I'm completely disoriented by the comments left on yahoo answers, regarding Ethiopian race/ ethnicity. The most frequent answers include Middle Eastern (Arab), Semitic, and others agree they are ultimately *******. According to anthropological studies, the Hominid species Australopithicus afarensis (Lucy) was found in Hadar, Ethiopia. "She", by far, outdates the "ice man" of the Italian Alps, and is known to have been an early ancestor of Homo sapiens (humans), more closely related to blacks. Well, if modern Ethiopians aren't black, what happened to these hominids??? And what race, in particular, do they belong to? Please inlcude intelligible answers.

I think Lucy was on earth before so many million years ago. So thats when Ethiopians were pure black. But this mixing with the caucasoid people occured more recently starting from 2000 years ago.

Well race isn't anything supported by biology. All Homo sapiens are 99 percent identical, at least genetically. So how you group a culture into a race actually depends on how you define race. Culture, or physically, etc. So therefore Ethopians can be defined as any of then things listed. Lucy isn't a Homo sapiens so she is as just related to Ethiopians as she is to all other modern humans.

"no person communities at the same time Caucasians....." Huh?! this is too humorous! And incorrect! i won't be able to have faith the numerous ignorant comments bearing directly to this topic. :( at the beginning, MANY non-Caucasians DO team at the same time ecu-individuals,ecu-Canadians,Ca... Europeans,etc. And, what i don't get excitement from besides are the racist,adverse and insulting words like "cracker" or here is yet another stupid one.."white boy"..etc. you could **** your "white boy" derogatory remark and each and all of the others besides! :( 2nd, i understand from having lived in Asia for somewhat awhile that MANY Asians team Caucasian human beings at the same time. this is in basic terms a actuality!

They are mostly black (*******). A long time ago there was a little mixing with Arab and Italian but they occupied the country for a short time. The Italians briefly occupied Ethiopia 1935 and left in 1941. The Arabs were also there for a short time. But it was a longer time ago.
