Long-standing controversy settled – DNA shows Ashkenazim female line descended from southern and western Europe, NOT the Near East

I read: "Many of the maternal ancestors of modern Ashkenazi Jews*were European converts, according to a*research*project headed by a University of Huddersfield professor.*The young science of*archaeogenetics*has been used to settle a long-standing controversy – the origin of Europe’s Ashkenazi Jews. *Are they principally descended from forbears who migrated from Palestine in the first century AD? *Or were their ancestors Europeans who converted to Judaism?"

And a new article in the leading journal*Nature Communications**claims to have settled the question. The conclusion:*Analysis of DNA samples has shown that on the female line, the Ashkenazim are descended not from the Near East but from southern and western Europe.*

Professor Martin Richards *heads the*Archaeogenetics Research Group based at the University of Huddersfield and he is a co-author of the*new article, entitled “ A substantial prehistoric European ancestry amongst Ashkenazi maternal lineages”.*

How enlightening, the Palestinians are probably more ethnically Jewish than all of the Ashkenazi Jews who settled in Palestine from Europe.

Although, obviously they are not religiously Jewish.

Frau Sherria is purportedly a Christian who should know the women are descended from the Palestinian,
Eve. What's the confusion all about?

Mrs. Sherri should have her own DNA tested., For all she knows she might have some Jewish blood. After all, there were Jewish peddlers plying their trade across the South, and perhaps one of Mrs. Sherri's female ancestors hungered for some male attention.
Actually, we are all descended from one man and one woman in Africa who didn't even live at the same time. I am still trying to figure that one out.
 
Four women, or founder lineages, that were from a Hebrew/Levantine mtDNA pool.
Romans forced jews out with the fall of the temple and many ended up in and around Italy.
jews and followers of the jew jesus had numerous converts. Italy, greece and turkey make up the variance
