t. e. Genetic studies of Jews are part of the population genetics discipline and are used to analyze the ancestry of Jewish populations, complementing research in other fields such as history, linguistics, archaeology, and paleontology. These studies investigate the origins of various Jewish ethnic divisions.
The medical genetics of Jews have been studied to identify and prevent some rare genetic diseases that, while still rare, are more common than average among people of Jewish descent. There are several autosomal recessive genetic disorders that are more common than average in ethnically Jewish populations, particularly Ashkenazi Jews, because of ...
The Kohen hypothesis was first tested through DNA analysis in 1997 by Prof. Karl Skorecki and collaborators from Haifa, Israel.In their study, "Y chromosomes of Jewish priests," published in the journal Nature, [9] they found that the Kohanim appeared to share a different probability distribution compared to the rest of the Jewish population for the two Y-chromosome markers they tested (YAP ...

Bret Stephens cited the study in a The New York Times op-ed, suggesting that Jewish genius is innate to culture instead of biology, which led to an editor's note apologizing for even using the study. [ 27 ] [ 11 ] [ 28 ] Adam Shapiro has argued that while praising Jewish genius may seem to combat antisemitism, Stephens was actually attempting ...
Khazar Khaganate, 650–850. The Khazar hypothesis of Ashkenazi ancestry, often called the Khazar myth by its critics, [1] [2] is a largely abandoned historical hypothesis that postulated that Ashkenazi Jews were primarily, or to a large extent, descended from Khazars, a multi-ethnic conglomerate of mostly Turkic peoples who formed a semi-nomadic khanate in and around the northern and central ...
Raphael "Rafi" Falk (July 14, 1929 – September 15, 2019) [ 1][ 2][ 3] was a German-born Israeli geneticist and historian of science. He was professor emeritus of genetics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel. His early research was on the genetics of Drosophila; from 1983 he was active in researching the history and philosophy of ...
