Population[edit]

Can we get a source for their number? I checked the links on this article and nowhere did it say that they had a population of 4000. That figure seems very high to me. I am not saying its not possible, just it needs a source. A major cleanup for this article is sorely needed, without question. Olockers 12:55, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Truth[edit]

I saw a documentary a couple of years ago that used DNA to test the truth behind the statement that the Lemba's were decendants of Israel (therefore cousins to the Jews) and DNA proved that the Lemba's do indeed have unique characteristics of DNA, that are only found in Jews. Furthermore, the 'Priests' of the Lemba show the same signature paterns as the Kohen's.

perhaps, scientifically it only proves that the Jews are descendants of an African tribe???? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.14.172.33 (talk) 08:30, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I hope that this helps.

Classically, Jewish identity is not "proven" by DNA tests, see Who is a Jew? for more information. IZAK (talk) 22:14, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
