I’m also a first generation Ethiopian American and it’s so hard living here with not a lot of Ethiopians around me. Everyone I’ve ever known or met out here have zero knowledge of basic evolution and genetics. They look at me and are like oh your black but you look “different” because they think “normal blacks” should’ve that big nose or big lips. It’s so frustrating i mean most Americans still think Africa is one country but hopefully in the future people won’t be so ignorant anymore 😕
During our family reunion in DC years ago, there was an Ethiopian wedding ceremony going on. One of the attendees saw my aunts and I observe. They were nice enough to invite us in. They welcomed us like family. It was such a beautiful ceremony and we had so much fun. I also made a friend at the same time. I have East African and a little Ethiopian DNA. There are so many beautiful people in Africa!
Ethiopians males and females are known to be beautiful people from their existence. Yes and some black Americans looks like them. What is wrong with this?
I got the same problem with the red hair issue. My mom used to dye my hair black and when I was a teenager for while I stopped dying my hair and everybody thought I was ill. When I saw some young men from Chicago who had copper hair I was so excited and then later on I started looking up people from Africa who had read here also and I thought that was just so awesome I wish I had known about this when I was younger. I'm 71 so I'm gray now.
I went to school with a girl with reddish hair and my hair now is turning honey brown at the ends. I think it's always been brownish, but at first I thought it was a reaction to relaxer, then I thought it was dirt. There's always something causing my hair not to be black. 😂
I'm a light skinned African. When I was in the U.S. ppl were saying I must be mixed with European. But nope, I'm 100% African.africans are diverse looking
Ethiopia is very diverse. So let's be careful when talking about Ethiopia as a single group. You can't claim "Ethiopians" are mixed when there are 80 other tribes that are all different. People always assume that she is the typical Ethiopian look because people don't really do their homework. I look completely different from how she looks but we are both of Ethiopian descent.
@@amanuelseyoum7851 where is your proof that you are quoting. What are the mixtures? If you are saying mixed among the tribes yes that is correct. However they are referring to how much is mixed with middle eastern and that is not even close to half. It is quite complicated to explain but you can look it up regarding the maternal mitochondria l DNA and the haplogrouping among the general ethiopian populace. Ancestrally it is hard to determine the exact origins because we are far from being homogenous. Like anyother place we are not an island so expect genetic similarities with neighboring countries. It is cringeworthy though to refer to Ethiopians as one homogenous block.
A lot of ignorant people would not know but it's obvious she is from a country in East Africa. It's like by a book. There are different type of "blacks", the same way a Scandinavian doesn't look like Mediterranean
East Africans and Mediterranean people are both mixed with Arabs/Middle-Eastern though, that’s why Ethiopians look different from other Africans and Mediterranean people look different from other Europeans.
This whole thing is a little confusing this whole thing is a little confusing this whole thing is a little confusing you can barely hear her talkin he keeps up with talkin her and then you got this whole thing about Jewish ancestry how do you have a religion ngn DNA this whole thing needs to be really talked about

Not every black person looks like west African. There are different tribes in Africa and Africa is a huge place. Ethiopia is even in the bible, I believe her. She looks like her brother.
Ethiopia is said to be the cradle of civilization. Ethiopians don't look like other people. It's the other way around. Drives me crazy when people forget this and assume it's Ethiopians who resemble people from other nations smh.
Like the lady said, Africans are the most genetically diverse people on the planet and Africans have migrated from one region to another since the beginning of time so to say one person looks more or less African is ridiculous because what is an African supposed to look like because having dark skin, broad noses and full lips are characteristics that could be found anong the people of Asia and many people throughout the world, so basically an African is someone who is indigenous to the continent of Africa whether they are dark skinned people of Senegal or light skinned people of Southern Africa such as the San or Xhosa .
@Chevalier Rish many ancient historian classified ethiopians as ones with the fuzzy hair and the others ethiopians as Indian with straight hair.😳😳😀😀😀😀😀
Very interesting. I’m 97% Ethiopian according to 23 and me and yet I am about 5 shades lighter than her and look more “middle eastern” looking. Just goes to show how diverse Africa is
Just because now they just lump all Ethiopian dna into one category...her test was done years ago, and back then, they teased out the different dna. When I did mine years ago, I had middle Eastern and East African dna...now, both of these are lumped together under Ethiopian dna
You do get that results like 'Ethiopian' or 'North African' disprove Black ancestry. Both of these categories are essentially West Asian racial categories. Not Black ones. Yes they are native to Africa but Africa doesn‘t consist only of Blacks. 'Ethiopian' or same categories with other names in those DNA test results indicate the Ethio-Somali component. A West Asian racial category which is closest to modern Arabian. Essentially both Arabians/Arabs and Horn Africans descend from a common people. The first descendants of these common ancient ancestors were the Cushitic speakers, several thousand years later the Semitic speaking descendant arrived, overwhelmingly Sabean South Arabians
Luhya is a tribe here in Kenya. A very large group in Western Kenya. Very interesting stuff. I think this is very accurate because based on the image on the maternal dna map, it pointed on areas where the Bantu migrated from (Luhyas are Bantus).
Luhya genetics aren't really purely Bantu, there is a lot of Nilotic and Hadza assimilations when the Bantu expanded into East Africa, but in general the DNA results supports the fact that all over the horn were inhabited by the same people in East Africa before the successive incoming migrations from the middle East assimilated most of them in the horn of Africa region but in different percentages. if you notice most Ethiopian males have paternal haplogroups from the middle while there is a lot of maternal mtDNA present as well.
Maragoli are not luhyas, hata lugha yenyu haifanani na yetu watu wa kakamega, you are related to wakisii na wakuria. We even understand kinyore more, yet you are in the same county, nyinyi na wabukusu si waluhya.
As a member of the African diaspora, i keep telling people Africans are not "black", we come in a dizzying array of beautiful brown tones, from Chocolate dark brown, Milk Chocolate Brown, Caramel brown, to dusky brown, oh and our hair can be tightly curled, to straight and we will still be "brown" skinned people. I have seen people from India darker than Nilotic people and I do believe they are the darkest of all African people.
My younger brother is light skinned, my older brother is really dark and I’m brown, both my parents are dark but my grandmother was light skinned (Igbo) while the rest were also dark. Genetics are crazy
Aside from albinos no one has white skin and no one has black. We are all some shade of brown. "Black" is a term of so called "race" and therefore is subjective.
@@kindnessfirst9670 exactly. I keep saying the same. We're all just different shades of the same colour family. It is impossible to be black or white... unfortunately, those two non-colours are the cause for most conflict in most of the (western) world.

The problem is that now they Say Ethiopia like one country Ethiopia is very diverse if an America took a test he wouldn’t want to see America he would want to see some German British you get my point now don’t you.
@@Hi-xu9xn that’s because Americans came from other countries few hundreds years ago, Ethiopians have been in Ethiopia for thousands of years , having said that 23andMe does show if you have traces of other national origins too, mine shows 0.1 % Europe , 2% Egypt .... and others , but 96% of my gene is Ethiopian origin.
@@BeKemeFeqadu someone with haplogroup E-v32 from somalia, ethiopia eritrea or sudan is impossible to distinguish by country. while it does tell us that we are of north east African descent....it fails to give us a more detailed analysis of our ancestors compared to europeans unfortunately. Gedmatch will actually analyze your raw DNA data for free, which will break down your ancestry by the "type" (Nilote, East African 1, east African 2 etc) of African you are as a pie chart. very insightful
my daughter is Ethiopian and at first results said half east Africa, half Arabian, but since then it has bounced up to 94% ethiopian/eritrean - just in case you are curious re Ethiopia and how things have changed.
@@Njoofene he say 100% ethiopiawi second who says african means west african there is alot of phenotypes other than bantus and flat nose ppls we aren't talking about huge land mass africa .even east africans look totally different each other
I bet the ones who are saying that it doesn't include Kenya and Somalia are probably from Somalia lol. It included parts of all those modern day countries.
Yeah, many white Americans think all “black people” look like west Africans, and that’s probably because most people brought to America as slaves were west African. I didn’t figure this out till I adopted my daughter from Ethiopia, who looks a lot like the lady in the video, same hair and nose, sane skin tone. I think its ignorant of Americans (especially African Americans who have been in America for hundreds of years) to assume that you have to look a certain way to be African. This is a very interesting video and I sent it to my daughter to watch. Thanks!
there are two groups of "black" African who have shown positive DNA for ancient middle eastern Jews. Ethiopians in the horn of Africa of course and The Lemba, a Bantu-speaking people of southern Africa, The Lemba's oral traditions claim their Jewish ancestors fled the middle east around the time of the fall of the first temple and were members of the priestly caste. Their Y DNA would seem to confirm that origin.
@@admirekashiri9879 I am sorry but the Lemba test positive for a male Y chromosome common to the traditional priestly cast of Jews. Which is in line with their oral traditions and remnant religious practices. So much so that Israeli religious organizations have dispatched missionaries to help bring the Lemba in line with Rabbinical Judaism. At this point, the debate of their oral historical assertions are for the most part done.
@Clement McKenzie Yes, you are correct; you're referring to the CMH or Cohen Modal Haplotype. Most with the name Kohen belonged to this priestly class, Cohen=Priest. It has also been found in limited samples of Ethiopian Jews as well. For several given reasons which I don't precisely recall, the presence of the CMH in Ethiopian groups is believed to have come from trade, one or a small group of merchants who travelled to the region. The Lemba have a stronger connection with more frequency of the CMH.
This was interesting. The US Army, in the 1960's decided that Ethiopia (Eritrea today) was the exact place to send me. I was amazed by the country, and found it very diverse. Ethiopians, in fact, are cool, with an astounding history. I later found myself in Isreal, and spent a couple of days with the Sergeant-Major of the Isreali Army. Interestingly, he had been born in Ethiopia, and had fought with Mark Clark in Italy. Everybody, in my opinion, ought to spend some time Ethiopia. By the way, the lady in the video looks American, but I suspect that is an artifact of being born in America. The world is wide, and the people in it, amazing, just amazing.
Kenya is on the border with ethiopia, there are in east africa nomadic tribes who might have been migrated to the north (ethiopia). Still now tribes from ethiopia and kenya live in eachother countries for centuries. The same thing for somalis and south sudanes like gambella or Benishangul Gemuz of ethiopia. Borders have changed during decades and centuries. Ethiopia is a country in a country in a special way i think. I'm myself are from Ethiopia. But living in the Neterlands.
I wonder if they ever updated her results. Most people think I am Ethiopian and/or mixed but I am Kenyan. My ancestry DNA results initially showed a % of Arab then was revised to 100% African about 18% Ethiopian🤷🏽♀️
At one point Ethiopia extended into modern day Yemen and Saudi Arabia. People are confused because they are using modern borders that were defined by Europeans, who later conquered those lands and changed the borders. When you get these DNA results, you need to keep in mind that the current borders we have today were not always there. They are recent borders that were defined by Europeans. Before the Europeans, people use to cross-over, and there was no such a thing as Kenya, Ethiopia, Somali, Yemen, and The Middle East and etc.
@@salyoutube7023completely false and historically inaccurate there was no control of Ethiopia by Yemen their relationship was one of mutual cultural exchange and trade. Absolutely no evidence to back your claim and also the oldest scripts lie In Eritrea not Yemen. Axumites controlled Yemen, Oman and parts of Saudi Arabia.
Somalia drew their own borders, what the hell are you on about? Europeans did not have anything to do with it and is in fact the only country in Africa that drew it's own lines, sadly enough 😔
@Crusher Corps yeah well I thought I was arab too as a moroccan. I took a test I'm 95% indigenous of north Africa 0% arab and 5% east african. See no Arab in there. Yet I was raised being told my family came from the arabic peninsula and that's what I told people growing up until I did the test.
Media has skewed how we believe people from certain regions look. People assume you're Irish or Scottish but what if you were Syrian where lots of people have naturally ginger hair? Africa is made of tribes so our features are more determined by ethnic group than nationality, especially since borders were created by colonisers. The people who assumed she was mixed probs don't have many East African friends for reference
I recently found an entry in 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica about the Franks specifically the Salic Franks near modern day Belgium northern France were described as red and fair haired. Also the Bosque in northern Spain have red hair too! Oh and a large population of red heads in Chechnya! It was interesting to have a conversation with some Russian nationals about it (MMA community) and they thought I was the most Chechen looking American they had ever seen lol! While I do have some Irish and Scottish sprinkled in, the genealogy (if accurate) points to Salic Franks. My genealogy gets a little disputed around 1600s where there are dissenting opinions about the connection of Pierce to Percy.
Have you seen Kipchak Turks...majority of them has red hair, just look at the people of tatarstan in Russia, they all have pale white skin, red hair but central asian slanted eyes.
It’s really sad that people were giving her disparaging comments because of how she looked as if there are multiple phenotypes in Africa.I recently did my DNA results and I found out that my ancestors are Fulani from Nigeria.Celani people are typically more light skin than the traditional been to people of Africa most people associate Africans with people used to always ask me growing up if I was mixed in both of my parents are definitely black
Did you watch the video n saw her reaction when she was told she had some kenyan blood! She was not exicited! But was only excitera to hear of arab blood! Do ur math!
It’s not so much Africa as it is black. Black is generally associated with sub Saharan Africans. Ethiopians look mixed because they are mixed with non black races. So no, black people don’t have those features. The closest thing would be the Fulani but they are technically mixed as well. I don’t understand the incessant need to over define ourselves. Africa is sooo “diverse”yet everyone there has to be black? Black people look like most people expect and the ones that look mixed tend to be mixed.
It’s be nice to have the person you’re viewing in the bigger space. And as for her and her brother, aside from shade difference and eyebrow thickness difference I think they would look like twins.
I agree, and I'm happy I did not test with them... (they were just toooooo expensive)... the only thing is that 23&Me does not recognize other Jewish ancestries but Ashkenazi (I've been told I look like I could be Romani, and many other... but these don't appear as such.. but maybe "country" wise they would)... I truly wish 23&Me would add other Jewish populations, Shephardi, Ashkenazi, and all the in between of North, West, Sub-Saharan, Asian, etc..) this would be so beneficial to those of Iberian, Italian, and "American Continent" Countries, that so many Jews had to hide their "true being" to stay alive
I agree! I was told we had distant Sephardic Jewish ancestry from Greece (on my South American part) and Ancestry DNA says I am 1% Ashkenazi, 1% Turkish and, 1% Middle Eastern (the 3 elements which might make up Sephardic from Greece??) and my aunt did get 10% Greek which I didn't. They need to fine tune Sephardic.
These DNA companies lack data for nilotic dna i don't is it intentionally or its necessary,its important to include ancient nilotic dna because nilotes are the most ancient people through out east Africa entirely, its necessary if we are going the accurate genealogy of east Africans
You do know that there is an African tribe called Muir. In Sudan, Moor means “black man”. Take note that they invaded Europe long ago and dominated until the 1400s. They were big on mixing. Also, there are very dark Arabs who are indigenous as they will tell you such as Bedouin. They will argue with pride that they are original and have been there for ages. Some of them state that they are African but pure original indigenous people.
I did a DNA test for a local health study through a hospital. They used Helix for the health side and National Geographic 2.0 for the ancestry side. I found my ancestry results through National Geographic to be very basic and hard to understand, and I didn't know if they did an admixture or only mitochondrial testing for my ancestry. Since National Geographic closed their side of things, I recently learned that Helix has produced an ancestry side as well as the health side, and it is much more detailed. It is through this test that I learned about having 6.7% Ashkenazic Jewish markers, whereas Ancestry listed that portion of my DNA as Germanic Europe. I downloaded the Helix DNA information and uploaded it to My Heritage and received similar Ashkenazic Jewish percentages...6.5% Anyway, back to the National Geographic test, I wonder who inherited her National Geographic 2.0 test, since mine went to Helix.
It seems to me, many people underestimate how much migration has occurred from the beginning of time. At best we might know our background 5-10 generations back, and there are tons of history before that. On an unrelated note, the Jewish manager I had corkscrew hair like hers... super tight.
I'm an Israeli (born and raised) both of my parents are Ethiopian Jews came from a religious community in Gonder area. Myheritage is an Israeli company they actually had a Jewish Ethiopian category also have yemenite Jewish, sephardic Jewish and ashkenazi Jews categories.
Hi Rachel, can you email me at millionjoseph@gmail.com. I have a friend who is looking for her family who are Ethiopian Jew and she needs help tracing them.
@@geneticnomad8720 No. They don't have other Ethiopian groups beside Ethiopian Jewish (Beta Israel) so all Ethiopians & Eritreans get Ethiopian Jewish.
Ooh I’m from the Horn of Africa too and made a comparison of 3 different DNA tests. Would be interested to see what you think about it/if you could clarify things.
I disagree with you. Judaism is not a race it is a religion. I recommend people visit Israel and see the diversity and you'll soon see that Judaism is NOT a race.
In the final analysis, everyone in the world is the decedents of Shem, Ham, or Japheth ( sons of Noah) or the combination of the two or the three. “Nothing is new under the sun”.
Yeah, at the end of the day none of this really matter. people get so pressed and caught up in this things hence racism and tribalism. Noah Noah Noah if only you let that boat sink lol
I have seen so many African DNA results on UA-cam over the years. All those who show 100% African results are from West Africa. Although Ethiopia is in East Africa, it is not the only East African country. And like Eritria and Somalia, they are closer to Arab nations and all that area and their nothern neighbours was part of the miscegenation zone.
There is nothing like 100% African result, africa is a geographic location and not an ethnicity stop confusing yourself, even in west Africa we have some diverse group for example sudan has over 600ethnic group with very diverse features so there is nothing like an african look per say. Besides ethiopia is older than middle east so it is the other way round , arabs have some ethiopian features
There's 80 different ethnic groups/tribes and we all look different. Northerners tend to be the face of the country though and that's due to history just like any country. Our dna with other Africans varies the same as someone from outside our race that's how diverse we are.
Interesting I’m Ethiopian American people always ask me if I’m mixed with some Arab or something my answer is always I’m pure African I guess never know till I take that test.
I get Indian a lot, but when i go to my favorite Indian restaurant, the owners ask if i am Pakistani. It's amusing to see people try to guess my ethnicity.
Hey Jarrett, this actually raised a question for me which maybe you can answer. What would Ethiopian Jews show up as on a standard Ancestry/23andMe/My Heritage test? Would it just show up as 'East African' or something more generic without really identifying Jewish DNA, as her test did? Obviously it wouldn't show up as Ashkenazi Jewish. As far as I know the big testing companies don't have a categorization for "Jewish diaspora" (or at least I've never seen it).
There are West Africans who look exactly like her as well. I had a girlfriend with similar features to her who is Fulbe. Fulbe, Tuaregs, Shuwa, Mauritanians are also quite mixed.
Kenya and Ethiopia actually have historical relations especially due to the fact that the two countries share a boarder so interrelationships and old trade routes will actually prove a mix among most east Africans....
I have a good friend whose mother is South African from the San tribe, and her father is Swiss. She's really light skinned, almost porcelain-like, she has black straight hair, very high cheek bones and her eyes have partial epicanthic folds. When people see her, almost everybody thinks she's Asian.
Ethiopia has had contact with ancient Egypt since the earliest times, ancient Rome etc. There are biblical characters who were Ethiopian like the Queen of Sheba.
Don't go around brother/sister a person can swim to Yemen from Djibouti its just 60km. it may even be closer some time ago. also Axum has ruled Ethiopia, Sudan and Yemen. Just say People come and People go.
Ethiopians are a diverse people we have over 80+ tribes so any African can look Ethiopian we have dark blue skinned people in gambella . Greek geographers in the past referred to north Ethiopians as Indian looking. They still call us that today so we have stayed the same for many years. In my family we have diverse features my grandma is very lightskin and a lot of us are brown skin with curly hair. I’m half Ethiopian btw my other half is dougla but I still look Ethiopian.
I have a Kenyan friend who said that they have some Ethiopian and Sudanese ancestry. So it would make sense if the reverse is also true, Ethiopians having traces of Kenyan tribal ancestry.
Irish/Scottish because of the ginger. I'd have guessed Hungarian Jewish because of Louis C.K. - sorry if that's a negative comparison. I'm Scottish. I just Googled you and you are using a VERY common Scottish surname ROSS, so maybe that's why you get Scots. I'm Scottish and Ross is about as common as it gets. It's common given name and surname in Scotland and there is clan Ross. But sure nothing more Scottish than a ginger beard (it's cold here) and the name Ross. I might get a DNA test. I know I am Scots, Viking and have Spanish and Irish great-great-grandparents. Great video.
Interesting comment on the Irish. Take a look at the linguistics of Irish and Hebrew. The Celts originated in the Near East. Both 21:13 languages are VSO, and there are a few cognates in both languages. I am not suggesting there is a DNA connection due to the divergence and mix of other people over thousands of years, but it does suggest possible similar origins in the near east.
I think it’s also which company you use how many more people they’ve in their databases. My family came high in our Jewish ancestry 53% . I think if she does it now it’ll be more accurate.
Based on my own results from 23AndMe, which I know isn’t the same, I would still assume that the “first” group means the “most” percentage, indicating that she is more Kenyan than Ethiopian. My understanding of Ethiopian Jewish ancestry is that the majority of Ethiopian Jews today descend from a group of Africans, without original Jewish ancestry, who converted as a group. The reason Ethiopian Jews may have also have percentages of Jewish diaspora ancestry, which the original Ethiopian group likely didn’t have, is simply because other original diaspora Jews mixed with Ethiopian Jews, after they were accepted because of their mass conversion.
You wrong ethiopian jew come to ethiopia in 4 Ethiopian Jews exiled to Ethiopia through 4 ways Some came with the Queen of Sheba who came tribes from Judea Some came through the Nile from Egypt and settled in the Tana area Some came from Yemen which is tribes from Israel for example the tribe of Dan descended towards Cush
That makes sense. There used to be a Jewish kingdom in south Arabia called kingdom of Himyar. The ruler of the kingdom conveyed to Judaism and the est of the land made Jewish. But then Ethiopia, who was Christian, with the help of a Byzantine emperor, invaded Himyar and put an end to the Jewish kingdom. So I’m not surprised that she has DNA from south Arabia.
I taught in an inner city junior college years ago. All but one person were dark skinned American Born African Americans. The one person with white skin was named Jamal from Tanzania and he was the only Africa born person in the class. I beleive his ancestory was Arab.
I love results like these. So many people are surprised to learn that there are different types of Jewish communities and Ashkenazi Jews aren't the only Jews. Jews were dispersed all over the world.
Kenya borders ethiopia to the south, the population of that part of kenya is the same from addis ababa to the tana river district of kenya...most of them are from oromo ethnicity (90%)
Josephus gives an account of the nation of Cush, son of Ham and grandson of Noah: "For of the four sons of Ham, time has not at all hurt the name of Cush; for the Ethiopians, over whom he reigned, are even at this day, both by themselves and by all men in Asia, called Cushites"
The interesting thing is that E-M125 Is a genetic halo group That originates in Ethiopia due to it being at high’s cluster but is spread around in large levels in North Africa, the gulf region, and in some parts of the Middle East. This is due to the Aksum empire conquered Egypt and most of the southern part of the gulf region under Queen of Sheba.The heat is primarily because a lot of Bantus have some self-inflicted hatred towards Ethiopians and East Africans Due to them having beauty standards that match most contemporary Standards of both Africa and Europe and most of the orient. Also given the fact that Ethiopia was never colonized and has a deep history with Egypt a lot of black supremacists like “hoteps” Have made it their mission to completely co-opt or even disregard the cultural connection to classical antiquity civilizations to Ethiopians
Years ago I saw a documentary on PBS about a community in southern Africa. The men were tested and their Y-DNA matched to the Cohen haplogroup. I wouldn't be surprised if they were descendants of Ethiopian Jews who migrated.
If she is from the tribe of Oromo, there is a chance that she can have Kenyan DNA since the Oromo tribe migrated north from the south. I know there are Oromo tribe people who are Kenyan.
@@teklemic1898 There is no such thing as Kenyan DNA, there is only one DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, which forms a strand which is built with four different A, G, C, and T what her test result shows is a match between her DNA pattern and some other people from Kenya that have done this test. and we all humans share high percentage of our DNA so we all have a some portion of the strand pattern that we share. I assume your name is Tekle Michael. You have to be aware we are not created separately That is why both Ethiopians and Kenyan are good at long distance running that piece of DNA we share.
In my country we can range from dark to light skin even though the later is less common so I'm not surprised,I always thought Ethiopians at least the tribe she's from + habesha looked mixed with arabs
Ethiopia has a vast diversity of tribes from Oromo, Tigrey, Amhara peoples and Beta Israel, you really can't see that are one specific ethnic group. North Africans like the Amazigh (Berbers) are very closely genetically related to some Ethiopian populations as well as Somalis. Y DNA E1b1b which is also prevalent in Arabia populations which can also be tied into her Jewish ancestry. Of note she didn't have any European ancestry but maybe Asia Minor which could be ancient Greek/Italian or Turkey. I believe from these old results do match what she really is which a person from Ethiopia formally Abyssinia which was an empire that included countries in West Asia like Yemen.
First of all, I believe the genetic test is biased in my eyes. So if we have an anthropological test which confirms, Africa is the origion of human kind, the DNA tests should likely arise from testing the current Africans and comparing it to the results. I dont know if its clear, but I don't think Africa is represented enough on the dna ancestory test to explain the exact place where the people are from like Cushitic, Omotic, Semetic ...
They used Luhya as their reference population as they most likely don't have access to DNA to a genetically closer population that is less admixed. Being that she is Ethio-Semitic, a better reference would have been the DNA of Mota. However, a lot of these commercial DNA companies have very limited DNA samples.
Ethiopia itself is a diverse multi-ethnic country. We need to be specific which part of the country is we are speaking of. If she is from the Oromo ethnic group, it is true that these ethnic group migrated to the interior parts of the country from what is now largely Kenya.

When I saw some young men from Chicago who had copper hair I was so excited and then later on I started looking up people from Africa who had read here also and I thought that was just so awesome I wish I had known about this when I was younger. I'm 71 so I'm gray now.
Would be amazing to see, take a test and find out!
I went to school with a girl with reddish hair and my hair now is turning honey brown at the ends. I think it's always been brownish, but at first I thought it was a reaction to relaxer, then I thought it was dirt. There's always something causing my hair not to be black. 😂

Ethiopia is very diverse. So let's be careful when talking about Ethiopia as a single group. You can't claim "Ethiopians" are mixed when there are 80 other tribes that are all different. People always assume that she is the typical Ethiopian look because people don't really do their homework. I look completely different from how she looks but we are both of Ethiopian descent.
80 to 95 percent are mixed
@@amanuelseyoum7851 where is your proof that you are quoting. What are the mixtures? If you are saying mixed among the tribes yes that is correct. However they are referring to how much is mixed with middle eastern and that is not even close to half. It is quite complicated to explain but you can look it up regarding the maternal mitochondria l DNA and the haplogrouping among the general ethiopian populace. Ancestrally it is hard to determine the exact origins because we are far from being homogenous. Like anyother place we are not an island so expect genetic similarities with neighboring countries. It is cringeworthy though to refer to Ethiopians as one homogenous block.

Thank you!!!!! Am so tired of explaining myself
Like the lady said, Africans are the most genetically diverse people on the planet and Africans have migrated from one region to another since the beginning of time so to say one person looks more or less African is ridiculous because what is an African supposed to look like because having dark skin, broad noses and full lips are characteristics that could be found anong the people of Asia and many people throughout the world, so basically an African is someone who is indigenous to the continent of Africa whether they are dark skinned people of Senegal or light skinned people of Southern Africa such as the San or Xhosa .
@Chevalier Rish many ancient historian classified ethiopians as ones with the fuzzy hair and the others ethiopians as Indian with straight hair.😳😳😀😀😀😀😀
Very interesting. I’m 97% Ethiopian according to 23 and me and yet I am about 5 shades lighter than her and look more “middle eastern” looking. Just goes to show how diverse Africa is
Just because now they just lump all Ethiopian dna into one category...her test was done years ago, and back then, they teased out the different dna. When I did mine years ago, I had middle Eastern and East African dna...now, both of these are lumped together under Ethiopian dna
I’m Somali and just found out my maternal line is (DNA test) Ethiopian Jew. You never know what you get.
You do get that results like 'Ethiopian' or 'North African' disprove Black ancestry. Both of these categories are essentially West Asian racial categories. Not Black ones. Yes they are native to Africa but Africa doesn‘t consist only of Blacks. 'Ethiopian' or same categories with other names in those DNA test results indicate the Ethio-Somali component. A West Asian racial category which is closest to modern Arabian. Essentially both Arabians/Arabs and Horn Africans descend from a common people. The first descendants of these common ancient ancestors were the Cushitic speakers, several thousand years later the Semitic speaking descendant arrived, overwhelmingly Sabean South Arabians
97% Ethiopian doesn‘t mean 97% indigenous African in DNA results. It just means 97% Ethiopian-Somali/Southwest Asian
Nah that’s means you’re mixed

Luhya is a tribe here in Kenya. A very large group in Western Kenya. Very interesting stuff. I think this is very accurate because based on the image on the maternal dna map, it pointed on areas where the Bantu migrated from (Luhyas are Bantus).
Luhya genetics aren't really purely Bantu, there is a lot of Nilotic and Hadza assimilations when the Bantu expanded into East Africa, but in general the DNA results supports the fact that all over the horn were inhabited by the same people in East Africa before the successive incoming migrations from the middle East assimilated most of them in the horn of Africa region but in different percentages. if you notice most Ethiopian males have paternal haplogroups from the middle while there is a lot of maternal mtDNA present as well.

Fascinating video, Jarrett! Thanks for your insights.

there are two groups of "black" African who have shown positive DNA for ancient middle eastern Jews. Ethiopians in the horn of Africa of course and The Lemba, a Bantu-speaking people of southern Africa, The Lemba's oral traditions claim their Jewish ancestors fled the middle east around the time of the fall of the first temple and were members of the priestly caste. Their Y DNA would seem to confirm that origin.
Lemba have Yemeni DMA not Jewish
More hv come up am one and am kenyan!
@@admirekashiri9879 I am sorry but the Lemba test positive for a male Y chromosome common to the traditional priestly cast of Jews. Which is in line with their oral traditions and remnant religious practices. So much so that Israeli religious organizations have dispatched missionaries to help bring the Lemba in line with Rabbinical Judaism. At this point, the debate of their oral historical assertions are for the most part done.
@Anonymus X the Lemba are Israelites they are Levite’s the name Lemba is a Bantu pronunciation for Levi there’s no (v) in Bantu only (m/b)
@Clement McKenzie Yes, you are correct; you're referring to the CMH or Cohen Modal Haplotype. Most with the name Kohen belonged to this priestly class, Cohen=Priest. It has also been found in limited samples of Ethiopian Jews as well. For several given reasons which I don't precisely recall, the presence of the CMH in Ethiopian groups is believed to have come from trade, one or a small group of merchants who travelled to the region. The Lemba have a stronger connection with more frequency of the CMH.
Don’t come fussing I’m not a bible scholar but I remember hearing when Moses ran from Egypt he married an Ethiopian woman named Zippora 🤷🏽♀️
This was interesting.
The US Army, in the 1960's decided that Ethiopia (Eritrea today) was the exact place to send me.
I was amazed by the country, and found it very diverse. Ethiopians, in fact, are cool, with an astounding history. I later found myself in Isreal, and spent a couple of days with the Sergeant-Major of the Isreali Army. Interestingly, he had been born in Ethiopia, and had fought with Mark Clark in Italy.
Everybody, in my opinion, ought to spend some time Ethiopia.
By the way, the lady in the video looks American, but I suspect that is an artifact of being born in America.
The world is wide, and the people in it, amazing, just amazing.
Kenya is on the border with ethiopia, there are in east africa nomadic tribes who might have been migrated to the north (ethiopia). Still now tribes from ethiopia and kenya live in eachother countries for centuries. The same thing for somalis and south sudanes like gambella or Benishangul Gemuz of ethiopia.

At one point Ethiopia extended into modern day Yemen and Saudi Arabia. People are confused because they are using modern borders that were defined by Europeans, who later conquered those lands and changed the borders.
When you get these DNA results, you need to keep in mind that the current borders we have today were not always there. They are recent borders that were defined by Europeans. Before the Europeans, people use to cross-over, and there was no such a thing as Kenya, Ethiopia, Somali, Yemen, and The Middle East and etc.

I recently found an entry in 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica about the Franks specifically the Salic Franks near modern day Belgium northern France were described as red and fair haired. Also the Bosque in northern Spain have red hair too! Oh and a large population of red heads in Chechnya! It was interesting to have a conversation with some Russian nationals about it (MMA community) and they thought I was the most Chechen looking American they had ever seen lol! While I do have some Irish and Scottish sprinkled in, the genealogy (if accurate) points to Salic Franks. My genealogy gets a little disputed around 1600s where there are dissenting opinions about the connection of Pierce to Percy.

It’s not so much Africa as it is black. Black is generally associated with sub Saharan Africans. Ethiopians look mixed because they are mixed with non black races. So no, black people don’t have those features. The closest thing would be the Fulani but they are technically mixed as well. I don’t understand the incessant need to over define ourselves. Africa is sooo “diverse”yet everyone there has to be black? Black people look like most people expect and the ones that look mixed tend to be mixed.

I agree, and I'm happy I did not test with them... (they were just toooooo expensive)... the only thing is that 23&Me does not recognize other Jewish ancestries but Ashkenazi (I've been told I look like I could be Romani, and many other... but these don't appear as such.. but maybe "country" wise they would)...
I truly wish 23&Me would add other Jewish populations, Shephardi, Ashkenazi, and all the in between of North, West, Sub-Saharan, Asian, etc..) this would be so beneficial to those of Iberian, Italian, and "American Continent" Countries, that so many Jews had to hide their "true being" to stay alive
I agree! I was told we had distant Sephardic Jewish ancestry from Greece (on my South American part) and Ancestry DNA says I am 1% Ashkenazi, 1% Turkish and, 1% Middle Eastern (the 3 elements which might make up Sephardic from Greece??) and my aunt did get 10% Greek which I didn't. They need to fine tune Sephardic.
Perhaps you can try to look up Elis Island or Census results to get last names....some names are more Jewish.
Aschkenazy and Sefardic are genetically similar. Thats why they lump it together
They (23andme) identified my mother as low percentage Sephardic, which surprised our family.
These DNA companies lack data for nilotic dna i don't is it intentionally or its necessary,its important to include ancient nilotic dna because nilotes are the most ancient people through out east Africa entirely, its necessary if we are going the accurate genealogy of east Africans

@Anonymus X Stop spreading crap, You don't know the Ethnic demography of this region.
You do know that there is an African tribe called Muir. In Sudan, Moor means “black man”. Take note that they invaded Europe long ago and dominated until the 1400s. They were big on mixing. Also, there are very dark Arabs who are indigenous as they will tell you such as Bedouin. They will argue with pride that they are original and have been there for ages. Some of them state that they are African but pure original indigenous people.
I did a DNA test for a local health study through a hospital. They used Helix for the health side and National Geographic 2.0 for the ancestry side. I found my ancestry results through National Geographic to be very basic and hard to understand, and I didn't know if they did an admixture or only mitochondrial testing for my ancestry. Since National Geographic closed their side of things, I recently learned that Helix has produced an ancestry side as well as the health side, and it is much more detailed. It is through this test that I learned about having 6.7% Ashkenazic Jewish markers, whereas Ancestry listed that portion of my DNA as Germanic Europe. I downloaded the Helix DNA information and uploaded it to My Heritage and received similar Ashkenazic Jewish percentages...6.5% Anyway, back to the National Geographic test, I wonder who inherited her National Geographic 2.0 test, since mine went to Helix.
DNA results are fascinating, I really gotta get around to doing a test.

I have seen so many African DNA results on UA-cam over the years. All those who show 100% African results are from West Africa. Although Ethiopia is in East Africa, it is not the only East African country. And like Eritria and Somalia, they are closer to Arab nations and all that area and their nothern neighbours was part of the miscegenation zone.
There is nothing like 100% African result, africa is a geographic location and not an ethnicity stop confusing yourself, even in west Africa we have some diverse group for example sudan has over 600ethnic group with very diverse features so there is nothing like an african look per say. Besides ethiopia is older than middle east so it is the other way round , arabs have some ethiopian features
There's 80 different ethnic groups/tribes and we all look different. Northerners tend to be the face of the country though and that's due to history just like any country. Our dna with other Africans varies the same as someone from outside our race that's how diverse we are.

Hey Jarrett, this actually raised a question for me which maybe you can answer. What would Ethiopian Jews show up as on a standard Ancestry/23andMe/My Heritage test? Would it just show up as 'East African' or something more generic without really identifying Jewish DNA, as her test did? Obviously it wouldn't show up as Ashkenazi Jewish. As far as I know the big testing companies don't have a categorization for "Jewish diaspora" (or at least I've never seen it).
There are West Africans who look exactly like her as well. I had a girlfriend with similar features to her who is Fulbe. Fulbe, Tuaregs, Shuwa, Mauritanians are also quite mixed.
Its mixe race , lol.
Kenya and Ethiopia actually have historical relations especially due to the fact that the two countries share a boarder so interrelationships and old trade routes will actually prove a mix among most east Africans....

Interesting comment on the Irish. Take a look at the linguistics of Irish and Hebrew. The Celts originated in the Near East. Both 21:13 languages are VSO, and there are a few cognates in both languages.

@@lilricky5050 they don’t like arabs they don’t want to have have any mixed arab blood
I think it’s also which company you use how many more people they’ve in their databases. My family came high in our Jewish ancestry 53% . I think if she does it now it’ll be more accurate.
Based on my own results from 23AndMe, which I know isn’t the same, I would still assume that the “first” group means the “most” percentage, indicating that she is more Kenyan than Ethiopian. My understanding of Ethiopian Jewish ancestry is that the majority of Ethiopian Jews today descend from a group of Africans, without original Jewish ancestry, who converted as a group. The reason Ethiopian Jews may have also have percentages of Jewish diaspora ancestry, which the original Ethiopian group likely didn’t have, is simply because other original diaspora Jews mixed with Ethiopian Jews, after they were accepted because of their mass conversion.
You wrong ethiopian jew come to ethiopia in 4 Ethiopian Jews exiled to Ethiopia through 4 ways Some came with the Queen of Sheba who came tribes from Judea Some came through the Nile from Egypt and settled in the Tana area Some came from Yemen which is tribes from Israel for example the tribe of Dan descended towards Cush
Go to the yechzekl in Bible and see tribes of Israel down to cush
That makes sense. There used to be a Jewish kingdom in south Arabia called kingdom of Himyar. The ruler of the kingdom conveyed to Judaism and the est of the land made Jewish. But then Ethiopia, who was Christian, with the help of a Byzantine emperor, invaded Himyar and put an end to the Jewish kingdom. So I’m not surprised that she has DNA from south Arabia.
I taught in an inner city junior college years ago. All but one person were dark skinned American Born African Americans. The one person with white skin was named Jamal from Tanzania and he was the only Africa born person in the class. I beleive his ancestory was Arab.
He was more probably a Swahili person, whose DNA is bantu, Arabic, portugese, Indian and sometimes chinese.
The answer below, more acurate
I love results like these. So many people are surprised to learn that there are different types of Jewish communities and Ashkenazi Jews aren't the only Jews. Jews were dispersed all over the world.
Kenya borders ethiopia to the south, the population of that part of kenya is the same from addis ababa to the tana river district of kenya...most of them are from oromo ethnicity (90%)
Just discovered your channel today ❤
recent updated genetic test shhows they"rent mixed "THAT mutch" . this video is too old
I'm not sure if you read comments but a Sudanese girl did a dna test and another Ethiopian...they got above 90% East African in their specific region
I have seen a couple of Ancestry DNA Ethiopian results and they were mostly "Ethiopian" with 20 to 10% Middle East, and also some East African.
Most of the Ethiopian ancestry i saw had 20-70%eurasian
@@AMR_k40070% are they even African at that point?
Josephus gives an account of the nation of Cush, son of Ham and grandson of Noah: "For of the four sons of Ham, time has not at all hurt the name of Cush; for the Ethiopians, over whom he reigned, are even at this day, both by themselves and by all men in Asia, called Cushites"
The interesting thing is that E-M125 Is a genetic halo group That originates in Ethiopia due to it being at high’s cluster but is spread around in large levels in North Africa, the gulf region, and in some parts of the Middle East. This is due to the Aksum empire conquered Egypt and most of the southern part of the gulf region under Queen of Sheba.The heat is primarily because a lot of Bantus have some self-inflicted hatred towards Ethiopians and East Africans Due to them having beauty standards that match most contemporary Standards of both Africa and Europe and most of the orient. Also given the fact that Ethiopia was never colonized and has a deep history with Egypt a lot of black supremacists like “hoteps” Have made it their mission to completely co-opt or even disregard the cultural connection to classical antiquity civilizations to Ethiopians
Uhhh we always credit Ethiopia what are you talking about? Especially when it comes to ancient Egypt
Years ago I saw a documentary on PBS about a community in southern Africa. The men were tested and their Y-DNA matched to the Cohen haplogroup. I wouldn't be surprised if they were descendants of Ethiopian Jews who migrated.
If she is from the tribe of Oromo, there is a chance that she can have Kenyan DNA since the Oromo tribe migrated north from the south. I know there are Oromo tribe people who are Kenyan.
I don't think she has a Kenyan DNA at all
@@teklemic1898 There is no such thing as Kenyan DNA, there is only one DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, which forms a strand which is built with four different A, G, C, and T what her test result shows is a match between her DNA pattern and some other people from Kenya that have done this test. and we all humans share high percentage of our DNA so we all have a some portion of the strand pattern that we share. I assume your name is Tekle Michael.
You have to be aware we are not created separately That is why both Ethiopians and Kenyan are good at long distance running that piece of DNA we share.
In my country we can range from dark to light skin even though the later is less common so I'm not surprised,I always thought Ethiopians at least the tribe she's from + habesha looked mixed with arabs
Ethiopia has a vast diversity of tribes from Oromo, Tigrey, Amhara peoples and Beta Israel, you really can't see that are one specific ethnic group. North Africans like the Amazigh (Berbers) are very closely genetically related to some Ethiopian populations as well as Somalis. Y DNA E1b1b which is also prevalent in Arabia populations which can also be tied into her Jewish ancestry. Of note she didn't have any European ancestry but maybe Asia Minor which could be ancient Greek/Italian or Turkey. I believe from these old results do match what she really is which a person from Ethiopia formally Abyssinia which was an empire that included countries in West Asia like Yemen.
The maternal haplogroup L2 may have come out of the area of Kenya in ancient times.
First of all, I believe the genetic test is biased in my eyes. So if we have an anthropological test which confirms, Africa is the origion of human kind, the DNA tests should likely arise from testing the current Africans and comparing it to the results. I dont know if its clear, but I don't think Africa is represented enough on the dna ancestory test to explain the exact place where the people are from like Cushitic, Omotic, Semetic ...
They used Luhya as their reference population as they most likely don't have access to DNA to a genetically closer population that is less admixed. Being that she is Ethio-Semitic, a better reference would have been the DNA of Mota. However, a lot of these commercial DNA companies have very limited DNA samples.
Her family is very good looking.
Ethiopia itself is a diverse multi-ethnic country. We need to be specific which part of the country is we are speaking of. If she is from the Oromo ethnic group, it is true that these ethnic group migrated to the interior parts of the country from what is now largely Kenya.
Beautiful Ethiopian lady, PLEASE let me know where you got your stunning dress and shawl.
It’s Ethiopian traditional cloth
My genetics say 50% Ethiopian Jews, 14% Yemenite Jew, 4% Askenazi Jew.
