Maybe some Somalis found the lineage of an Arab patriarch/sheikh or something and just ran with it.gurey25 wrote:genetics studies are interesting..
i believe nearly none of the tests targeted somalis from a particular area of clan,
but they used the average results.
somalis as an average across all clans carry something like 70% e3b1 haplotype on the y chromosone
and e3b1 is native to somalis as we have the highest percentage in the world,
meaning we are homogenous and old.. only the borana come close.
the tests also show we share 5% with other africans including nilotes and bantus
and the rest is eurasian..
on the maternal side there is also eurasian and african as well.
this leaves the arab patriachs story enough room to work with.

But we are not a mixed race...we're an OLD group of people....
Dude, those white Syrians, Palestinians, Lebanese are all Greek or Turkish mixed...gurey25 wrote:and you shouldnt mix looks and appearance with ancestry.
you have no problem with a blonde blue eyed syrian being an arab een though those features are uncharecteristic, but you have a problem with a sudanese black man bieng an arab.
isnt this just prejudice?
sudanese are are mixutre of different groups, arab tribes, and non arab muslim tribes like the zhagawa in darfur. the majority of sudananse northerners are arabized cushites who are not geneologically arab.
the same with egypt.. egyptians are not arab only a small minority come from arab tribes..
a zanzibari bantu looking fellow can also be an arab becuase he traces his decent from an arab patriach as well....
I question the accuracy of that survey, they sampled only about 200 individuals and didn't list their clans.dawwa9 wrote:78% of the Somalis are E3b1 - meaning native to the Horn of Africa

the remaining part is 5% Bantu genetically and 17% Middle Eastern genitally.
