Since our conversation in the last post drifted off on Yemen and Ethiopia I felt it relevent to discuss the historical implications of the Yemani populations. Some facts about the Yemani population can be diserned from the following:

Southwest Arabia During the Holocene: Recent Archaeological Developments

Christopher Edens, T.J. Wilkinson
Abstract


Recent fieldwork has considerably increased our knowledge of early
Holocene settlement in Southwest Arabia.

Neolithic settlement occured
within an environmental context of increased monsoonal moisture that
continued during the mid-Holocene.

A now well-attested Bronze Age
exemplified by village and town settlements occupied by sedentary
farmers developed toward the end of the mid-Holocene moist interval.


The high plateau of Yemen was an early focus for the development of
Bronze Age complex society, the economy of which relied upon terrace
rain fed and runoff agriculture.

On the fringes of the Arabian Desert,
the precursors of the Sabaean literate civilization have been traced


back to between 3600 and 2800 B.P., and even earlier, so that a
virtually continuous archaeological record can now be desribe for
parts of Yemen.


In contrast to the highlands these societies relied
upon food production from large scale irrigation systems dependent
upon capricious wadi floods.

Bronze Age settlement, while showing some
links with the southern Levant, now shows equal or stronger linkages
with the Horn of Africa across the Red Sea. Although some regions of
Yemen show breaks in occupation, others show continuity into the
Sabaean period when a series of major towns grew up in response to the
increased incense trade with the north. It is now clear that these
civilizations grew up on the foundations of earlier Bronze Age complex
societies.


The Yemani with the most relationship with the ancient Sabeans and Himyarite Arabs are the following:

The three tribes
that speak Mahra are known to other Arabs as the Ahl al Hadara. They
are the Qarra, Mahra and Harasis with parts of other tribes (WT
p.47.) The language is derived from the language of the Sabaeans,
Minaeans and Himyarites. The Mahra with other Southern Arabian
peoples seem aligned to the Hamitic race of north-east Africa. The
Mahra are believed to be descended from the Habasha, who colonised
Ethiopia in the first millennium BC (WT p. 198). Many Bait Kathir
understand the Mahri language. The Qarra and Mahra have almost
beardless faces, fuzzy hair and dark pigmentation (WP171).

Orionix, Stormfront folks, and other diffusionists have from time to time looked towards Ethiopia, from long discredited sources, as way of disconnecting the horn of Africa people from the rest of the continent. At least now, many European anthropologists recognize the absurdity of continuing the propaganda that has outlived its usefulness by the aformentioned folks. Anyone whose actually seen Ethiopians, should be able to tell the difference between them and the Yemanis. Of course, there are some black Yemani people, descedants of east African immigrants. Accordingly, these folks resemble their east Africans ancestors. But by and large, it would be absolutely ludicrous for anyone who has actually seen Ethiopians to confuse them with Yemani. It is likely that one would mistake a Yemani for an east African, rather than the other way around. The underline idea behind this attention on east Africans by diffusionists, doesn't merely stem from genuine interest in these groups, as their history is often ignored, but it lies on the idea that Egyptians have strong biological affinities with these groups.

The present-day Ethiopians and present-day Yemenis look relatively similar because geographically they are very close to each other so a continuous genetic drift and migration has taken place between these two across the Red Sea. Culturally they share a lot in common.

Actually all the people who inhabit earth today are the descendants of East Africans. The genetic legacy of all modern humans is predominantly of African origin. Africans were present on earth way before Europeans.

So now that the genetic makup of humans is revealed blacks can really open up a new line of racism and reverse descrimnation against white people.

But it's wrong, think about that...

This is what many here have been trying to open your mind to. You come across answers, but your radar never picks up the point. The point here is that, naturally portions of the Yemeni population will cluster with East Africans, because of the back and forth migrations from those regions. So, it isn't as though the Ethiopians resemble the Yemeni, it is the other way around. To put it figuratively, you've been making your case as though saying "the parent resembles the child", which is just ridiculous. In addition, you've been attempting to use this as some sort of vindication that Ethiopians aren't black Africans. If you've actually seen an Ethiopian, which I seriously doubt, there is no way you can come to the conclusion that they aren't black Africans. Their clustering with people in Yemen, has no bearing on their being black.

Orionix:
Culturally they share a lot in common.

There are inter-cultural influences all over the globe, due to globalization and migrations, but this doesn't translate into people having a "lot" in common. Give me details of the "lot" you are talking about, because as far as I am concerned, east Africans have a long cultural history, most of which happens to be of their own making.

quote:
Orionix:

Something you've finally come to realize. Therefore, your constant ranting of Africans having foreign phenotypes tells us much about your state of mind.

quote:
Orionix:

You and the likes of the Stormfront gangs, are the ones guilty of racism by using bogus phenotype criteria and useless cluster data, as some sort of vindication that Africans are somehow the derivative of some back migration to the continent. This is what Keita sought to disprove, and he did it very well. African achievements are theirs alone, and not the result of some back migration, and this especially includes the Nile Valley Civilization. It is your likes, along the lines of the Stormfront gangs, that have tried to use genetic data as a tool to explain off African accomplishments as the result of some sort of back migration, when indeed facts state otherwise. All that is done here, is to use accurate data to expose these lies for what they are. I have yet to see black folks go to such great lengths to deny "whites" of their accomplishments, which is yet another blatant lie you are desperately resorting to. White supremacists and their satellites, as you have once again exemplified, are the masters of their craft, when it comes to racism: I doubt blacks will ever come close to matching that. Now this is something for you to think about!

I was under the impression that the people on the African and Arabian coasts of the Red Sea were the same ethnically, linguistically and culturally at one point in time. Isn't Arabia the oldest colony of Ethiopia?

"I was under the impression that the people on the African and Arabian coasts of the Red Sea were the same ethnically, linguistically and culturally at one point in time. Isn't Arabia the oldest colony of Ethiopia? "

Yes the original people of the Arabian peninsula were Black East Africans, and would not have been morphologically distinct based on crossing back and forth across the gulf of Aden. (Arabia and Yemen are as tropical in latitude as East Africa and "indiginous" people would be Black in any case)

The asiatic groups defined TODAY as Arab and Semites are mixtures of Black Peoples who migrated from Africa, and pale skinned peoples from cold adapted Eurasia.

Ancient Arabia was called Kush before it was known as Arabia.

That's why the notion of genetic relationship between Yemen and Ethiopia is true, but also trite.

The attempt (in another thread) to read into this anything about "Negroid vs. Caucasoid" genetic mixture is non-sequitor, as there is no such thing as Negroid and caucasoid genetically.

Ausar's post actually demonstrates this, but I fear it is too subtle and will go over the head of his intended audience. Oh well....

Yes but rasol is just a racist with an agenda.

No matter how much you tell these guys that present-day Ethiopians cluster together with Yemenis they still insist otherwise. That is because they are brainwashed into believing that Ethiopians are an undeniabely black race as the rest of Africa.

By about 1000 b.c.e. Semitic-speaking peoples had entered the northern highlands, perhaps from southern Arabia. There they probably intermarried with the existing population. These people were the ancestors of today's Tigre, Tigray, and Amhara (as well as other, smaller ethnic groups), who speak languages belonging to the Semitic family, which includes Arabic and Hebrew.

I know you guys see all Africans as part of the same race (black). However this is not the reality of African biodiveristy.

North Africans do not cluster with other sub-Saharan Africans and Ethiopians are more closely related to Yemenis than to other east African groups as the Bantus.

The debate is wheater Proto-Semetic developed in Eastern Africa and spread to Yemen or the reverse as proposed by the link. Most likely the Proto-Semetic ancestors of most Semetic speaking people originated in Eastern Africa as opposed to migration from Himyarite Arabic groups.


In most cases the article presented fails to mention that the oldest Semetic speakers in Somalia are ethnically distinct from the northern Arab groups. Yemani Arabs are divided into Qahtani and Adnan. The Qahtani are the southern Arabic groups.


See the following on Proto-Semetic:


Arabic

Background and history

Arabic belongs to the Semitic language family. The members of this family have a recorded history going bak thousands of years--one of the most extensive continuous archives of documents belonging to any human language group. The Semitic languages eventually took root and flourished in the Mediterranean Basin area, especially in the Tigris-Euphrates river basin and in the coastal areas of the Levant, but where the home of area of "proto-Semitic" was located is still the object of dispute among scholars, Once, the Arabian Peninsula was thought to have been the "cradle" of proto-Semitic, but nowadays many scholars advocate the view that it originated somewhere in East Africa, probably in the area of Somalia/Ethiopia. Interestingly, both these areas are now dominated lingustically by the two youngest members of the Semitic language family: Arabic and Amharic, both of which emerged in the mid-fourth century C.E.

They're not. Ethiopia is not even an ethnic group. It is like most African nations a modern geopolitical entity consisting of various mostly Black African ethnic groups also found in neighboring countries, including Kenya, Sudan, Uganda, Somalia, and Eritrea.

Ethiopia is a Greek word, which originally referred to what is now the Sudan.

Which would further devastate Eurocentric conception as it would now place so called Afro Asiatic entirely within Africa (in terms of primary branches) as opposed to almost entirely, which is the case now. It's also clear that Semitic and Berber were among the last branches to emerge from the East African cushitic root languages.

Well the semitic language is a subgroup of the larger Afro-Asiatic branch which is largely located in Africa.

The Afro-Asiatic family must have originated in Africa (probably the present-day Sahara or Nubia), where all branches except Semitic are exclusively found. [u]The Semites then must have migrated, probably at first to Arabia from East Africa, a movement later reversed by the Ethiopian Semites.[/u]

So the ethnic groups who inhabit coatal Yemen today are not siginificatly different from those who inhabit Ethiopia and culturally they share more in common than with other Africans like the (SE African) Bantus. This is true since 3000 years ago.

Genetic studies detects a mixed ancestry for the tribes who inhabit Somalia and Ethiopia. You cannot deny the mixed heritage of these people over the last 3000 years.

Of course i'm not talking about the south of east Africa which is predominantlyBantu.

Don't mind Orionix; the guy doesn't even know where Ethiopia is on the map. He uses data in the same way as the folks of Stormfront, even in the face of overwhelming evidence against him. He apparently hasn't seen Ethiopians before. I'll give him a chance to actually see Ethiopians in the following, because they aren't an extinct species you know:


I don't know how black this guy has to be before Orionix can recognize it as such.

More...

More "non-black" Ethiopians

Of course the Tigre, Somali, and Amharan and possibly some Oromo have some ancestry from across the Red Sea. The original people of the Horn of Africa are the Oromo people. Oromic is classified as an Afro-Asiatic language,and they are the original people of the Horn of Africa. Costal Somalis have some admixture from Arab migrants that came from various periods but Somalis further inland probabaly donot have much Arabic admixture.

The problem I have is you don't seem to acknowleadge the pressence of people who lived in Yemen before the advent of the Afro-Asiatic speakers. Not all people in Yemen were ethnically Semetic,and some were probabaly akin to the Veddoid people and Austric people scattered across the early Arabian peninsula and Mesopotamia.


Not only Bantu live in Southern Ethiopia and Somalia but so do Nilotic people. The Omo[don't confuse with Oromo] being one of them.

You know you guys are really funny posting pictures of starving people with no food or homes. Americans always like to show other people's missery.

Here are healthy Ethiopian women:

Take a trip to Yemen and i can assure you will see similar looking women (not the starving ones of course).

That's from a mail order bride website. Most of those women are Amharan but the majority of the people in Ethiopia are Oromo. Of course they dress them up real nice to become somebody's mailorder bride.


Here's some pictures of Oromo people in Ethiopia:

The Galla are Cushitic and were originally from Northern Somalia.

SW Ethiopians surely have less influence from Yemen and more Bantu from Kenya but the genetic difference between them and the Amhara (the dominant ethnic group) is not big.

Like mentioned in the genetic study, correctly, both historic and archaeological evidence indicate tight cultural connections, over millennia (since the last 3,000 thousand years and especially after WW II when in-migrations from Ethiopia and Somalia into Yemen have occurred continuously).

Both Ethiopians and Yemenis contain an almost-equal proportion of Eurasian-specific M and N and African-specific lineages and therefore cluster together in a multidimensional scaling plot between Near Eastern (Yemenis do not cluster with other NE) and sub-Saharan African populations.

I don't know if you have supernatural powers, as to know which nationality each poster here belongs to. In case you aren't aware of it, there are Africans onboard, whom you are constantly arguing against as though you know better. I showed rural Ethiopian for a reason. It is unlikely that these people travel much, so their racial purity is likely to be higher than those overseas, or even urban areas. Notice that I included a picture of the well dressed Ethiopian Musician, to show that it still doesn't make any difference; they all still black. This includes even the photographs you've issued.

...which would somehow vindicate you in that the Ethiopians resemble the Yemeni women, instead of the other way around. You are only arguing against yourself, because everyone here acknowledges that East Africans have migrated to that part of Asia, and therefore there would naturally be people who like them in that area. It is a common sense logic that seems to have evaded you.

Go ahead and give us details of these tight cultural connections, you keep talking about, aside from obvious influences from migrations.

I think the Amhara is the dominant ethnc group.

Most of the people of the horn of Africa are just brown. Their phenotype is quite distinct from other sub-Saharan Africans.

Ethiopia had closer cultural affinities with Arabia (or SW Asia) since at least 3,000 years ago.

The present day population is intermediate. Remember that you cannot argue against genetic studies so you are in no position to talk at all.

You seem to be an extremely confused individual:
Ethiopia, up to the reign of Haile Selassie was an Empire dominated by the Amhara minority ethnic group. The majority ethnic group, in terms of population are the Oromo.

If you knew better, you would be embarrased by your last statement...

The Oromo are just Cushitic, originally from N Somalia. They later migrated to the region of Lake Turkana (Lake Rudolf). In the mid-16th century they began to move into the Ethiopian highlands. Never a united group, they were not a serious threat to the Ethiopian state.

This doesn't change the fact that Ethiopians are closer related to Yemenis than to Kenyan Bantus for example. Not only genetically but also culturally (much more important since race is based on culture).

I guess you're also the guy who wrote this site: www.geocities.com/wally_mo/

Kemet did not refer to the people's race or skin color, it referred to the land (better said Land of the Nile). It was in reference to the dark, fertile soil that remained after the Nile floodwaters had recededthe. They also used another term, Deshret, or “the Red Land,” a designation for the desert sands that burned under the blazing Sun.

There is nothing to refute. You cannot seperate the Aramha from the Oromo. The Oromo were originally from North Somalia.

The area of Yemen was originally considered a part of Kush and its original (pre arab) population classified as Hamites or Blacks.

However, today some are actually more closely related to some Bantu southern Africans than they are to the Cushites of Africa proper.

To me your "Yemen troll" is unexciting; it's like you're trying to prove that Mississippi (USA) clusters with Nigeria (or Egypt for that matter). Yes....and?

And even so, you make a mess of it, finding a way to be wrong when you should be right.

You have to except the fact that Africans are not all the same, nor culturally or phenotypically. The ancient Egyptians could not have looked like Kenyan Bantus because this was never their geographical origin. They looked more "mixed race" or intermediate.

You are right there is nothing to refute, because you can't refute facts. You might not be able to separate the two, but the reality is that they are distinct ethnic groups. The more you talk about Ethiopians, the more it becomes apparent that you aren't informed about the region.

You keep shooting yourself in the foot. In general the Egyptian population is heterogeneous, but he original Egyptians, particularly those who reside in Upper Egypt are black Africans, whether or not you can swallow the truth. There is no such thing as a pure race, so you are just making a mole hill out of nothing, by constantly referring to the unheard of "intermediate" race. We all acknowledge that Africans have various cultures and phenotypes, except you. You are the one, who is in the dark about this. This is why you limit certain phenotypes to certain people. Advice: there is no such thing as "Ethiopian" phenotype.

Doesn't change the fact that they are still Ethiopians. If you continue to treat Ethiopia as a homogenous ethnic country, you will fail miserably. Might want to take that into consideration!

Either way the people of Upper Egypt share more in common with Lower Egyptians than they do with southern Sudanesne or other Zairen Bantu groups.

"...the present study on the Y-chromosome haplotype shows that there are northern and southern Y-haplotypes in Egypt. The main Y-haplotype V is a northern haplotype, with a significantly different frequency in the north compared to the south of the country: frequencies of haplotype V are 51.9% in the Delta (location A), 24.2% in Upper Egypt (location B), and 17.4% in Lower Nubia (location C). On the other hand, haplotype IV is a typical southern haplotype, being almost absent in A (1.2%), and preponderant in B (27.3%) and C (39.1%). Haplotype XI also shows a preponderance in the south (in C, 30.4%; B, 28.8%) compared to the north (11.7% in A) of the country.

It is interesting to relate this peculiar north/south differentiation, a pattern of genetic variation deriving from the two uniparentally inherited genetic systems (mtDNA and Y chromosome), to specific historic events. Since the beginning of Egyptian history (3200-3100 B.C.), the legendary king Menes united Upper and Lower Egypt. Migration from north to south may coincide with the Pharaonic colonization of Nubia, which occurred initially during the Middle Kingdom (12th Dynasty, 1991-1785 B.C.), and more permanently during the New Kingdom, from the reign of Thotmosis III (1490-1437 B.C.). The main migration from south to north may coincide with the 25th Dynasty (730-655 B.C.), when kings from Napata (in Nubia) conquered Egypt."

(Lucotte et al., Am J Phys Anthro, 2003)

..The majority of these people were mulattos or brown Africans, not black Africans though...

Of course there was a lot of mulattos, with the unification of upper and lower Egypt, but the sizeable and dominant population (predominantly black Egyptians) was in Upper Egypt, particularly in the early era and the middle dynastic era. It was only over time, as more foreigners came into Egypt, did sizeable populations began to appear in the Lower Egyptian regions. You keep dancing around this reality, by saying the population remained the same.

I agree with that there are no descrete human phenotypes on earth but there are genetic clines.

Genetically the Egyptians shared more in common with Lower Egyptians than with southern Sudanese for example. And yes i would call them mulattos or just brown Africans.

I can give you all the genetic studies from 1994 to the present-day:

1. Cavalli-Sforza et al. (1994) compared populations from throughout the world using extensive genetic data. The North African populations grouped with West Eurasian (European, Middle East) populations rather than sub-Saharan Africans.

2. Di Rienzo et al. (1994) studied the relationship of three samples (taken from Egyptians, Sardinians, and sub-Saharan Africans), using mitochondrial DNA and simple sequence repeats. In terms of genetic distance, the Egyptian sample was closer to the Sardinian sample than to the sub-Saharan African sample.

3. Hammer et al. (1997) used seven different methods to compute population trees of world populations, using Y-chromosome data. All seven methods grouped the Egyptians with the non-African populations rather than with the sub-Saharan Africans. Egyptians' genetic profile resembles that of South Europeans more than the other regional groups in the study.

4. Poloni et al. (1997). Egyptians and a few other African populations (Tunisians, Algerians, and even Ethiopians) showed a stronger Y-chromosome similarity to non-African Mediterraneans than to the remainder of Africans mostly from south of the Sahara.

5. Population history of north Africa: evidence from classical genetic markers.

6. "The Hpal (np3,592) mitochondrial DNA marker is a selectively neutral mutation that is very common in sub-Saharan Africa.... From 29 [Merotic Nubian] individuals analysed, only 15 yield positive amplifications, four of them (26.7%) displaying the sub-Saharan African marker. Hpa 1 (np3,592) marker is present in the sub-Saharan populations at a frequency of 68.7 on average. Thus, the frequency of genes from this area in the Merotic Nubian population can be estimated at around 39% (with a confidence interval from 22% to 55%). The frequency obtained fits in a south-north decreasing gradient of Hpa I (np3,592) along the African continent. Results suggest that morphological changes observed historically in the Nubian populations are more likely to be due to the existence of south-north gene flow through the Nile Valley than to in-situ evolution."

(C.L. Fox, Ann Hum Biol, 1997)

7. "To assess the extent to which the Nile River Valley has been a corridor for human migrations between Egypt and sub-Saharan Africa, we analyzed mtDNA variation in 224 individuals from various locations along the river. Sequences of the first hypervariable segment (HV1) of the mtDNA control region and a polymorphic HpaI site at position 3592 allowed us to designate each mtDNA as being of 'northern' or 'southern' affiliation. Proportions of northern and southern mtDNA differed significantly between Egypt, Nubia, and the southern Sudan.

"...we can infer that the migration of northern mtDNA types to the south is older than the migration of southern mtDNA types to the north (or that there has been less gene flow from north to south than from south to north along the Nile River Valley) and that Egypt and Nubia have had more genetic contact than either has had with the southern Sudan. Moreover, we can tentatively infer that these migrations occurred recently enough to fall within the period of the documented historical record of human populations in the Nile River Valley."

(Krings et al., Am J Hum Genet, 1999)

8. "...the present study on the Y-chromosome haplotype shows that there are northern and southern Y-haplotypes in Egypt. The main Y-haplotype V is a northern haplotype, with a significantly different frequency in the north compared to the south of the country: frequencies of haplotype V are 51.9% in the Delta (location A), 24.2% in Upper Egypt (location B), and 17.4% in Lower Nubia (location C). On the other hand, haplotype IV is a typical southern haplotype, being almost absent in A (1.2%), and preponderant in B (27.3%) and C (39.1%). Haplotype XI also shows a preponderance in the south (in C, 30.4%; B, 28.8%) compared to the north (11.7% in A) of the country.

"It is interesting to relate this peculiar north/south differentiation, a pattern of genetic variation deriving from the two uniparentally inherited genetic systems (mtDNA and Y chromosome), to specific historic events.

The main migration from south to north may coincide with the 25th Dynasty (730-655 B.C.), when kings from Napata (in Nubia) conquered Egypt."

(Lucotte et al., Am J Phys Anthro, 2003)

9. Mitochondrial DNA sequence diversity in a sedentary population from Egypt.

Stevanovitch A, Gilles A, Bouzaid E, Kefi R, Paris F, Gayraud RP, Spadoni JL, El-Chenawi F, Beraud-Colomb E.

INSERM U387 - Laboratoire d'Immunologie, Hopital Sainte Marguerite, 270 Boulevard Sainte Marguerite, BP29, 13274 Marseille Cedex 09, France.

The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) diversity of 58 individuals from Upper Egypt, more than half (34 individuals) from Gurna, whose population has an ancient cultural history, were studied by sequencing the control-region and screening diagnostic RFLP markers. This sedentary population presented similarities to the Ethiopian population by the L1 and L2 macrohaplogroup frequency (20.6%), by the West Eurasian component (defined by haplogroups H to K and T to X) and particularly by a high frequency (17.6%) of haplogroup M1. We statistically and phylogenetically analysed and compared the Gurna population with other Egyptian, Near East and sub-Saharan Africa populations; AMOVA and Minimum Spanning Network analysis showed that the Gurna population was not isolated from neighbouring populations. Our results suggest that the Gurna population has conserved the trace of an ancestral genetic structure from an ancestral East African population, characterized by a high M1 haplogroup frequency. The current structure of the Egyptian population may be the result of further influence of neighbouring populations on this ancestral population.

You are forgetting about the lighter skinned Berbers who were present in Egypt since at leat 3000 BC.

Upper Egyptians were never black Africans, they were just brown Africans. People exaggerate how they really looked like.

The ancient Egyptians were mulattos (brown Africans). Saying they were black is not exactly the reality.

Go ahead and fantasize about the original people of the Horn of Africa and the Sahara being some other race, besides the tropical Africans (black Africans) who moved to the Nile Valley regions in the pre-dynastic era. There is a name for such science; it is called crackpot science.

B = Upper Egypt
C = Lower Nubia

The study says that proportions of northern and southern mtDNA differed significantly between Egypt, Nubia, and the southern Sudan.

2. This does not prove the Egyptians were black Africans.

3. This is not from Stormfront. The earlier studies were performed by Cavalli-Sforza (1994). He basically found out that North Africans do not cluster together with sub-Saharan Africans.

Actually this concept (not the word, which is offensive) most accurately applies to the origins of the Arabs and some other Asiatic semitic groups. It doesn't apply to Upper Egypt or Nubia any more than it applies to all of non Nordic Europe, including Greece, Italy, Spain, France.

Indeed with 100's of thousands of African in France (much to the chagrin of French xenophobes), France could also be clustered as "intermediate", and then called "mulatto".

now, continue your troll.........

The only crackpot is Afrocentric and Eurocentric science.

The Egyptians were not black. They were just brown Africans. The contemporary Egyptians are basically very similar to how they looked once.

BS!

There is nothing offensive about mulatto and secondly southern Europeans are not mulattos, so are Near Easterns.

You are really talking out of complete sheer of ignorance.
