A genetic study from the year 2008 about the Matrilineal Genetic Ancestry of the Jewish Diaspora discovered that the DNA of Ethiopian Jews as a group is not homogeneous and show diversity in both Eurasian and African DNA. Some Ethiopian Jews have a high amount of Eurasian DNA and relatively low amount of African DNA, while some have a more ...
Ethiopian studies began a new era in 1963 when the Institute of Ethiopian Studies was founded on the campus of Haile Selassie University (which was later renamed Addis Ababa University). [4] The heart of the IES is the library, containing a wide variety of published and unpublished materials on all types of matters related to Ethiopia and the ...

[14] Its hosts temporary exhibitions. [15] It has objects dating back to the early Aksumite period.
The proportions of various human Y-DNA haplogroups vary significantly from one ethnic or language group to another in Africa. Data in the table below are based on genetic research.
A 2004 study by Shen et al. compared the Y-DNA and DNA-mt of 12 Samaritan men with those of 158 men who were not Samaritans, divided between 6 Jewish populations (Ashkenazi, Moroccan, Libyan, Ethiopian, Iraqi, and Yemeni) and 2 non-Jewish populations from Israel (Druze and Arab). The study concludes that significant similarities exist between ...
The study states that "the most ancient dispersals of M1 occurred in northwestern Africa, reaching also the Iberian Peninsula, instead of Ethiopia", and states that the evidence points to either "that the Near East was the most probable origin of the primitive M1 dispersals, West into Africa and East to Central Asia ...
Map of Africa and the African diaspora throughout the world. The genetic history of the African diaspora is composed of the overall genetic history of the African diaspora, within regions outside of Africa, such as North America, Central America, the Caribbean, South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia; this includes the genetic histories of African Americans, Afro-Canadians, Afro-Caribbeans ...
