How did ethiopians contribute to civilization?
Today the term Ethiopian refers to the inhabitants of the country called Ethiopia, which in ancient times was referred to as Abbysinnia or Kush. It is derived from the Greek term AETHIOP, which means burnt or dark face or skin. Today it's used as a proper noun, but in ancient times it was used as an adjective to describe the phenotype of a certain people. The ancient Greeks used it to describe Black people that inhabited all of Africa, southern Asia, especially India, and the entire Indian Ocean basin. Even today, where ever the Indian Ocean touches land, you'll find the inhabitants to be dark very skinned. Since the first humans were Black Africans/AEthiops/Ethiopians, they were the first to discover or create the elements of civilization, like the use of iron , science, mathmatics, art, literature, architecture, wrtiing, agriculture, domesticating animals etc. All of the elements of civilization, its roots, stim and leaves, originated in inner Africa. And those elements flowed up the mighty Nile river and produced the fruit, which we now call Egypt. It was Egypt that dispersed that fruit, both directly and indirectly, throughout the known world. That's why you'll find Ethiopia and Egypt mentioned in the bible more than any other countries. And you'll find Ethiopia mentioned in the ancient literature of Asian kingdoms like Japan, India and China. The Indian culture was established by Ethiopians, so was the Japanese culture, and the first two Chinese dynasty's, the Xia and Shang, Ethiopian/AEthiop/Black. THE ETHIOPIANS DIDN'T JUST CONTRIBUTE TO CIVILATION, THEY CREATED ITS ELEMENTS AND PASSED IT ON TO THE REST OF THE WORLD.

A study by Professors Lucotte and Smets has shown that the genetic father of Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jews) was close to the Ethiopian non-Jewish populations. This is consistent with the theory that Beta Israel are descendants of ancient inhabitants of Ethiopia, not the Middle East.
Hammer et al. in 2000, and the team of Shen in 2004, arrive at similar conclusions, namely that the DNA of the Ethiopian Jews probably indicates a conversion of local populations.
A 2012 study showed that while primarily related to the local populations, Ethiopian Jews have very distant genetic links to other Jews, and are likely descended from a few Jewish founders. It has been concluded that the community began when a few itinerant Jews who settled in Ethiopia in ancient times, converted locals to Judaism, and married into the local populations. It has been estimated that this happened some 2,000 years ago.

Ethiopia faces many historical, cultural, social and political obstacles that have restricted progress in Education for many centuries. According to UNESCO reviews, most people in Ethiopia feel that work is more important than education, so they start at a very early age with little to no education.[7]Children in rural areas are less likely to go to school than children in urban areas. Though gradually improving, most rural families cannot afford to send their children to school because parents believe that while their children are in school they cannot contribute to the household chores and income. Social awareness that education is important is something that Ethiopia lacks but has improved gradually. There is a need to change the importance of education in the country's social structure, and children should be encouraged and required to attend school and become educated. Corporal punishment is also an issue that has affected progress for centuries. The society of Ethiopia expects teachers and parents to use corporal punishment to maintain order and discipline. Most believe that through punishing children for bad habits they in turn learn good ones. Also since the mid-1970s there have been a drastic loss of professionals who leave the country, mostly for economical reasons. Many educated Ethiopians seek higher salaries in foreign countries thus many of those who manage to finish higher education immigrate creating endless shortage of qualified personals and professionals in every sector of the country. As of 2006, there are more Ethiopia-trained doctors living in Chicago than in the entire country.
