Freedman's Debunked "Theory" - Check description. by Wolf Messing published on 2021-04-13T21:25:21Z https://scopeblog.stanford.edu/2013/12/20/new-genetic-study-more-evidence-for-modern-ashkenazi-jews-ancient-hebrew-patrimony/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khazar_hypothesis_of_Ashkenazi_ancestry Oops ๐ โPlausible 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.โ โIf Ashkenazis were the spawn of Khazar royals, their DNA would show it. But those Y chromosomes were as Levantine as a levant sandwich. The same genetic "signature" popped up on every Levite sampled (as well as a significant number of non-Levite Ashkenazis), strongly implying descent from a single common ancestor who lived in the Fertile Crescent between 1,500 and 2,500 years ago. That signature is absent in the Y chromosomes of modern European non-Jewish men, and in male inhabitants of what was once Khazaria.โ https://scopeblog.stanford.edu/2013/12/20/new-genetic-study-more-evidence-for-modern-ashkenazi-jews-ancient-hebrew-patrimony/ "European Jews are the Jewish diaspora. They are people that originally fled the land of Israel from Roman persecution in the 1st century." https://twitter.com/CherylWroteIt/status/1736703520907133192 Comment by George (StyroHome) What about the Yodelers...
