Semites Are a Dark Complexioned, Curly Hair, Thick Lipped Race

Historical References1900s, 1915, Dark Complexion, University of Chicago

Source: The Biblical World (University of Chicago) 1915 A.D. The Biblical World was published in 1915 A.D. Page 210 of this book tells us about the blackness and black features of Shemites. Interestingly, this book put the Ethiopians into the Semitic family (we know Ethiopians are Hamites because the Bible tells us this) which once again shows the Israelites have a physical and linguistical affinity with Ethiopian peoples. Page 210, "This race is characterized by a dark complexion, thick, black, curly hair, a hooked nose, rather thickened at the base, and thick lips."

Historical References1400s, 1492, 1500s, 1526, 1700s, 1900s, 1996, 700s, Berber, Inquisition, Islam, Leo Africanus, Mali, Morocco, Muslim, Sahara, Shavei Israel, Songhai Empire, Timbuktu

Source: Shavei.org (Shavei Israel) There are approximately 1,000 people with alleged Jewish roots in Timbuktu, Mali. They arrived in the 14th century fleeing persecution in Spain, and migrated south to the Timbuktu area, at that time part of the Songhai Empire. Among them was the Kehath (Ka’ti) family, descended from Ismael Jan Kot Al-yahudi of Scheida, Morocco. Sons of this prominent family founded three villages that still exist near Timbuktu—Kirshamba, Haybomo, and Kongougara. In 1492, Askia Muhammed came to power in the previously tolerant region of Timbuktu and decreed that Jews must convert to Islam or leave; Judaism became illegal…

The Origins of The Lemba “Black Jews” of Southern Africa: Evidence From P12F2 and Other Y-Chromosome Markers.

DNA Studies1900s, Africa, DNA, Lemba, South Africa, Zimbabwe

Source: National Center for Biotechnology Information The Lemba are a southern African Bantu-speaking population claiming Jewish ancestry. Allele frequencies at four different Y-specific polymorphic loci, as well as extended-haplotype frequencies that included data from several loci, were analyzed in an attempt to establish the genetic affinities and origins of the Lemba. The results suggest that > or = 50% of the Lemba Y chromosomes are Semitic in origin, approximately 40% are Negroid, and the ancestry of the remainder cannot be resolved. These Y-specific genetic findings are consistent with Lemba oral tradition, and analysis of the history of Jewish people and…

Historical References1900s, Cambridge University, Transatlantic Slave Trade, West Africa

Source: Blacks Jews : The Religious Challenge or Politics Versus Religion (Cambridge University) 1987 - Page 235-236 "The study of customs and rites and the analysis of the semantics of these African tribes have led many of their observers to propose some hypotheses and even to draw some conclusions.

DNA Backs A Tribe’s Tradition Of Early Descent From the Jews

DNA Studies1900s, DNA, Lemba, South Africa, Zimbabwe

Source: New York Times The Lemba, a Bantu-speaking people of southern Africa, have a tradition that they were led out of Judea by a man named Buba. They practice circumcision, keep one day a week holy and avoid eating pork or piglike animals, such as the hippopotamus. Several groups around the world practice Judaic rites or claim to be descended from biblical tribes without having any ancestral Jewish connection. And there is no Buba in the records of Jewish history. But the remarkable thing about the Lemba tradition is that it may be exactly right. A team of geneticists has…
