		<description>I realize this is late, but just in case someone comes back&gt;&gt;

I know the Y-DNA E* has been covered for the Falasha (Beta Israel, &#039;Black Jews&#039;).  I thought it important to also include the matrillineal lineage most dominant also.

Ethiopian Mitochondrial DNA Heritage: Tracking Gene Flow Across and Around the Gate of Tears

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1182106/

“Approximately 10 miles separate the Horn of Africa from the Arabian Peninsula at Bab-el-Mandeb (the Gate of Tears). Both historic and archaeological evidence indicate tight cultural connections, over millennia, between these two regions. High-resolution phylogenetic analysis of 270 Ethiopian and 115 Yemeni mitochondrial DNAs was performed in a worldwide context, to explore gene flow across the Red and Arabian Seas. Nine distinct subclades, including three newly defined ones, were found to characterize entirely the variation of Ethiopian and Yemeni L3 lineages. 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 and sub-Saharan African populations.

“A majority of mtDNA lineages of Ethiopian Jews (Falasha or Beta Israel) derive from African-specific clades L0–L5 (Shen et al. 2004), including exact matches with Ethiopians sampled in the present study. Consistent with Y-chromosomal findings, this fact points to extensive admixture of Jews with the local population. A specific haplotype match in haplogroup (preHV)1—which is also widely spread in the Near East—between Ethiopian Jews and non-Jews is more problematic, because it is also possible that the non-Jews obtained the lineage from the Jews. This particular (preHV)1 haplotype, with a rare transversion at np 16305, (1) has not been detected, so far, among other Semitic populations of the Near East; whereas, (2) in Ethiopia, it occurs both among Cushitic and Semitic speakers; and, (3) in Ethiopian Jews, there are many sub-Saharan African lineages from haplogroups L0–L3. It is more likely, therefore, that the matching haplotype does not represent the incursion of Jewish maternal lineages into the Ethiopian gene pool but that this haplotype instead substantiates the extent of Ethiopian admixture in the Falasha population. Taken together, the influx of the elements of the Hebraic culture in the first centuries a.d. probably did not have a major impact on the genetic pool of Ethiopians, and the present-day Jews of Ethiopian descent probably assimilated genes from the local non-Jewish populations through conversion of the latter to Judaism. The other two episodes of intrusion of Semitic influence, related to contacts with southern Arabia, are weakly supported by our data. This is because, among the haplogroup N lineages present in high frequency in the Tigrais and other Ethiopian ethnic groups, only a few revealed close relationships with equivalent lineages present in southern Arabia.”</description>

I refer you to Professor Shlomo Sands of Tel Aviv University or Read about Ben Gurion and what he said about Igbo&#039;s. You can even contact Riz Khan of Aljazeera who interviewd Sands.

By the way Swazis,  Ndebeles, Zulus, etc have the surname Dhlomo.

You do the Maths and figure it out.</description>

		<description>I love reggae and rasta culture, but just because you want to be jewish and claim to be by manipulating the bible doesn&#039;t make you jewish.  It&#039;s okay, be proud of your own heritage but don&#039;t try to exclude people from theirs.  One Love.</description>

		<description>All those who have ears to hear  ,hear  My father had many other sons besides Solomon.I speak with the authority I am descended from David .King Solomon  advised his son Menelik 1 st  to take the Kings children with him back to Ethiopia with him.they did not stay in Ethiopia which was another Solomonic dynasty.Instead my fathers went to Mt Zion -a city built by David himself.</description>

		<description>I often wonder why do we want to be called Black Jews. One we are Black ,though we are dark. Two We arent Jews thats ust a ridicules title that seperates us.</description>

		<description>i dont think that the people of Mesapotamia were truely 100%black just like I dont think te Eygptians were at the end of their time. Though I think they were at the beginning.</description>

		<description>&quot;And when the Queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon...she came to &quot;PROVE&quot; Solomon with hard questions...&quot; 2 Chronicles 9:1 and 1 Kings 10:1.  This is recorded in the Bible... 

Now, does the COPY &quot;PROVE&quot; the ORIGINAL or does the ORIGINAL &quot;PROVE&quot; the COPY. Does the student test the teacher or does the teacher test the student. The Original was obviously in Africa, since the Queen of Sheba came to prove Solomon was a true of the noble African descendant. Modern Jews like all other tribes/races/peoplesare the descendants of those who migrated north from the cradle of civilisation.</description>
