Scientists Compared Jewish DNA To Every Ancient Civilization — Only One Matched

DNA Unlocked

Did scientists really compare Jewish DNA to every ancient civilization and find only one match? No, that study doesn't exist. But the real science behind the claim is stranger and far more interesting.

In this documentary, we follow the genetic evidence from the Y-chromosome studies of the Cohanim to the 2010 genome-wide studies of Jewish populations, from Bronze Age Canaanite skeletons in Sidon to medieval Jewish burials in Erfurt, Germany. Along the way, we look at what DNA can prove, what it can't, and why a single "perfect match" was never how ancient ancestry worked.

Key sources include:
Behar et al. 2010 (Nature), Atzmon et al. 2010 (AJHG), Haber et al. 2017 (AJHG), Agranat-Tamir et al. 2020 (Cell), Carmi et al. 2014 (Nature Communications), Xue et al. 2017 (PLOS Genetics), and Waldman et al. 2022 (Cell). The full source list is in the pinned comment.

What you said was extremely interesting. It just came with the right amount of explanation to make it understandable for people with curiosity and not much scientific background like me.
If only the pictures were on a pair with what you said.

Please note, this is for my study purpose only and never to undermine others' studies on Jewish people. To my understanding, Jewish people could be the last remnants of a few surviving members of Lord Krishna's family that left towards the Middle East following their family's destruction during the unfortunate Mausala Parv and the destruction of Dwarka city itself as a result of an unexpected inundation (maybe, due to a Tsunami). The remnant Yahdavas (Yadava) and their followers that left along with their companions such as, the then ruling Devendra (Davida/David), the newly anointed Brahma (IBrahim/Abraham), Moses (Mahesh, the newly anointed Shiva Prateek). They travelled towards the western side of the middle east looking for starting a new country of their own. This matches the years mentioned in the Bible about the Exodus group revelling and praying in front of a golden statue of a Cow in the evening hours, which was objected to, by Abraham & Moses.

As Muslim I can see that you can't approach a nation, except the poor , the slaves ,or the humble among them, in order to communicate a thought or a message... While the rich, the wealthy, the already living self sufficient would naturally reject any theory out of instinct....therefore making them enclosed and less responsive to any change..

Only Native Americans have had a continuous isolated lineage thas been unged for 40,000 years when they were cut off from their ancestral paleolithic ancestors on the other side of the Bering strait 40,000 years and isolated for the whole time from other Continental population clusters! That went on in America until very recent times and the incoming immigrant hordes from Europe and Africa, and Asia. But there are still millions of pure blooded Indigenous ethnic Americans from Alaska to Tierra Del Fuego!!
