Researchers say DNA²² extracted from the remains²³ of a man buried 4500 years ago in Ethiopia has provided new evidence of a mass migration²⁴ into Africa. An international team for the first time sequenced the complete genome of anancient African. They say that a comparison of his genetic²⁵ material with that of modern Africans supports the theory of huge migration from Middle East into Africa about 3000 years ago. Professor Adrea Manic of Cambridge University led the research.

“In Ethiopia, up 20%, so 1/5 of the genome of people who live there right now is actually of Eurasian origin who come from these farmers. But it goes further than that because if you go even to the very corners of Africa,the older way to West Africa or Southern Africa, even populations that we really saw were purely²⁶ African, have 5 or 6% of their genome that dates back to this west Eurasian farmers.”

研究人员表示，从4500年前在埃塞俄比亚埋葬的一名男子的遗骸中提取的DNA提供了新的证据表明曾有大量移民迁往非洲。一个国际研究小组首次描绘出了古代非洲人完整的基因序列图谱。他们表示，古代非洲人的遗传物质与现代非洲人进行的对比表明，大约3000年前，曾有大量移民从中东迁往非洲。这项研究由剑桥大学教授Adrea Manic领导。

“在埃塞俄比亚，现在居住在该地区的人口大约20%的基因图谱起源于欧亚大陆。但是事实远不止这样。如果你更进一步，深入非洲的各个角落，前往西非或南非的古老的道路，甚至我们看到的纯种的非洲人，他们的基因图谱中都有5%或6%来自西方的欧亚大陆。”
