1. A possible genetic link between Ashkenazi Jews. Norwegians and Ethiopians
Forwarded by Mark Williams
Wilson et al. (2001), an autosomal DNA study based on cluster analysis that looked at a combined sample of Amhara and Oromo examining a single enzyme variants: drug metabolizing enzyme (DME) loci, found that 62% of Ethiopeans fall into the same cluster of Ashkenazi Jews, Norwegians and Armenians based on that gene.

The ancient Egyptians whose mummies were studied were closer towards Near Eastern and European samples. 'Our analyses,' wrote the researchers 'reveal that ancient Egyptians shared more ancestry with Near Easterners than present-day Egyptians.' And they added: 'We find that ancient Egyptians are most closely related to Neolithic [started 1000 BC by the invention of agriculture and fixed human settlements] and Bronze Age [in the Near East, this historical age that knew bronze and writing extended from 3300 to1200 BC] samples in the Levant, as well as to Neolithic Anatolian and European populations. When comparing this pattern with modern Egyptians, we find that the ancient Egyptians are more closely related to all modern and ancient European populations that we tested, likely due to the additional African component in the modern population.

The Fugates, a family that lived in the hills of Kentucky, commonly known as the "Blue Fugates"[1] or the "Blue People of Kentucky", are notable for having been carriers of a genetic trait that led to the blood disorder methemoglobinemia, which causes the appearance of blue-tinged skin.
