What is the relationship between ancient ancient Saudi Arabs and Ethiopians?

[aden1812]

I heard the original people of Saudi Arabia were Ethiopian, and that is why Arabic and Hebrew are Semitic languages just like northern Ethiopia. Is this correct? And where do Somalis fall in all this?

I think Ethio-Semitic people are the byproduct of a mixture of Southern Arabians and Cushites. I don't think they have a strong connection with modern Arabs, as they themselves are the mixture of multiple tribes and connected culturally than genetically.

Somalis don't have anything to do with either as we're very tribal and practiced endogamy for centuries if not millennia. We're pretty much the example of an ethnic Cushitic group. The Arab cultural influences are a product of Somalis converting to Islam.

That's about it man.

Which language is older, Cushite or semetic?

(Emphasis on Ethiopians being of mixed tribes),it is usually forgotten Ethiopians have high Omotic (bantu)admixture,you can notice they have the shortness of Southern arabians,along with the hooked noses and the hair texture is inherited from their omotic ancestors and their facial features Cushitic and Arab.

Hair texture and eyes make it very Easy to tell who is Habesha and who is not,cushitics in Ethiopia are so hard to diffrentiate its enraging.

Omotic isn't Bantu, but native to the horn for millenniums, Somalia have a smaller percentage of Omotic ancestry then Habesha/Oromos but even Natufians whom we share 40% of our autosomal DNA had something like 5% Omotic ( MOTA ), that 40% splits off into 25% levant and 15% north African(Iberomaurusian) whom themselves are a mix of proto Natufians, and Omotic like ancestry.

Even if you get Bantu ancestry on most of these sites, it's due to Bantu expansion into Kenya/Tanzania, pushing Cushites and Nilotics to live in what is Modern day Kanya and Tanzania, east and north.
