Isirka DNA ee Soomaalida
The first book in Somali on the genetic ancestry of the Somali people — their origins, population history, future, and what unites or divides them.
The story inside
Buuggan “Isirka DNA ee Soomaalida” wuxuu qaadaa-dhigayaa Soomaalida isirkeeda, taariikhdeeda qowmiyadeed ee dhanka DNA, mustaqbalkeeda qowmiyadeed, iyo waxyaabaha mideeya ama kala qaybiya. Wuxuu buuggu adeegsanayaa cilmi-baarisyo casri ah oo la sameeyey labaatankii sano ee u danbeeyey.
Written by a professor of medical genetics who led genome-wide research on the Somali population, the book explains — in clear, accessible Somali — where the Somali people come from, what their DNA reveals about ancient migrations across Africa and beyond, and what science says about clans, lineage and identity.
It closes by looking forward: how emigration, environment, famine and food toxins may shape the Somali genome, and what binds the Somali nation together.
