Four of the major coastal tribes of Western Africa: the Yoruba, Igbo, Akan and the Gaa-Adangbe are dissimilar at a glance and evidently geographic neighbours, but very closely related, when examined at the genetic level.
Several studies have been employed over the years, with findings showing genetic similarity between differing regional ethnic groups.




One in particular , conducted by Adebowale Adeyemo, Guanjie Chen, Yuanxiu Chen, the National Human Genome Centre and Howard University, and Charles Rotimi of the University of Ibadan, provided results indicating the genetic similarities between the four major West African ethnic groups.




Their findings further showed surprising genetic variance within groups, but almost none across groups, similar to the closeness of human genetics across races, showing more range within than without.




According to this landmark study, there was a 99.9 percent within-population variance, the between-population variance was less than 0.1 percent. This means that Yorubas, Igbos, Gaa and Akan are 99.9 percent similar, while within each of the groups there are variations/differences between individuals as high as 99 percent i.e. One Igbo may be 99 percent genetically different from another Igbo person, or one Yoruba person to another.
It is important to remember that these groups were not initially split by national borders; prior to the European division of the continent, these ethnic peoples traded, migrated and wedded as the times permitted, allowing apparent regional and national mixtures that remain evident in modern day genetic analyses of some Yoruba and Igbo individuals.




Race and ethnicity are considered to be related concepts. Ethnicity is often assumed to be somewhat more of a cultural identity of a group, often based on shared ancestry, language and cultural tradition, while race is assumed to be strictly a biological classification, based on genetic materials and bone structure.



Ethnicity is often used synonymously with ambiguous terms such as nation or people, depending on which source of
group identity is emphasized to define membership, the following types of (often mutually overlapping) groups are:
Ethno-linguistic, emphasizing shared language, dialect or script — example: Hausa.



Ethno-national, emphasizing a shared polity or sense of national identity — example: Nigerian.




Ethno-racial, emphasizing shared physical appearance based on genetic origins — example: African-American.
Ethno-regional, emphasizing a distinct local sense of belonging stemming from relative geographic isolation — example: South Islanders.



Ethno-religious, emphasizing shared affiliation with a particular religion, denomination or sect — example: Christians.




Also worthy of note is the shared
Volta-Niger root languages , Yoruba and Igbo languages belong to the same family (YEAI branch), showing the common start of the diverse languages spoken by these ethnicities.



Consequently, barring the inclusion of culture, tribal affiliation and nationality, it could be said that the the Yorubas, the Igbos, the Akans and the Gaa-Adangbes are but a people spread over a wide area with different ways of life. Thus, discrediting any claim of a unique Yoruba “race” or a genetically insured Igbo ethnicity often employed by politicians and traditional rulers in rhetorics and propaganda messages.




The reality, however, is the hampered economic strength of a not truly united front, with success delayed continually by the lack of pan-African sentiments on the part of the leadership, and poor economic decisions taken in an imperialist system.This is not to revile the revered skin deep differences in each group’s cultural development, but serves to indicate and rejoice in the underlying sameness of what appears ‘not’ to be.



A body does not fight itself. These kinds of research serve as a balm to the much divided heart of the ethnically-concerned West African, and to the African at large: one root, many branches; united by blood if not spirit.

p

similar ke

we are different beings in all aspect. for the fact we share a shithole country together doesn't make us similar

onye ara

Olohun maje!

God forbid,igbos v no genetic connection or similarity with betrayals backstabbers and looters.pls stop this ur fake findings

Hmmm
what sort of nonsense is this
Bia, mister man who gave you this kind of work
Besides, The Igbo and Yoruba are never the same.

on one hand, the study might mean little, after all humans are similar to simians...

https://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/08/0831_050831_chimp_genes.html



but in the context of the goal of the study, I think it says a lot about relatedness in the south.


history shows that both the Igbos & Yorubas (& Edos) are from the Volta-Niger Phylum (Williamson & Blench (2000) 'Niger–Congo', in Heine & Nurse, African Languages .)



both tribes are known for their unique art works.




both tribes evolved a pseudo-democratic style of governance as far back as the 9-11 century. the Igbos were republican (akin to the city states of ancient Greece) while the Yorubas were more of the modern style presidential system. but systems were highly complex & effective even for their times.



both tribes have shown a high ability to adapt & evolve with modern day advancements.



both tribes had a pattern of identification that involved facial tribal marks (yes, the Igbos also carried tribal marks at a time but dropped it faster than the Yorubas).



it was colonial rule that made tribal differences in the south more pronounced & sharper.



so next time YOU call call a Yoruba man scratched face, look in the mirror BROTHER;


next time YOU call an Igbo man Igbo, look in the mirror BROTHER;


next time any of YOU refer to one another as 'YOU PEOPLE' or 'PEOPLE FROM THAT SIDE' or whatever derogatory tribal slur YOU like to dish out... look in the mirror BROTHER... you are referring to YOURSELF...


we are all similar in our unique ways...

The debate never ends..

What sort of Igbos people do we have on this Nairaland? See their acidic comments already. So sad that many of you have yet to learn from the mistakes of the likes of Ironsi, Chukwuma Kaduna and even the Hausas you so much detest their 'born to rule mentality'.

It is always good to inform the public correctly because this platform will always become a reference point. It is foolhardy to see people trying so much to fuse Yoruba and Ibos on the same genetic ground, when in reality all humans are 99.9 per cent identical and, of that tiny 0.1 per cent difference, 94 per cent of the variation is among individuals from the same populations and only six per cent between individuals from different populations.

Why do you fail to note the similarities in all humans and the difference in all humans?

No need to Yawn because all of us are here to share our knowledge and learn.....The point here is that there is no need with the screaming headline which isnt necessary because all human are related via same stock . It is important to inform you that the internet in which you saw the information you posted is still available if you can search for human genome sequences order and its admixture as well as the migration outta Africa for your perusal. It is just for you to modify your info. It is as simple as ABC. Perhaps, you can consult a Genomicist either online or in person .
The human history via scientists evolution theory inferred that evolution theory of humans origins, known as the Out of Africa theory, identify modern humans first emerged in Africa 150,000-200,000 or more years ago . All non-Africans are descended from at least one group of humans who migrated out of Africa into western Asia 50,000-70,000 or more years ago.

And The Yoruba ethnic group of Nigeria has been sampled in previous genetic studies. The Yorubas were part of the international HapMap studies that led to the sequencing of the Human Genome and to create a map of human genome sequence variations . Samples from the Yoruba ethnic group were also included to collectively identify 3 million common DNA variants, primarily SNPs . SNP data and their linkage disequilibrium patterns provide basic information for genome-wide association studies in African or admixed populations.


What are single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)?
Single nucleotide polymorphisms, frequently called SNPs (pronounced “snips”), are the most common type of genetic variation among people. Each SNP represents a difference in a single DNA building block, called a nucleotide. For example, a SNP may replace the nucleotide cytosine (C) with the nucleotide thymine (T) in a certain stretch of DNA.
SNPs occur normally throughout a person’s DNA. They occur once in every 300 nucleotides on average, which means there are roughly 10 million SNPs in the human genome. Most commonly, these variations are found in the DNA between genes. They can act as biological markers, helping scientists locate genes that are associated with disease. When SNPs occur within a gene or in a regulatory region near a gene, they may play a more direct role in disease by affecting the gene’s function.
Most SNPs have no effect on health or development. Some of these genetic differences, however, have proven to be very important in the study of human health. Researchers have found SNPs that may help predict an individual’s response to certain drugs, susceptibility to environmental factors such as toxins, and risk of developing particular diseases. SNPs can also be used to track the inheritance of disease genes within families. The Genomicists are still doing more research to identify if SNPs is associated with complex diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.

If Yorubas have same genome with Ibos,why are Ibos not in Yoruba DNA-SNPs ancestral link as well as diseases linked group?
After all, Ibos remain one of the largest ethnic group in Africa.

read my first comment (not the one to you) & you would see where I stated in the first line that the study may mean little in the big picture before I now went to look at historical sociocultural connections/similarities.



so I had already acknowledged that all humans share close genetic similarities but the main differences are behavioural & sociocultural.



also, when you quote other people's works verbatim, reference them or attribute it properly.


that being said, you are still my brother (regardless of where you come from) & together, we can create a much more harmonious society.

LOL So it's more plausible to believe that yorubas are from the middle East than to believe people who live in neighboring regions and speak sub family of the same language family are related. People who apart from linguistic similarities also share genetic similarities? Even as far as engaging in copy and paste of studies which you do not understand. Shame. SMH

Sure humans in terms of general DNA architecture maybe 99 percent similar but in terms of our different genetic make up, it's very plausible for certain ethnicities to be more closely related than others.

This is a more worthy cause for you to investigate because unlike your silly adventures to link Yorubas with the middle East, there are actually multiple studies that were dedicated to this and have found significant evidence to support this.

Imagine, ‘as a muslim ,drinking is haram’, So everyone on earth drink alcohol? In fact, in Saudi Arabia,Kuwait, Turkey,U.A.E,Iran ,Lebanon,etc ,do have indeginous muslim people that drink but they do it in their private homes. Have you not seen advertisements of wine on cable network or satellite,if you haven't been to (all) places.
Are you even sure you are a Muslim? This is because, a real Muslim in Nigeria, with well advance Knowledge on history knows that some people were migrants to Nigeria,while the first settlers were Bantu–Nok set of people.This is the oldest civilization on Nigeria soil,no matter how archaic it was.

Keep reaching. I am not gbagyi, but if I were, I'd be damn proud. They were part of the great kwararafa kingdom that have troubled even the mightiest of kingdoms. Great people known for their unrivaled hardwork. I hope you're learning from some of these lessons I'm throwing in.

I am not interested in your lineage. It only baffled me when you involved in a matter which isnt your business. And if you took such as a business of yours, then proof me wrong about Yoruba genome. Else, keep off. I dont care about your lineage because you are a well bruised man and I understand.
And who is making my tribe look bad? If you have nothing to do,relax yourself and learn from others. By so doing,you will acquire wisdom glow.

You can also learn from Gallego Llorente of Cambridge University, who studied the DNA of Mota, an Ethopian man who lived around 4,500 years ago with his group. They found that Mota carried an unexpectedly high proportion of DNA from European populations, including DNA that had originally come from Neanderthals over 30,000 years earlier (Neanderthals went extinct around 35,000 years ago. Perhaps, you will have acquired more knowledge on NEANDERTHAL.

Note: Don't drag me up into religious angle because it wont work.
Then,kindly refer a known Researchers that denounced Yoruba as not be having Neanderthal trait

I'm not about to play these childish games with you again.

What religious angle? You made a comment about Muslims and drinking, I just posted that to correct you.

Good luck with your comedic material.

OnyeOGA:
Hmmm
what sort of nonsense is this
Bia, mister man who gave you this kind of work
Besides, The Igbo and Yoruba are never the same.

Confam your mumuness Sha. so a neighbouring tribe has no similarities with you but you believe Jews from Isreal do.
Confam mumu.
