I realized that the comments i put in make it sound as though there is a complete segregation of those who have Hebron ancestry, from those people in sub-saharan Africa. That is not the case. nor am I trying to say there is no inherent value to the beliefs in historic Sub-saharan Africa. There is nothing farther from the truth. I am just saying they are not the "original Jews" or even the original "Israelis." By their own admission and belief, they appear and are divorced from the Jewish ancestry before the end of the reign of Solomon, for they only go back to 8-10 BC. Ther efore, they most likely represent the coveting of wives from Kush (Ethiopia).

here is a VERY informative demographic of religion and belief in sub-saharan Africa.

and HERE is the account of the subsaharan Beni-israel... who did NOT consider themself Jews, but did share Hebron lineage.

Most were indoctrinated into modern Israel to escape famine, upon approval of their immigration by the Israeli govt, for their Hebron genetics gives them case for citizenship in Israel. but most are still not Jews. They do keep certain commonalities, but they have no authority given to the Talmud, not the Mishnah, or any of the distinct qualities of the kingdom of Judah, including the concept of Messiach.

here is a study of African creationism. You may soon find that this is diametrically contrasted to the Briat Ha-Olam (The Jewish creation mythos). http://www.afrikaworld.net/afrel/creation-in-atr.htm

SubSaharan Africa has a great many claims to fame, but Judiasm is not one. The evidence is clear, linguisticly and geographically. Here's some great information toward finding a REAL reason for pride in subsaharan African ancestry: http://www.mrdowling.com/609ancafr.html
