Though the finding may seem intuitive, it contradicts the notion that European Jews mostly descend from people who left Israel and the Middle East around 2,000 years ago. Instead, a substantial proportion of the population originates from local Europeans who converted to Judaism, said study co-author Martin Richards, an archaeogeneticist at the University of Huddersfield in England.

At some level I get that a post from 2013 isn't news but it is also a topic about an ongoing conflict and to this day I have to bring up this article and others to people who insist that Ashkenazi Jews are indigenous and cousins to the Arabs.

This is not a news community. So I would like to be able to post relevant articles even if they were from the 19th century.
