Nubians were found to be genetically modelled similar to their Cushitic and Semitic (Afro-Asiatic) neighbors (such as the Beja, Sudanese Arabs, and Ethiopians) rather than to other Nilo-Saharan speakers who lack this Middle Eastern/North African influence. The study showed that these populations formed a "North-East cluster", which included ...

The influx of Arabs and Nubians to Egypt and Sudan had contributed to the suppression of the Nubian identity following the collapse of the last Nubian kingdom around 1504. A vast majority of the Nubian population is currently Muslim, and the Arabic language is their main medium of communication in addition to their indigenous Nubian language.
The average annual rainfall in the Nubian Desert is less than 5 inches (130 mm). [1] The native inhabitants of the area are the Nubians. The River Nile goes through most of its cataracts while traveling through the Nubian Desert, before the Great Bend of the Nile. The Nubian Desert affected the civilization of ancient Egypt in many ways.
The IUCN currently recognizes only one species of giraffe, with nine subspecies, one of which is the Nubian giraffe. [1] The Nubian giraffe, along with the whole species, were first known by the binomen Cervus camelopardalis described by Swedish zoologist Carl Linnaeus in the Systema Naturæ per regna tria naturæ, secundum classes, ordines, genera, species, cum characteribus, differentiis ...
The Nubian wild ass (Equus africanus africanus) is the nominate subspecies of African wild ass, and one of the ancestors of the domestic donkey, which was domesticated about 6,000 years ago. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] It is presumed to be extinct , though two populations potentially survive on the Caribbean island of Bonaire and in Gebel Elba .
Arabization was rapidly advancing in 19th-century Sudan due to the perceived superiority of Arabic to Nubian and other African languages. [19] Among the Shaiqiya, Nubian reportedly survived until the turn of the 20th century. [20] As late as 1918 it was reported that Nubian (Dongolawi) was still spoken as far upstream as Karima near Jebel ...
The Nubians constituted an "African front" that barred Islam's spread, along with others in Central Asia, India and the Anatolian/Mediterranean zone. Whereas the Islamic military expansion began with swift conquests across Byzantium , Central Asia, the Maghreb and Spain, such quick triumphs foundered at the Sudanic barrier. [ 48 ]
