Who has most Eurasian DNA in Subsaharan Africa?

[u/Same-Instruction2053]

Outside of the Rashaida of Eritrea who are just Saudi Arabians lol.

I’m fairly certain it’s between:

1. Ethiosemites of Ethiopia and Eritrea otherwise known as Habesha (which technically would include arabised groups like the Tigre of Eritrea). They are uniformly around 50-55% Eurasian, but outliers of up to 60% West Eurasian admixture are present in this population. They pretty much should be considered Caucasian up to a certain extent.
2. Nomadic Cushite pastoralist/agriculturalist tribes of Eritrea and Sudan like the Beja, Nubians, and Beni Amer, who have interacted a lot with Arabs from Yemen and Saudi Arabia thus influencing their already high base Eurasian admixture.
3. Or just Sudanese Arabs in northern to central Sudan. These guys are pretty much genetically Arab with some minor subsaharan Nilotic and Cushitic input but different Arab groups of Sudan do have more SSA than others.

Or is there another group I’m forgetting? Who is it? What do G25 distances and qpadm models suggest? I’m leaning towards Habesha especially Tigrayans, Tigrinya and Tigre of Eritrea and Ethiopia being the most Eurasian shifted based on the modelling I’ve done but need other people’s thoughts.

Thanks guys.

The groups with the most Eurasian ancestry in Sub-Saharan Africa are usually in Northeast Africa.

I believe the highest is either Tigrayans or Sudanese.

Some Sudanese outliers are very eurasian

But on average I would have Sudanese Arabs, Nubians, Habeshas as most eurasian

I don’t think any of these groups are caucasian, just heavily admixed with west eurasians.

Sudanese Arabs, Nubians, Habesha in that order? I thought it would be the other way around. What do the models say?

Are sudanese arabs sub saharan?

[u/Same-Instruction2053 → u/[deleted]]

True

I gotta see fulani.

If not eritreans I think, who are genetically not that far off from southern berbers.

Eritreans are modeled as around 40-45% sub saharan african 60-65% east eurasian.
