Review: Geneticist Harry Ostrer’s ‘Legacy’ Finds a Biological Basis for JewishnessSo in other words you are promoting yet another myth, as there is no evidence whatsoever of Europeans converting to Judaism. you might think you're smart but to most of the board you are a trolling bigot and a fool.You posted this "new study asserts" before, moron. There is no historical evidence of this conversion. Why, when, and how did Europeans convert to Judaism? Put up or shut up. You have nothing but repetitive propaganda and conspiracy theories. You are posting the same shit in ten different threads spamming the forum, which is a violation of the rules. You just can't control yourself, can you? No matter how many times you get spanked you come back with the same shit, until you get spanked again.
Just DNA evidence. Not that it matters when you believe the propaganda. You are always the loser Ruddy, I am just much smarter than you, and I am not a Jew, I am smart Christian, can you believe that? You always get "spanked" as you say. You just don't know it dummy.
Is DNA evidence a myth? To you maybe. Presenting fact is not trolling. Your parroting of propaganda is trolling. Oh, quit stalking me or I'll report you.
It seems that Harry Oster, whose older study you linked to, has had a change of heart. From the newer study I previously linked:
"The majority of Ashkenazi Jews are descended from prehistoric European women.....
"Richards and colleagues’ story “seems reasonable,” said Harry Ostrer, a human geneticist at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University in New York City who was not involved in the study. "

At best you have a maternal only study that other scientists disagree with. This is from your own article, as usual, you have zero intellectual honesty. Everything with you is driven by hate.
"But some scientists question these conclusions. “While it is clear that Ashkenazi maternal ancestry includes both Levantine [Near Eastern] and European origins—the assignment of several of the major Ashkenazi lineages to pre-historic European origin in the current study is incorrect in our view,” physician-geneticists Doron Behar and Karl Skorecki of the Rambam Healthcare Campus in Israel, whose previous work indicated a Near Eastern origins to many Ashkenazi mitochondrial types, wrote in an e-mail to The Scientist. They argue that the mitochondrial DNA data used in the new study did not represent the full spectrum of mitochondrial diversity.
David Goldstein, a geneticist and director of the Center for Human Genome Variation at the Duke University School of Medicine, said that the questions of whether there was a Khazar contribution to the Ashkenazi Jews’ lineage, or exactly what percentage of mitochondrial variants emanate from Europe, cannot be answered with certainty using present genetic and geographical data. Even if a set of variants are present in a specific region today, that doesn’t mean that the region always had that set of variants. Some variants could have been lost due to drift, or perhaps migration altered the balance of variants present in the population.
“These analyses really do not have any formal statistical inference about evolutionary history in them,” Goldstein wrote in an e-mail to The Scientist. “They are based on direct interpretations of where one finds different [mitochondrial DNA] types today. And so the analyses are largely impressionistic.”
