Somalis are their own ethnicity and race, and are an ancient peoples dating back thousands of years. Their origins and existence predates that of most ethnic groups, and are centered on the founder and patriarch of the Somali race, Samaale. From Sam's progeny and sons, the Somali clans sprang forth, with the Darod, Dir, Isaaq, and Hawiye expanding from their cradle in the Northern and Eastern Somali territories, expanding south and west, conquering the vast majority of the Horn of Africa by pre-Islamic times. The Somali are related to other Hamitic peoples, most closely to the Afar, Saho, and Oromo, and the more distant Habesha, Berber peoples, and other Northeast and North African peoples.
