that large and diverse region from the Northern Ciise in Sitti to the Garre of Moyale.

Sudanese and IBM lol, your model is flawed. Why are you using a modern Somali as a reference when we have ancient Pastoral_N samples that are definitively known to lack any Arabian ancestry? Even the model you presented fails to demonstrate homogeneity, as both “Sudanese” and IBM exhibit significant individual variation.
Somali genetic diversity is shaped by two components, Mota and IA Arabian, with regional differences influencing their proportions.
