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 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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
E-M123 is best known for its major sub-clade E-M34, which dominates this clade. [Note 1] However, earlier studies did not test for E-M34.Looking beyond its geographical patterns, E-M123 is also quite common in many Semitic language communities, including among Ashkenazi, Ethiopian, and Sephardic Jews, accounting for over 10% of all male lines (Semino et al. 2004).
(Data from studies conducted before 2004 may be inaccurate or a broad estimate, due to obsolete haplogroup naming systems – e.g. the former Haplogroup 2 included members of the relatively unrelated haplogroups known later as Haplogroup G and macrohaplogroup IJ [which comprises haplogroups I and J].)
The Ethnological Museum in Addis Ababa was established in 1950, largely based on the collections of old Italian zoological species and ethnographic artifacts by the first batch of graduates of the College.
The IES Library collects in the field of Ethiopian Studies (in the humanities and social sciences) [1] and also preserves Ethiopian manuscripts. Its Woldämäskäl Memorial Research Center holds most of the Institute's rare publications and manuscripts in Ge’ez, Amharic, Oromiffa, Tigrinya, and other Ethiopian languages.
