Polanyi Posted November 23, 2010 1. Elongated Cushitics/some nilotics tend to have pointy foreheads. In the Somali case, this is more prevalent as Somalis tend to inter marry and have rarely married other ethnicities. This is in stark contrast with other ethnicties who are more hetrogenous, like the the British, for example. If Britain had remained a Celtic state, it is said more Brtiains would have had ginger hair. However, a mixture of Roman, Scandanvian and french blood means there a variety of gene pools and people with different features. This is non existant in the SOmali gene. We keep the love within the family, save a few minority groups. 2.This is a very sensitive question. Once a school mate of mine was knocking for me early in the morning, when his younger brother,not knowing I was at the top of the stairs, asked him if my house stank. Thankfully, he told him, " not really".So, there must be a perception that SOmalis stink. I don't know where this impression comes from. But I did have an eppihany a year and half ago when a SOmali lady and her family moved next door to my house. One day, as I was entering I smelt a strong dose of Somali incense, strong coal being burnt and Some kind of Soup. I had realised that this is a classic SOmali smell. Incense plus coal plus Soup= Somali Smell. 3.Why do SOmalis look the same? see the answer to question 1. 4.Why do Pirates attack? Like Biggie said, " I been robbin Niccaz since the slave ships". Niccaz need to eat! 5. Why do Somalis ahve soft hair? Maybe because Somalis don't differentiate between cooking oil and hair oil? The secret is out! Dowlada federalka Bladland.
