- Answer:
Just as today, Israelites came in differing skin-tones, heights, and body-types. Our tradition is that the twelve sons of Jacob (the 12 Tribes) were not completely similar to each other in appearance, though none of them was really dark-skinned (Rashi commentary on Genesis 12:11).
Abraham and Sarah came from southern Iraq and their wider family from northern Iraq. Since DNA tests have shown that Jews intermarried infrequently throughout history, Abraham and the Israelites probably looked like Jews today.
DNA testing of Jewish communities worldwide has shown that they are all interrelated and of Middle Eastern genetics, comparable to the Sephardim today (not African or Egyptian).
In 2000, the analysis of a report by Nicholas Wade "provided genetic witness that Jewish communities have, to a remarkable extent, retained their biological identity separate from their host populations, evidence of relatively little intermarriage or conversion into Judaism over the centuries. The results accord with Jewish history and tradition."
The only exception to this is the Ethiopian Black Jews, who show only a trace of DNA connection to other Jewish communities. Western ethnologists today hold the view that the Jews of Gondar (Ethiopia) either emerged from a Judaizing strain among Ethiopian Christians, or were converted by Yemeni Jews who crossed the Red Sea. 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.
It has been estimated that this happened some 2,000 years ago.
And in America:
The beliefs and practices of Black Hebrew groups vary considerably. The differences are so great that historian James Tinney has suggested the classification of the organizations into three quite distinct groups.
Some of these groups are actually Christians, or part-Christians in their beliefs and practices. They have titles such as Church of the Living God, the Church of God and Saints of Christ, and the Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ. Others profess beliefs closer to Judaism, such as the Commandment Keepers.
As Judaism sees it, the issue with their claims is that they can produce no generally-accepted evidence of actual Semitic ancestry. These groups created themselves spontaneously within recent history, from within the wider African-American population.
Any African-Americans who choose to become actual Jews through proper conversion are accepted into Judaism.

Did native American Indians steal babies from other tribes?

How did the Lost Tribes of Israel earn their name?
Where the kingdom of Israel was destroyed by foreign invaders and its people scattered, the identities of the legendary Twelve Tribes were seriously compromised and it became customary to speak of these as "lost." In recent years, some folks in places rather remote from Israel have been noticed as practicing Hebraic customs, some of these people even identify themselves as one or more of the "lost tribes." However, cultural diffusion is a tricky thing, as ideas can be passed on without exchange of the actual people. New sciences such a genetic profiling may someday give us a more definitive answer on who belongs to the "lost" tribes.
How do you find out which tribe of Israel you belong to?
Determining one's tribal ancestry in the tribes of Israel can be challenging due to the historical complexities and lack of comprehensive records. Some Jewish families have oral traditions of their tribal lineage, but these can be difficult to substantiate. DNA testing might provide some clues, but it is not able to definitively identify tribal lineage.
Are the Fulani one of the ten lost tribes of Israel?
A:No. The Fula people or Fulani are a dark-skinned ethnic group from West Africa, far away from ancient Israel. The so-called ten lost tribes are supposedly remnants of the Israelites who were deported from Israel after its destruction in 722 BCE. The true fate of the Israelites, a lighter=skinned Semitic people, was to become absorbed by the native populations of the regions they were deported to, such as Syria, Iraq and Jordan.
