Turns out the four women who started the Ashkenazi Jewish mitochondrial DNA, lived in Europe 15,000 years ago.
And 30% to 60% of Ashkenazi Jewish DNA is European, and the rest is Mediteranean.
So much for the silly idea that Ashkenazi Jews are 100% or even 80% Levantine.
I mean honestly, just look at hundreds of Askenazi Jews and they look more Euopean than Mediteranean.
Do we have Levantine genetics? Of course, no doubt. The studies prove it.
But we also have a good amount of European genes. We are a partially European people.
