Like I said, stiff competition, but Cerulli actually did research, you have to give him that.AbuShabab wrote:What about Enrico Cerulli?James Dahl wrote:His book is the least informative and most unreliable one I've read, and that has some stiff competition.

Probably, though who knows? Also what your definition of origins is has a big effect on such questions. Does female descent count? If so, does having more Cushite female ancestors than arab ones make you a Cushite, even if your patrilinearily descended from Darood? But then when you open that question, what ethnicity is anyone?Starscream wrote:I agree you have to see through the bullshit with this Burton dude, but he's right on the money when he says that Somalis are a slice of the Greater Galla nation.
