What is the most defining somali defining feature? Or which combinations of features?

[Ape]

What is this meant to prove?

He has clear caucasian features. Remember, skin doesnt DEFINE race

 

[SOMALI GENERAL]

That’s true. My dad had a big fro
growing up and as he got older his hair got straight. I think it’s because our hair is so fine that it loses density and volume quickly, resulting in straight hair as you age.

One thing for sure, I’ve never met a Somali with Madow hair. And by Madow I don’t mean unkept curly hair but really tough hair.

I know many Somalis that were born with straight hair, including myself & my family. Like this young Somali kid:

We are a beautiful people Masha'allah.

That's like 1 in 20 Somalis. Most have timo adag or curly hair but not like Madow it's a soft fro.

I’d say, from all the Somalis I met...

We all tend to have skinny wrists and ankles. No matter the size. High cheekbones. And small eyes.

I don't have a small wrist and I'm not fat but just built so not every Somali is the same.

The Somali phenotype is

• Caucasian facial features
• Soft and thin hair
• Tall people
• We all come in different shades of skin colour.
• We all come in different sizes like other people.

I think what makes us Somali is our unique look and being Muslims is how people can tell we're Somalis.

Do you live under a rock? I dont know what "Somalis" you've been living around, but the Somali kid i posted above has the common hair type that pure Somalis have.

 

[CaliTedesse]

Most Somalis have curly hair or soft fro woolly hair.

Somalis with soft woolly fro and curly hair are pure Somalis.

 

[CaliTedesse]

As I said soft woolly fro or curly hair

 

[SOMALI GENERAL]

Somalis with soft woolly fro and curly hair are pure Somalis.

Curly & straight hair are both traits of pure Somalis. Why can't we just embrace both?

 

[SOMALI GENERAL]

As I said soft woolly fro or curly hair

That hair type is uncommon & is due to Madow admixture

 

[CaliTedesse]

Yes but most have soft curly hair or soft fro

 

[Snake]

"uncommon"

 

[SOMALI GENERAL]

Yes but most have soft curly hair or soft fro

I disagree, a lot the of guys in the pics you've posted have Madow admixture. You're not even showing the Somalis with curly hair lol. Anyways the most common hair type amongst Somalis is jileec straight hair, lets just leave it at that.

So if most Somalis have that hair, why did all Somalis used to rock afros? And why is the afro a traditional Somali hairstyle? You cant brush that kinda hair into an afro

 

[GBTarmy]

according to a test, this is the average face of Somalis by gender.

What do you guys think?

Again your bias for Madow is showing. Just because there are old pics of Somali men with afros doesn't make them "pure" there are many old pics of Somalis with the typical jileec straight hair, but thats besides the point. Pure Somalis have jileec straight hair whether you like it or not.

I agree I know many Somalis that look like this.

Yes thats very accurate

 

[CaliTedesse]

Somalis rock woolly afros naturally or straight hair or long curly hair or curly fros. but this dude is trying to hide Somalis have woolly hair
