You are wrong, actually read the genetic studies done on them which were posted above by others. I recommend you also check out this blog by Somali researcher Awale Ismail, from his article entitled [B]South Cushitic Admixture in Southeast Africa[/B].
“The Maasai, for example, tend to be about ~50% Cushitic, the Datog even exceed that percentage while various other populations such as the Kikuyu in Kenya and countless other Bantu speaking groups in Southeast Africa also have Cushitic admixture all owed to a South Cushitic source/ something ancestral and similar to the Iraqw who are among the last few remnants of what was arguably a much bigger subbranch of the Cushitic branch. Many of them such as the Maasai have even taken on Cushitic customs such as the one outlined above. That same practice of drinking cattle blood with milk is one that was utilized by Bejas (North Cushites) in Northern Sudan as early as 100 BCE as noted by the geographer Artemidorus. It was also utilized by Somalis (East Cushites) as early as 800-900 CE during the Middle Ages as noted by a Chinese source of the time. [4] It’s also apparently, a generally known Cushitic custom.

Once we have established that the Maasais are genetically more cushites than anything else, what next ? They get upgraded from regular Niggeraguans to Sand Niggeraguans or what ?
My question, Europeans were classified by their looks, the Nordics, Slaves, Mediterranean and so on.
Why did the Anthropologist use different measure in Africa ?
ALL Somali people and the rest of mankind can be certain of one thing - They are mortal, dust to dust.
So sorry to those who believe an Arab is higher than Negro or European is higher than Arab or Negro. Neither the appearance of skin colour nor hair curls grants the status of divinity. Classifications empty bones…
Old Somalis looked no different from Sudanese. They were just as tall and dark with kinky hair. Google Somalis in the 1900. Of course they intermarried with arabic and yemeni women hence the change in appearance over time. However the paternal DNA didn’t change much.
They were classified under nilohamites by early colonialists . Its we Kenyans who changed it after colonialism thinking they would be favoured because of the classification.
Southern cushites are not somalis. They mixed with many nilotic groups including samburu and maasai. Y’all trying hard to claim them for your little expansion outside your desert NFD. You’re probably one of those low iq somali incels that cry about bantu expansion and alleged genocide of southern cushites and pygmies by bantus. :D:D
The bantus got the best places in africa. No wonder these zoomalis and horners are always crying about us. Next should be making them uncomfortable in our spaces.
You are not wrong. The white man who did this classification was mainly using guesswork or a few words or vowels spoken by different people and then he classified them.
no they cant lol, goddamn you kenyans have no clue what you’re talking about and literally just say stuff Maasai or Maa is an Eastern Nilotic language spoken in Southern Kenya and Northern Tanzania by the Maasai people, numbering about 800,000.
So are African Americans Germanic Caucasians. English is their native language, right?
The Suba who were assimilated by Luos, did they stop being bantus?
