The lack of camels, the lack of metallurgy, the presence of giraffes, elephants and slavery at this time... it's been a<br />long time since I wrote this article but I'm still quite certain none of that adds up as northern Somali territory.

Northern Somaliland's were abundant with Elephants just read accounts of British men the Harawa valley where they spent lot of time elephant hunting and there were even elephant hunters there. This is around Harar region where also the irreligious Oromo were and giraffes. It fits imo well with Somali northern area Karbaasherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11777046053265839892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4186229413936536043.post-21109196981155539812019-03-17T21:06:30.708+04:002019-03-17T21:06:30.708+04:00Nice post, I would just like to remind you to take...Nice post, I would just like to remind you to take into account the fact that wild animal population can decrease or go extinct due to climate fluctuation as well as human involvement. As recent as the late 1800s to early 1900s most of the wild animals mentioned by the Chinese dude were found in the North but these days I would not be surprised if there aren't any Elephants left even in the densely forested areas of lower Jubba.

I'd say the earliest signs of our ancestors, whether there's a direct path between us and them in the Erythraeic (Cushitic) language branch or not, come with the on-set of the neolithic in what are now Somali territories when you see signs of people practicing pastoralism and later also some forms of farming very similar to what was overall going in various parts of what is now Ethiopia as well as the areas of what are now Sudan & Egypt that I outlined, pointing to our predecessors basically being an eastward extension of a larger set of Erythraeic speaking speaking cultures.<br /><br />This then makes sense with the genomics where it's clear that the overwhelming majority of our ancestry is shared with other Erythraeic and Ethiosemitic speaking Horn-Africans like Habeshas, Oromos and Agaws which points to the fact that we probably are overwhelmingly descended from Erythraeic speakers who in time broke off from the Proto-Agaw-East-South speaking community that broke off from North-Erythraeic speakers more north and basically moved into the Horn during the Neolithic (I'd wager sometime around 3000-5000 BCE):<br /><br />https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2ARnUeK-Y8WZVZ2YndMTUczQW8/view?usp=sharing<br /><br />So, keeping all that in mind, it's not impossible that there were some remnants of the Paleolithic inhabitants of Somalia that our predecessors intermixed with and we now have ancestry from but I honestly doubt it. If such ancestry does exist in us, it's likely quite insignificant. But we'll see in due time.

I was told by a friend that the extinct ones that were in Somalia were tall, had thinner features and were arid climate adapted, do you think it’s possible that you can try finding any samples of these people to check how much of that ancient ancestry somalis today have? I feel that we might have a good amount of that ancestry but since there’s not really much samples of it our autosomal results for our sub saharan african ancestry comes up as just nilotic, it would be amazing if we could find this Paleolithic ancestor of somalia and test how much of it somalis today have, I’ve been told they split from the hadza and sandawe people around 20,000 years agoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
