Nnnn Middle Eastern and South East African is the quintessence Ethiopian DNA result... Don't think that should be hard to believe, given their phenotype and culture.

You just love rambling without a clue in the world

News flash: Ethiopians don't have similar phenotype or culture to Middle Easterns. You need to meet more people because you keep assuming that Ethiopians are light skin with soft hair which is false. Most Ethiopians have brown skin.

?We found that some Ethiopians have 40-50% of their genome closer to the genomes of populations outside of Africa, while the remaining half of their genome is closer to populations within the African continent,? said Dr Toomas Kivisild of the University of Cambridge, a co-author on the study. ?We calculated genetic distances and found that these non-African regions of the genome are closest to populations in Egypt, Israel and Syria, rather than to the neighbouring Yemeni and Arabs?.

This obviously doesn't apply to me because that 55% is mainly on Yemen and Saudi Arabia, not Israel or Syria.

Habesha look and culture is much closer to Middle Eastern culture than any other Non-Maghreb African countries.

The result you posted, by whom is it?

And I meet PLENTY PLENTY fckn Somalis, Ethiopians, Eritreans, Djibuteans, etc. every damn day. Am bout sick of being invited over for injerra tbh... And Ethiopians are all over Palestine and Israel as well.



But your quote basically confirms what I said. Ethiopians are usually, or very often just a mix of black African and Semitic.

Why does this ancestry test break Latino blood down to European/African/Native, but not Middle Eastern?

Or is Middle Eastern considered more of a seperate race than Latino?

It's not a "race".

I think that's where the confusion comes in with these labels. It's saying you have ancestry in the "Middle East". Meaning that somewhere within this enormously vast area, you have roots. It's not saying you are "Middle Eastern". I think when we hear or see that term, we often see someone with a turban on their heads or something. It's the first image that pops into our heads, especially as Americans.

But this Middle East area is right next to Africa, but further up in Africa. So people who have more NE African roots will get a heaping of it.
