My DNA results are in..

[Xamud.]

How accurate are these tests? I`m gonna take one and if I end up hailing from Jugoslavia or India or some shit I`m gonna retire from Somalinet like my good friend Dawwa.

My bad but my point is you get tested to see your own individual origins.

Duh.

[Voltage]

If I take that test and it tells me I am Jew and and my mtdna is a gypsy marker I won't loose sleep over it, but you would throw yourself of a high rise building if the results don't come out a certain way.

Jews have both J and E3b, actually equally so you would be related to them either way. I admit if my results don't come back a certain way, it will give me a pause because it would throw my whole clan origins or the origins of clans itself into doubt. But I doubt that will stop me. What do I have to be concerned about to want to continue to believe I am of Arab Darood descent if I am really of indigenous descent? Nothing, I shall take the test soon.

Out of a group of 201 randomly selected SOMALIS in Denmark there was only 1 guy with my marker.

I’m going to contact that Danish university tomorrow in order to find out what he was, hopefully they will help me out.

Yeah sure, they will give his name and address to a guy calling from the Middle East.

The fuck is wrong with you?

Dawaa by your trolling you have just confirmed what you got.

You are your own person, you have your own story to write on this earth it's best not live of the history of others, hailing from eponymous Arab Sheikhs does not make you more noble than the next Somali or any human for that matter. I can understand how you could be frustrated but I know the chances of Somali people all coming from 4 or 5 clans is ridiculous.

My (hopefully) fellow J2 carrier,

I will jus try to track down those professors or lab people in charge of that research back in 2005. I will just ask them if they could contact him (they must have kept names or something) for me and tell him I share the same Y-marker and as we are both from Somalia there is a high probability of being related.

What if the guy turns out to be a Bantu-somali or something

Sxb I am a believer in sunlight is the best disinfectant. Clans are the central piece of Somalia's disintegration. What if the truth was gotten to about it and it was found out historically, the origins of clans is not blood but conditioning? What's better than that for the Somali people? Already Dawaa was the biggest hater on indigenous Somalis yet today knows his origins is no different than the Hawiye and even the young Fah he told would be pointless in taking the test because he would be automatically indigenous? If I can sponsor every Somali to take this I would wallahi.

Scan the results and post it. Don't lie about DNA, why lie about it, if you spend all this money, to find the truth?

But if you are really that, then it tells that, not all Somali tribes are authentic one family tribe, with in Majeerten, they will be some E1b1b1, J1, J2 etc, it tells you that this tribal thing is just something oral, and not some thing related by blood.

But if you resutls are true, then you are more likely to be from Yibir or Madhiibaan, and not actually Majeerteens. and they are considered Jews.

I'll let you know of my own findings as promised. I ordered my kit a short while ago through the link you gave me, expecting it within 2 weeks.


I'm pretty sure I'll be J1, that's what my gut tells me.

I understand your reasoning and it's not a bad idea, but the results might entail even more ethnocentrism among Somalis.

If you are J1 I'm not related to you at all for thousands of years.

You must have the J2 Cohanim marker

I'm reading this, which makes me even more confused:

Ethnocentrism fosters common nationality since we are a one-ethnic state. It is a step in the right direction. As long as the prism of loyalty moves from clans to ethnicity, it is a positive endeavor.
