[QUOTE]Originally posted by JoshuaConnerMoon: [QB] Coon, 1939- "In the three highland groups of Amharas, Gallas, and Sidamos, the Amharas are lightest skinned, with the [b]majority of shades concentrated in the medium brown category, between von Luschan #21 and #25[/b]; individually the series runs as light as #13, a brunet-white, which is approximately the color of the former Emperor, Hailie Selassie. At the other extreme it reaches #34, which is almost jet black, nearer the color of the great Emperor Menelik II. Thus among the Amharas almost the entire range of human skin color intensity is covered, with the exception of rosy or pinkish-white, which probably does not exist among Ethiopians. The Gallas run somewhat darker, [b]with their concentration in the medium to chocolate-brown class, between #22 and #29[/b]; their range is somewhat less than that of the Amharas, and the rare brunet-white of the former is in some cases replaced by a yellow of Bushman intensity. [b]Most of the Sidamos are darker than #30[/b], and are thus really dark brown or black.... Among the Somalis... the [b]majority are lumped around the von Luschan #29[/b]. Numbers 27 and 30 account for most of the others; hence there is a single and [b]characteristic Somali color, which is a rich, glossy, chocolate-brown, which accounts for seven-eights of the entire Somali group.[/b] A very few are darker, and individuals are as light as light brown, in a very few cases as light as Arabs."
