Love this! She really broke down the difference between the stereotype vs the reality of _autochthonous_ African women on the African continent. People don't realize just how diverse women of African descent are _within_ the African continent itself. African women were the first _modern_ human beings and have had _over_ 200,000 years to be genetically and biologically diverse. Some autochthonous Africans also have blue eyes and blond hair b/c "blondism" is really just a form of _albinism._ Other human populations have been here for less than 60,000 years of human history and they came from A FEW SMALL GROUPS that only comprised a few hundred people - _total_ - that left Africa and went on to populate the rest of the globe. Cultural continuity _and_ diversity exists within the African continent _at the same time._ There is more genetic diversity in the women of Africa than anywhere else and that's why every single genotype and phenotype found in _other_ human populations is found _in the WOMEN of AFRICA._ The history of humanity itself is largely the history of the women of Africa.

Sally G "They don't realize when they belittle us, they are belittling themselves" They're insecure liars who've been fabricating "facts" about the ancient peoples and civilizations of humanity for so long that some of them even have the audacity to believe their own lies. It's bad enough to lie, but it's worse to _actually_ believe your own stupid lies. It's pathetic.

So true. Some are so close-minded they can't see beyond what is in front of them and see the big picture and its implication. Just to share, the other day I was having an argument with this person on youtube (s/he removed his/her comments or something - it's not there anymore) and this person had the audacity to say "no one likes black women" because they are not considered beautiful.

I LOVE THIS! and thank you so much for pointing out how people only think of poverty when they hear ethiopia, when there's SO MUCH MORE. And thank you for also talking about how ethiopian women are always referred to as "light-skinned" with "striaght hair" and "straight noses" -- like the most caucasian african country, as if we're not really african. Well in reality, we are the FIRST africans, and you cannot get any more african than us! And not all ethiopians fit that stereotype -- my hair sure doesn't look like the stereotypical straight ethiopian hair! THANK YOU AGAIN OMGG

Wow, she probably did the most interesting presentation of the research behind a video so far! Quality video, props to Karen!

Ok, time to point out some historical inaccuracies - the battle of Adwa was not a fight for independence. To fight for independence , first that country has to be colonized or be under the yoke of oppression of foreign power. In the battle of Adwa, the Ethiopian Empire defeated and repelled an aggressor european country, that has no business being there. Also that picture of Empress Tayitu is from 1870's or 1880's not 1910's. Also @1:10 minutes there was a mentioning of Empress Menen as being wife of Emperor Menielik. That would be incorrect, she was wife of Emperor Haileselassie. It was Taitu that was Emperor Menielik's wife. The third woman on the Motor cycle was just a propaganda picture taken by a visitor from Europe. Also, for your 1980's look the lady that inspired the style presented was Yeharerwerk Gashaw. She was the first Ethiopian international model. She was a Pan-Africanist and an Activist who did her part to put Ethiopia and Africa in general in good light. She could be googled well.

This was really informative, I loved it, I hope you do more videos about Ethiopia in the future.

So glad to see that the approach is based on the understanding that Africa is incredibly diverse. So many times people refer to Africa as though its one homogeneous country when in fact it's a continent made up of many countries of wide stretching diversities. So many points were touched on here. Very well done!

This was one of my most favorite researches done for this series. Great representation

to add Ethiopia was occupied by Italy for 5 years not colonized they fought and won a battle against Italy one of the most powerful nations the world at that time and paved a way and inspired other countries to their independence

I really need to (re-)watch the other "Research Behind the Looks" video, as they are so informative and the stories behind each look and why they were chosen are interesting :) I really enjoy these videos!

I love seeing the behind the scenes and history of these looks! Such an awesome series

I love the research video follow up more than the 100 heats videos themselves! it's so great to unpack the historical context behind fashion, otherwise, every decade is just vaguely the same internationally. but looking closer, economically, it's all so dependent on social, cultural, economic, religious, political climates.

But you missed greatly the two influential Ethiopian legendary singer's hair styles. Their hair styles still is widely known even among young boys to this days. Magical hair style. These are No1.Artsist Bzunesh Bekele's hair style in 1950s and 60s. and No2.Artsist Kuku Sebsbie's hair style in 1980's.The models that you have mentioned are hardly known.

I love love love the fact that the earlier part of the 20th century wasn't influenced that much by western culture. It really lets the individual style and flair of the country come through so brightly.

I would really love to see 100 Years of Beauty Japan's edition.. I think it'll be interesting transition between period when geisha looking make up (full white make-up and tiny red lip) and the way their hair pile up using some kind of ornate stick to the modern look influenced by western >.
