Re: genes and skin color. I recently read that genetic testing of Sephardic Cohanim (Middle Eastern Jews with surnames related to Cohan) and Ashkenazi Cohanim (Cohans of European extraction) shows that they are almost identical, genetically. Big surprise for those who believe that Ashkenazi Jews are converts, unrelated to Sephardic Jews.

Also -- the Ethiopian blacks who claim to be descended from tribes who left Israel -- it's true.

Also -- genetically all of the above are closely related to Arabs from the vicinity of Israel.

But you wouldn't guess it to look at them based on skin color, eye color, hair color, hair texture, and all the other visual clues we use to guess "race."
