THE ANCIENT WORLD AND THE HISTORY OF THE HAMO-SEMITIC (aka AFROASIATIC) SPEAKERS/PEOPLE:
A small, Pygmy-like people who’d become the Babylonian Scythes settling Ur before 3500 BC (see: http://www.beforebc.de/Made.by.Humankind/Gods.MotherGoddeses/02-16-500-20.html ) were ultimately pushed out of Mesopotamia by the prehistoric Hamitic speakers from North Africa who in asia were designated Asiatic and whose language evolved to Semitic: hence Afroasiatic or Hamo-Semitic in secular terms.
Dear Jide
Here is my story. My mom grew up in Ireland and all of my relitives are from there on both sides. A couple of weeks ago I thought I would test my DNA, because I can go back as far as 1820, but before that, not much. When the results, came back, I expected Northern European or Celtic maybe. I had them check it twice, in case of an error, but there was no mistake.
