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 [4] The heart of the IES is the library, containing a wide variety of published and unpublished materials on all types of matters related to Ethiopia and the ...
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 ...
Results of studies based upon autosomal DNA variation have also been varied. In a major study (2009) using over 500,000 biallelic autosomal markers, Reich hypothesized that the modern South Asian population was the result of admixture between two genetically divergent ancestral populations dating from the post-Holocene era.
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).

This IES unit is the first university museum in Ethiopia. The museum has a permanent collection in five fields of study: anthropology, art, ethnomusicology, numismatics (the study of coinage), and philately (the study of postage stamps). [14] Its hosts temporary exhibitions. [15] It has objects dating back to the early Aksumite period.
