Speaking of Africa, you may find this interesting.

The Lemba -- The Black Jews of Southern Africa

Tudor Parfitt, the protagonist of the NOVA documentary "Lost Tribes of Israel," made a journey through southern Africa to study the unusual traditions of a black African tribe called the Lemba. This Bantu-speaking group claimed Jewish ancestry and observed many Semitic traditions such as kosher-like dietary restrictions and slaughter practices, male circumcision rites, strict rules against intermarriage, and Semitic-sounding clan names.
-----------------------------

What this study shows is that the Lemba, and more specifically some members of the Buba sub-clan, seem to have an ancestral connection to Judaic populations. Like an oral history, but written in the letters of their DNA, the Lemba Y chromosome hands from father to son a living record of the past.

Slightly interesting, but not so much to me. I was more alluding to human ancestry beginning in Africa and then being distributed to the rest of the world via migration. I couldn't care less about the religion of one tribe that either went the wrong way during the exodus out of Egypt or brought back stories/chromosome from a visit to Israel.

White history month?

Does it take three years to get results back on DNA tests?

Wonder where these people came from?

Did you know the Huns would smoke massive amounts of crack cocaine before pillaging a town?

They never actually rode horseback... they just ran really fast.

Methinks you should lay off the transcendental medications yourself!

Did you know the Huns originated in Manchuria?

Have you ever heard of the Mandan tribe encountered by Lewis and Clark, most likely they were Celtic.

Actually, there's no solid evidence to support exactly where they came from. East-Central Russia, Mongolia, and Northwestern China have all been presented as theories.

True, however most evidence points to 'Chunwei' (or
Xunyu), the ... (Shanrong or Mountain Rong, however,
belonged to southern Manchuria,) who knows where they may have come from before that?

If you look at all the evidence, including far eastern writings, these people originally lived in northeast China (Manchuria), no doubt they absorbed many other tribes to have grown so quickly.

Those steppe peoples... they're never from one place.

Pesky horsemen.
