Study indicates Greeks and Oromos are genetically related
Online Journal on Macedonian History and Culture, July 2007
A 2001 study conducted by researchers at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, one of the oldest universities in the world and the top public university in Spain, shows that Oromos are closely related to three groups of Greeks, namely the Attica, Cyprus & Aegean, genetically. The genetic research was done on samples taken from 83, 98, 85, 96 & 101 Oromo, Amhara, Aegean Greek, Attica Greek & Cyprus Greek individuals, respectively.
The study indicates that Greeks are genetically more related to Oromos than any other Horn of African groups considered for the study. It also shows that the Oromo and Amhara groups are genetically very well related to each other. Furthermore, the time period when the relationships between Greeks and sub-Saharans might have occurred was ancient, but uncertain, and might have related to the displacement of Egyptian-Ethiopian people living in pharaonic Egypt.
