[QUOTE]Originally posted by KING: [QB] White Nord I will repost something from Ausarian: For one, "caucasoid" is scientifically bankrupt. What makes a gene "caucasoid", and what are they? Passarino et a. 1998 pooled Ethiopian groups from a sample taken at a hospital in Addis Ababa, which were mainly self-identified Amhara-speakers. This pooling obscured genomic pattern differentiations across intra-Ethiopic ethnic-lines. Amhara groups seem to carry relatively more J haplotype bearing Y chromosomes than their Oromo counterparts, but even these appear to date back to some time in the Neolithic period. Ethiopia is a big country, with at least some 80 different ethnic groups. In fact, it is one of the most diverse nations on mainland Africa. The bulk of these were not tested by Passarino; so, how you can reduce their gene pool to Passarino et al.'s findings, is beyond logic. Ethiopia has been found to be 'intermediate', primarily because non-African gene pools are a subset of an East African population, and to a lesser extent, secondary to *bi-directional* gene flow between the African Horn and its neighbours. In other words, it is a region genetically composite of deep-rooted lineages that are rare outside of the African continent and more downstream mutations that are common in both Africa and elsewhere - hence, the intermediate location. Certain maternal haplogroups that are common in "south west Asia" occurred as rare subtypes in Ethiopian samples, like those associated with haplogroup N1 and M1. Some haplogroups like say, M1, have in the past been erroneously referenced as "Eurasian" by some authors, when there is little to no evidence to suggest so. Now to get to your comments Ethiopians are no more mixed then any other African population. Some Ethiopians have genes that some south arabians have and vice versa. To try and say that the Whole Coutry of Ethiopia is 50/50 mixed is just foolish talk. What we need is studies done on all the Ethnic groups of Ethiopia before we make foolish statements about 50/50 mix. Also I credit you for not getting into a flame war with some posters. Its refreshing to see debate without the insults. Will post more later. Peace [/QB][/QUOTE]
