The Lemba are also a tribe of people in sub-Saharan Africa. It was proven by genetics that they are, as they claim, descendants of the original Jewish people. Specifically it was proved that amongst them were people whose genetic "fingerprint" matched that of Kohanim, a genetically distinct subsection of Jews who have been traced far into ancient history.
