No input? It would have been completely fascinating if a formal study could have been done to reveal SSA genetics in Ethiopians, there must be(?) Take a look at what is going on here http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3267/...8cc8d22cec.jpg a formal examination would have been perfect. What could be said about genetics?

They look very Negroid to me on average. It's mostly the hype on Anthroforums that they aren't negroid. They're mostly Negroid but some sections have significant Caucasian admixture as well. I've seen ones that look very caucasoid, like Haile Selassie.

Lol, what is this thread all about? Are you implying the new generation of Ethiopians are getting blacker? http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...s/confused.gif

The "caucasoid" looking (for lack of a better word) ethiopians are mostly in the north of the country. |
It actually depends on the ethnicity...
I've seen some of the photos , many kids you call "Negroid" are actually Aethiopid (skin color doesnt mean anything , or we can conclude that Dravidians are also Negroid in that way http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/ohmy.gif). |

Well the Gumuz also known as Shanquella are Nilitoc people probably from Sudan that have spilled over. They have some REALLY good interesting music by the way for people that are interesting in Traditional music. The first time I heard the Vuvuzelas . many people that also look like them with VERY Dark skin are usually originally from Sudan. Not that you cant find pitch black people in Ethiopia but you should clearly be able to differentiate "Nilotic" people. Gumuz speak Nilo Saharan. As far as the "Omo", cant really see who they are but they may be from Sudan too, cant tell.
Other than that Just about ALL those pictures are "regular" Ethiopians. When in Ethiopia this is what you see. Anthropology message boards just have you tricked because they have been "orgasming" over the same circulated photos of Haile Selassie look-a-likes. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/laugh.gif Those photos are the representations of the Brown Skin "Caucasoids" You picture list , best described as "Just some MORE Negroes that happen to live in Ethiopia" shows the people that carry high frequency of underived Pn2*, E-M35* M1a E2, And all those other Rare genetic markers unique to Ethiopia but supposedly come from somewhere else........... You know what will really mess with your head. Ask an Ethiopian to go through the pictures and tell you who is Amhara, the group that is supposed to be the "Most mixed Ethiopians" http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...s/evilgrin.gif |

You are chosing children.
Which is probably partially why. Everyone's features are probably closer to negroid when we are younger. As our noses are generally smaller & are skulls have not gained a higher vault yet. |
This is a stupid thread. Half those pictured were Amharas, some were Nilotids, some were Omotic or Southwestern Cushitic groups with Omotic genetics. I don't see anything atypical about the Amharas and Oromos (some of them looked Oromo, but I could be wrong) children that you posted.

More foolishness on the anthroforum. My gosh, Ethiopia is a such a diverse place with varying phenotypes, which is not uncommon for other parts of the continent. Simply, we don't get the see this diversity in the media. This typical 'Negroid' look that is supposedly reserved for certain regions of Africa is a myth.
*I am not one to get wrapped up in all of these classifications as if they are region specific. Re-emergence implies that somehow these physical traits were hidden. These traits are not hidden, the people in these regions aren't hiding from themselves. Many folks just have not done adequate research or choose to be ignorant to the fact. As I said, we don't get full access to the wide spectrum of African diversity via media outlets. Therefore, we're conditioned to believe what we believe. |
There are so many ethnic groups in Ethiopia. Some of them are out and out Negroids. Depending on who you choose, you can have a "fruit salad" of Ethiopian phenotypes. But it proves nothing but Ethiopia has a lot of ethnic groups.

Well, kids usually don't develop their features completely until they grow older, so they could end up looking more aethiopid as they grow older
