I would hazard a guess that Yemeni Jews are just a subset of Yemeni non Jews with exactly the same haplogroups.<br /><br />Yemeni Jews are just converts to Judaism just as the Khazar elite was, except the Yemeni Jews have survived to the present day.<br /><br />A very crappy and biased study as most that center on haplogroups, and full of many unproven assumptions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-23580935336500871662010-07-15T18:51:11.778+03:002010-07-15T18:51:11.778+03:00does this lack of shared genetic evidence also mea...<i>does this lack of shared genetic evidence also mean that there's wasn't widespread Jewish conversion to Islam in the last 1000 years?</i><br /><br />Any Jewish conversions to Islam would make a smaller impact on Islamic populations, as Jews did not form a population majority anywhere in the world at the time when Islam emerged.<br /><br />The problem is made even more difficult by the fact that Jews are expected to share common ancestry with Near Eastern Semitic populations, i.e., some of the exact same populations that became Muslim. So, it's not clear if a Jewish-Muslim genetic relationship reflects shared ancestry or intermixture, and I'm not too optimistic that they study of modern populations can distinguish between the two.Dienekeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02082684850093948970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-86585923847010508512010-07-15T12:08:48.217+03:002010-07-15T12:08:48.217+03:00interesting paper for what it says about a lack of...interesting paper for what it says about a lack of evidence for Yemeni conversion to Judaism within the Himyarite kingdom, does this lack of shared genetic evidence also mean that there's wasn't widespread Jewish conversion to Islam in the last 1000 years?<br /><br />Also how does this mesh with the previous studies regarding the the clustering of Yemenite Jews separately from Ashkenaz/Levantine and Oriental Jews. This seems to say that there is evidence of shared Jewish ancestry in the Y chromosome but not in the MtDNA, but the previous studies showed a lack of shared autosomal Jewish ancestry?<br /><br />cheers<br /><br />bhbinhaddouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05272401995676642702noreply@blogger.com
