You have to start to trust the science as it gives impartial lights on issues you don't know. If genetically Tutsi are different from Hutus ( as proven by science), what gain are you gone register by opposing? Dear Konybullshit,

Tutsis aren't northern africans and get over it. That is another racist construct from white people who want to pull north whatever they find good looking according to their standard of beauty.. Tutsi and Hutu are all part of Africa sub saharan. Get over it world and this type of study .. really go study your own balls. OMG. Tutsis aren’t northern africans and get over it.

First there is no such thing as ' luhya' ethnically speaking and even more so genetically . You cannot get a sample of a 'luhya' because no such person exists. This was a reference created by the brtish in the 1930's to refer to group of about 18- 20 ethnicities in western Kenya . They are a highly hetereogenous group even within their respective subgroups . Some cluster more closely with Nilo- hamites, others with bantu's and other's with nilotics . So the subgroup of that the sample belongs to is very important -- it can dramitically change from group to group. Moreover there some of them who are bantu speaking but in every other respect are nilotics. Bukusu, banyole, samia, maragoli , Tachoni are some of these groups -- their languages are not even mutually intelligible -- and they have very different histories of migration and intermarriage etc within the East african region.

Undoubtedly, the Tutsi have Northeast African origins. The stronger Sub-Saharan pull of the 3/4 Tutsi vis-à-vis the full-blooded Tutsi sample seems to suggest that the Hutu may indeed be similar to the Luhya.
