Me, or Helen? See, for example, Jewish and Middle Eastern non-Jewish populations share a common pool of Y-chromosome biallelic haplotypes or

("Solid triangles represent Jewish populations, solid squares represent Middle Eastern populations, and open circles represent all other populations.")

Note that all this is about DNA, not mtDNA which is a completely different story.

Somewhere among the Muslims by now, no doubt....(Actually the paper didn't have any in the sample)

Maybe it's the solid square tagged "Sar" (for Sarkozians)...

It was a response to Helen. Not that I doubt the possibility (even the likelihood) of what she says.

Thanks for the references.

As I didn't assert the connection, but instead prefaced it with an "I always thought..." which is much less strong, I made an assumption that I had sneaked under the ET citation requirement for dubious and near-bogus statements.

I have always presumed the wild surmise that if you saw some ethnic group who, when they got suntans, ended up looking like another ethnic group who now inhabited the area the first lot left 2000 years ago, there might be a familial connection somewhere along the line.

Actually, if you read the article gk links to, the research seems to indicate a common Middle-Eastern ancestry for Jewish groups and Middle-Eastern non-Jewish groups. Which of course doesn't say anything about cultural events such as possible conversions to other religions of Jews possibly remaining in Palestine.
