[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sundiata: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Madote: [qb] Staying on topic, there has been no genitic study of Eritreans thus far. Eritrean peoples' history has been intertwined with foreign powers, namely the Ottomans (for 350 years), ancient Egyption (well over 500 years plus), modern Egyptions (two decades or so), Italians (51 years) and the large wave after wave of Sabean Yemenis who migrated to Eritrea and mixed with the local Cushtic populations, namely the Tigrinya and Tigre ethnic groups who make up 85% of the population this very day. Also, Eritrea's location is a key player on the make up of their current look. [/qb][/QUOTE]Nonsense.. Anyways, most Eritreans are indistinguishable from Northern "semitic-speaking" Ethiopians. Yes, they've shared contact with Yemeni populations whom reside just across a narrow red sea, but interaction was mutual and there's no evidence of language transfer. No it doesn't account for the majority of their features and relatively lighter skin tones since skeletal remains suggest the presence of populations with identical phenotypes going back thousand of years. Anyhow, see: Ethiopian Mitochondrial DNA Heritage: Tracking Gene Flow Across and Around the Gate of Tears. http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1182106 ^One problem though with this study is that they don't even entertain the alternative and widely held observation that M1 is native to East Africa, thus it may be deceiving to say that maternally, half of their lineages are Yemenini origin and vice versa. Also, many southern Egyptians share common (African) ancestry with Tigre/Tigray populations. If fact, they are more maternally similar to each other than anyone else. Hence the view the ancient Egyptians mainly derive from early Eastern African migrants. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14748828 [/QB][/QUOTE]
