INTRODUCTION

Ethiopia is one of the world’s most ancient independent nations and one of the earliest places ever inhabited by humans. Its ancient cities and monuments are well-preserved relics of a 3,000-year-old culture, while famous archeological sites continue to reveal traces of the beginnings of human existence. Unique among African countries, Ethiopia maintained its freedom from colonial rule. In 1974 in Ethiopia, Donald Johansson made an important discovery. He and his team of anthropologists and archaeologists found the bones of an ancient female ancestor of the human race. Johansson named her "Lucy." She was found in the northeast quadrant of Ethiopia in the Awash River valley, at a site called Hadar. Lucy was dated at about 3.2 million years old and was a member of a prehuman genus called Australopithecus. Her actual bones are locked in a large vault in the National Museum in Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia. Many other bones of the same age were later found and are believed to be those of Lucy's family. It is becoming clear that humans all emerged from a common ancestral family; all share the same original African homeland in Ethiopia.

For thousands of years, early peoples hunted and gathered food in the rich valleys and highlands of what we now know as Ethiopia. The name is from ancient Greek words meaning "the land of people with burnt faces." It was an area of constant population movement. Peoples from Saudi Arabia crossed the narrow straits of Bab-el-Mandeb at the southern end of the Red Sea. They brought their culture and technology with them and settled in the northern part of Ethiopia. Negroid (black) peoples of sub-Saharan Africa (south of the Sahara Desert) moved up into the higher, cooler reaches of Ethiopia and mixed with and married among the Caucasoid (white) inhabitants already there. Peoples of the Sudan (to the west) and peoples of the desert (to the east) were also migrating. Many found Ethiopia comfortable, and they too settled among and mixed with the peoples from other lands. A major factor in this movement and settlement was trade. Traders bought and sold foods and spices, salt bars (used as money), gold and precious stones, domestic animals, wild animal skins—and slaves. Goods found in one area were wanted in other areas. This promoted the migration of traders and their families and the growth of market towns. This activity has gone on for 2,000 years and continues today.
