Genetics Works Funny

Post by Oxy- »

The other day I took my little Nieces & nephews to The park. They started playing games with these other White kids... (At least that what I thought)

The kids had blue eyes n blonde hair... but their skin had the slightest glow of complexion to it (Maybe they went on holiday and had a nice tan)

Afterwards my niece comes up and asks "Can we stay longer" I reply and say "No" then she asks if we can stay at their house I ask "who these white kids... hell no"

Then she says "Noo their not full white.... their hooyo is somali... I know them from my malcaamad" ... I was like WTF :shock:

I told her to stop lying ... then she says wait, let me go and call them... "YUSEF .... Fatima.... Come here"

While the children stopped playing and were on their way towards us... My niece even says "They can speak Somali too.... ask them anything" :shock:

The kids came over... and said "salaama calaykum" I replied "wa calaykum wa salaam" ... then the girl who was older aged maybe 9 said "Magacaa" and smiled :shock:


Minutes later i chatted to the kids.... and my niece was right !!!! :shock: ... these kids could speak Somali (not fluently) but not different from any other full Somali child growing up in the west.


Their white father Must have had some Strong DNA and overpowered their Somali Genes :lol:

A good example is Solange Knowles (Beyonces Younger sister)


Her Ex Husband was Black Like her and their son has much paler skin with Blue eyes

I read a DNA study that said all Caucasians descend from eight women who lived in the area of the Black Sea ten thou sand years ago. They must have come from the two hundred individuals who crossed out of Africa 60,000 years earlier, who were definitely skinnies.

The hypothesis I am working on is that they were so closely related to unmixed modern Somalis that the original mutation remains dominant over the ancestral DNA.

We have seen many other pictures of Somalis mixed with northern Europeans who appear to be pure, or nearly pure, Caucasians. It ain't Diana.

I love DNA studies. :clap:

Somali genes are 5% Sub-Saharan, 15% Eurasian (From Western Asia to be specific) and 80 indigenous to people in the Horn of Africa.

The 80% which compromises the bulk of our genes is extremely recessive, making it almost certain that if somebody Somali has foreign admixture, they will resemble the non-Somali ancestor.

This article has a linguistic rather than a DNA base, but does help place the genetics of the Horn in context:

No, reputable scientists did. It's from a peer-reviewed study.
