Did you know Hitler shared the exact same ancient paternal DNA marker (E1b1b) that’s found in over 80% of Somali men?
I was reading about population genetics and learned that genetic tests on Hitler's living relatives showed his paternal lineage was Haplogroup E1b1b. This marker originated tens of thousands of years ago in East Africa and is widespread across the Horn of Africa (especially Somalia), North Africa, and parts of the Mediterranean today. Has anyone else come across this genetic fact before?
