An inhabitant of the Horn of Africa. The word Horner is almost synonymous with Cushite, since that is the dominant ethnic group in the Horn. Due to being an enclosed peninsula, its people are phenotypically distinct among whom the E-M215 (also E3b) haplogroup prevails. The peninsula has never amalgamated under a single polity, except partially during the expansionism of Ahmed Gragn or that of Darwiish supreme commander Ismail Mire.
