A subsequent study in 2000 found that a substantial number of Lemba men carry a particular haplotype of the Y-chromosome known as the Cohen modal haplotype (CMH), as well as a haplogroup of Y-DNA Haplogroup J found amongst some Jews, but also in other populations across the Middle East and Arabia.[45][46] The genetic studies have suggested that there is no Semitic female contribution to the Lemba gene pool.[47] This indicates that Israelite men migrated to Africa in ancient times and took wives from among the local people after settling in new communities.

Kafrid predominantly, although they seem to have Israelite ancestry according to DNA testing, but this seems to not have a racial effect on them.

I agree, they look like ordinary sub saharans if you ask me

Well there's no one ordinary subsaharan look. There are different types there.

Negroid, Negroid, Negroid and negroid

















and more negroid

I would like to say what a Lembas 23andme test would look like. Do you think it would resemble Horn Africans?

I don't think so, but I know they have some Middle Eastern ancestry on their paternal side, though I think it's minor.

I think anywhere from 5-20%

One cannot really be Pred Karid its a misnomer; they can be pred-Sudanid with Khoid/Cushitic/Bambutid/Nilotic influence

Well technically true, Kafrids are basically Sudanids with either Palaenegrid, Khoisanid, or Aethiopid influence depending on the region...
