[QUOTE]Originally posted by Orionix: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [b] 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.[/b][/QUOTE] 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.
