Recent DNA analysis by @razibkhan reveals that Jews and Palestinians share genetic ties as descendants of the same Levantine populations, indicating a familial reunion. The study delves into the genetic relationship between the two groups and their connection to ancient Canaanites. The research is commended for its scientific rigor in addressing a politically-charged subject. The study also highlights the use of a new genetic tool, 'ancIBD,' to track the spread of prehistoric people across Eurasia.
~2 years ago, gave a talk on what #DNA reveals of #Palestinian & #Ashkenazi history, hoping it might bolster key understanding. Weirdly, >a third of appreciative views have come in the past 2 days(!). Amazing, the power of folks caring & sharing. https://t.co/v03SvCQjGi https://t.co/kwRLElpZmw
A new genetic tool allows researchers to track the spread of prehistoric people. The researchers applied "ancIBD" to ancient genomes from across Eurasia and found hundreds of previously undetected pairs of relatives. #genetics | #Archaeology | #Study https://t.co/rDnMNkWBFp
Great post by @razibkhan on Jewish and Palestinian genetics. This is a good example of why you should subscribe to his Substack. https://t.co/9Mj5ujJvDa
More than kin, less than kind: Jews and Palestinians as Canaanite cousins https://t.co/xzNmEjMPVC The years around 2010 saw a spate of publications using high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array data to map the population genetics of various Jewish groups, as well…
This exploration from @razibkhan of the genetic relationship between Jews and Palestinians (and both of their relationship to ancient Canaanites) is a model of dispassionate scientific rigor in dealing with a highly politically-charged subject. Full text is only available for…
“It’s a bittersweet coda to the Jewish return to Palestine that both they and the native Arabs descend from the same Levantine populations, meaning it is a reunion of kin” DNA analysis from @razibkhan https://t.co/ZownmUXyVy
