Sorry, no Jews in pre-columbian America..

Post by _Quasimodo »

I may be breaking a board rule here, but at the suggestion of a friend, I posted another copy up here where the "nicer people" reside. I'm sure I will be notified if I've done something wrong. :smile:

Nice little article from The Wall Street Journal.

Three groups of Siberians. No groups of Levantines. What does it all mean?
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

What does it mean? Well, it probably means that genetists like Keith Crandall, someone that actually knows something about this, wouldn't misuse a study like that to make any statement about other potential genetic sources of ancient immigration to the Americas. It shows there was multiple Asian genetic contributions to the population in America. That's all it does.

Good point. There is no documentation, in this study, to suggest that the first Jew to arrive on the American continent was actually named Irving.
