My frame is worse then his but im not as skinny
D
16"
16 inch shoulder width???16"
D
Yup. It's over
Based, fuck habashi, fucking literal nigger kikes
Im probably around the same size
I think I remember you saying your 5’7 too??
Somalia is literally the land of lanklets bro, I'm a framecel and even I mogg somalicels, they have height but can never NBAmaxx like SudanTyrones, never began for Somalicels
D
Yes
My frame is bottom tier
My shoulder width is around 16
The only reason im not as skinny as him is because Im 5’6/7 so I can fill out my body easier
I used to be as skinny as him when I was a teenager and I didnt even have the height halo since I was one of the shortest in my year group in school
Yeah exactly they have the height but not the bone to support it

Follow Somali-cel here, so the lankyness is caused by low iron lvls in the bloodstream During development. And on top of that Somali have low iron storage capacity since excess iron aids malaria infection?View attachment 1203017
Why do somalis have such big foreheads?
The easy answer would be to say it's an adaptation of the heat, but that doesn't make any sense as other desert groups outside of Africa don't share this adaptation, such as the Cochimi people

Meet the Fulani people.

On first glance you might assume they are Somali. Bronze skin, lanky bodies and the iconic forehead.
But they have nothing in common with somalis. They are over 75% west African.
The Somali pheno must have evolved more then once
Anthropologist Jean Hirenaux had this idea too, and called these groups of people "Elongated Africans"

Every single one of these people groups share the 'somali' look.

Afar people
But these people do all share one thing in common, their dependence on domestic animals and milk.

These African pastoralists have a diet with a shitton of milk. So much so that they have lactose tolerance levels only exceeded by western euros
There is one thing that can explain all of this.
Bahima Disease.

In 1962 doctors in Uganda started seeing an increase of iron deficiency and swollen foreheads in the bahima people

After ruling out sickle cell and malaria, they realized the culprit was an iron deficiency caused by drinking too much milk early in life
The reason why milk would cause this is because not only is it low in iron calcium actively interferes with iron metabolism, causing a milk anemia
Lack of iron would also explain the Somali phsyique. Not only to withstand the desert heat but to survive on a bare minimum of iron
Calcium and iron absorption--mechanisms and public health relevance - PubMed
Studies on human subjects have shown that calcium (Ca) can inhibit iron (Fe) absorption, regardless of whether it is given as Ca salts or in dairy products. This has caused concern as increased Ca intake commonly is recommended for children and women, the same populations that are at risk of Fe...pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Milk anemia is talked about as if it only happens to children, since they are the only group of people that would drink so much milk. But the Somali drinks upwards of 5 LITERS A DAY.
Now, you may be asking, why didn't somalis just evolve more iron stores to combat this?
The problem is malaria, which is closely linked to iron.
The adverse effect of iron repletion on the course of certain infections - PubMed
The incidence of infections was studied in 137 iron-deficient Somali nomads, 67 of whom were treated with placebo and 71 with iron. Seven episodes of infection occurred in the placebo group and 36 in the group treated with iron; these 36 episodes included activation of pre-existing malaria...
So there you have it.
MILK + MALARIA + HEAT = SOMALI LOOK
Yes exactly. Somalis are built to endure intense heat and the bare minimum of iron
