Razib Khan has a new piece out on Ethiopian genetics in which he analyzes a sample of modern whole genomes and compares those from Ethiopia with those from elsewhere.
Bottom line: Ethiopian genetics are distinct both from sub-Saharan Bantus, Pygmies and Khoi-San, and from the people of the Levant and Southern Europe.
Standardized genetic distance from Ethiopia’s cultural and historically dominant Amhara people.
In a four population ancestry analysis model, Ethiopians have significant Arabian ancestry, but little Iranian or Bantu ancestry.
