New genetic study: More evidence for modern Ashkenazi Jews’ ancient Hebrew patrimony
Hello:
excon
Here's
an article from Stanford Medicine.. They know something about science.
A writer named Arthur Koestler advances a theory that today's
Ashkenazis descend, not from the Holy Land but, rather, from Khazaria, a
medieval Turkic empire in the Causasus region whose royals, caught
between the rock of Islam and the hard place of Christendom, chose the
politically expedient course of converting to Judaism.
That
hypothesis has become highly politicized, with some groups holding that
Ashkenazis, who constitute half of Israel's current population, are
colonialist interlopers with zero historical claim to the land of
Israel.
Plausible
at the time, the Khazar-origin premise has crumbled under the onslaught
of modern molecular genetics. The latest volley: a study published this week in Nature Communications. The study's senior author, Stanford geneticist Peter Underhill, PhD, works in the lab of Carlos Bustamante, PhD, whose high-resolution techniques have highlighted the historical hopscotch of other migratory peoples.

More evidence for modern Ashkenazi Jews’ ancient Hebrew patrimony Hello excon, Jew: From the ABSTRACT of the study mentioned above.. It's science.. https://www.nature.com/articles/ In contrast to the previously suggested Eastern European origin for Ashkenazi Levites, the current data are indicative of a geographic source of the Levite founder lineage in the Near East and its likely presence among pre-Diaspora Hebrews. Whaddya know about that?? excon, Jewish Prince Side: I TRUST Stanford Medicine
