Its amazing how Pontikos left ot that "sub-Saharans" like Somalis, Sudanese, Ethiopians and even some Kenyans have E3b1. Those are all sub-Saharans. Your contention that Somalis are Sub-Saharan genetically is inaccurate. "The data suggest that the male Somali population is a branch of the East African population - closely related to the Oromos in Ethiopia and North Kenya - with predominant E3b1 cluster γ lineages that were introduced into the Somali population 4000-5000 years ago, and that the Somali male population has approximately 15% Y chromosomes from Eurasia and approximately 5% from sub-Saharan Africa." dienekes.blogspot.com/2005/03/y-haplogroup-e3b1-in-somali-males.htmlAs shown in Fig. 1, the Somalis and the Egyptian Bronze Age sample from Naqada may also have a hint of a Sub-Saharan African component. www.pnas.org/cgi/reprint/0509801102v1

When those samples are separated and run in a single analysis as in Fig. 1, there clearly is a tie between them that is diluted the farther one gets from sub-Saharan Africa"

"Although the Horn of Africa is considered a geographic part of sub-Saharan Africa, we have analysed the Somali population separately in order to be able to compare the results with previously published data from other African populations."
