Biher-Tigrinya and Tigre in Eritrea are NOT Habesha —Preceding unsigned comment added by Puhleec (talk • contribs) 00:59, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

What is wrong with you guys posting this crap?

The present composition of the Ethiopian population is the result of a complex and extensive intermixing of different peoples of North African, Near and Middle Eastern, and south-Saharan origin. The main groups inhabiting the country are the Amhara and the Tigray-Tigrinya people, descended from Arabian conquerors. The genetic distance analysis showed the separation between African and non-African populations, with the Amhara located in an intermediate position."

"On the basis of historical, linguistic, and genetic data, it has been suggested that the Ethiopian population has been strongly affected by Caucasoid migrations since Neolithic times. On the basis of autosomal polymorphic loci, it has been estimated that 60% of the Ethiopian gene pool has an African origin, whereas ~40% is of Caucasoid derivation."

This has been discarded. Ethiopians have little to no admixture on average. This information was made on some blog and dosent reflect reality. I removed it with more realistic facts.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.88.103.62 (talk • contribs)

according to People_of_Ethiopia#Genetic_studies,

A recent study based on cluster analysis that looked at a combined sample of Amhara and Oromo found that they share 62% of their genome with Caucasians, 24% with sub-Saharan Africans, 8% with Austro-Melanesians, and 6% with East Asians.

this is perfectly unsurprising seeing that Ethiopia is exactly on the boundary between the Near East and Sub-Saharan Africa. --dab (𒁳) 08:19, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

The article excluded the Oromo, mentioned only amhara, tigray, and guragay ... I believe many oromo might want to be included ... according to the Kibre Nagast, many first born hebrew noble sons accompanied Menelyik when he left Jerusalem to return home ... I believe after the reformation of the jewish state most jewish abesha emigrated to Israel, there are very few left in Ethiopia ... the name Abbyssinia comes from the greek word for black, and the name Eritrea comes from the greek word for red (as in, the red sea ...) ... the language of amarinnia has, I believe, a large number of words with roots common to aramaic and might be the closest living language to what Jesus spoke ... racially my eyes tell me that there is a serious mixture of semitic stock among the people, however, their resemblance to each other is stunning, suggesting that this mixture happened a long long time ago and then stopped ... I am no scholar, just a caucasian married to a habesha, friending others, learning the language and writing, and plural traveler. Coffee was first discovered in Ethiopia and the photograph of the coffee ceremony is very common but she is not a farmer, she is a live-in servant, this happens almost every day in the cities and even among diaspora communities ... and no, you could not drink a cup in one gulp if it was cold because it is so strong ... most habesha I know have terrible caffeine addictions ....

One book of the canon of the coptic (Orthodox) church is the Book of Enoch ... this material was lost to the council of Nicea and completely lost to the western world, but Jesus and Paul clearly were familiar with it and there are numerous references throughout the Bible to material in it ... there are pieces of it among the dead sea scrolls ... it is first rediscovered by western travelers to Ethiopia in the 1700's ...

hope this helps, I'm just talking ...

None sense

The gene pool and ancestry of Ethiopia is purely African with very little ad-mixture. The term "Caucasian" is not only outdated, but is flat out inaccurate. There is no such thing as a "Caucasian" race, the the Haplotypes and Clades that older anthropologists have labled "Caucasian" have yet to be proven to have evolved in Europe. The most likely, and most accurate way to describe it is in situ evolution, adaptation which created an indigenous African variant. There's nothing Caucasian, Asian, or European about it. It's for the most part, African.

"the current Ethiopian gene pool may be the product of in situ differentiation from an ancestral gene pool." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.118.205.171 (talk) 23:50, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi Habesha I want to know in this time what did got the population of ethiopian people & how many did we get in the world? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.96.226.93 (talk) 08:00, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
