The attempts of scholars and scientists to unravel the mystery of the ancestral origins of the Lemba are summarised, focusing on Tudor Parfitt's book, Journey to the Vanished City , and a study by an international group of genetic and social scientists. The impact of this research on identity questions is raised.
