Were they originally an African people who morphed as the environment they later found themselves dictated for survival?

Well, basically, ALL of us are Africans who developed different physical appearances as a result of our ancestors leaving Africa at some point and migrating to other regions of the earth. But no one has "evolved" (yet) beyond the humans that originally left Africa around 50,000 years ago. They adapted different physical attributes, but this is not "evolving."

No, Jews are from Israel and most Israelis are 80% Jewish; Muslims 15%; Christians 2% and others 3%.
For many years particularly in the 1950's and 1960's, there were tensions between Ashkenazi Jews, who trace their families to Germany and Eastern Europe; the Sephardi Jews, who came from Spain, Portugal, and the Arab countries in the Middle East and North Africa; and Jews who had arrived from Yemen. That culture clash is lessening now because members of these groups often marry each other, so the groups are not as separate as they used to be. In the 1990's a wave of about 700,000 people moved to Israel from the Soviet Union, bringing a large influence into the country. Around the same time, most of the Jews from Ethiopia, almost 22,000 people came to Israel.

Judaism is a religion. We are not evolved Ethiopians, although there are many Ethiopian Jews. There are also Russian, Turkish, Polish, Lithuanian, Moroccan, etc. Jews. As far as i know I have no Ethiopian blood in me, yet I am most definitely a Jew. A Jew with Russian, Polish, German, Romanian, and English connections, but none to Africa. I know Ethiopians Jews, but that seems irrelevant to this question.

No, but the Queen of Sheba came from present day Yemen to visit King Solomon. They had a son who supposedly is the forefather to the Ethiopian royal family.

Nope.
Jews = Jewish = Someone who practices Judaism.
