Don't really accept recent, i.e CE 1, movement of inhabitants from the lands on the eastern side of the Mediterranean Sea. It is a religious conversion. Christianity is Middle Eastern in origin but the bulk of European Christians did not originate in the Middle East like their religion i.e 2000 years ago.<br /><br />Italians, Greeks, Spanish, Portuguese are similar to Jews and Middle Easterners because that is where the farmers came from in the Neolithic Age. The farmers outbred the Mesolithic peoples in Europe. Neolithic dna especially in the female side predominates in Europe. Ten thousand years is not long enough to make sufficient dna and phenotypic differences. As for Germans or some other European people being less Middle Eastern than Italians, that may be right. Their ancestry is certainly from Asia (outside of geographic Europe), the majority of haplogroups in Europe have an Asian origin. R1b, R1a originated in the northern part of Southwest Asia. Haplogroup I originated somewhere in the northern part of the Pontic to Iranian zone. The common mtDNA haplogroup H, is of Asian origin.<br /><br />It doesn't matter which haplogroup you look at in Europe, the origin points of those haplogroups is not Europe barring some subgroups of the main haplogroups.<br /><br />You just have to accept your Asian origins and forget the pure European thing which is just fable and fantasy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227780861638767023.post-29824525114990758542009-02-21T22:07:00.000+00:002009-02-21T22:07:00.000+00:00The mtdna haplogroups of Ashkenazi jews are: K (32...The mtdna haplogroups of Ashkenazi jews are: K (32%), H (21%), N1b (10%), and J1 (7%) Haplogroup K: is in Europe particularly common around the alps in non jewish people.

There is certainly Jewish and Phoenician ancestry in Italy (not to mention North African Berber in Sicily, and Anatolian Etruscan in Tuscany) but it is far smaller than the Italic, Greek, and even Celtic influence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227780861638767023.post-74973086052562450112008-10-02T01:54:00.000+01:002008-10-02T01:54:00.000+01:00"anonymous 9/4/08" speaking...To "anonymous 9/28/0..."anonymous 9/4/08" speaking...<BR/><BR/>To "anonymous 9/28/08":<BR/>There is no evidence that the early Roman patricians were closely related to Germans. Most were Italic people (Latins, Sabines, etc.), and some of the patrician families were descended from the Etruscan aristocracy (which was of Near Eastern origin).<BR/><BR/>When we talk about Italians, we are talking about one of the most genetically diverse populations in Europe. There is significant differentiation by region at least in the Y chromosome data (I would be surprised if autosomal DNA doesn't show the same thing.)<BR/><BR/>I believe that northern Italians have substantial ancestry from Celts and to a lesser extent from Germanic invaders, while Southern Italians have substantial Greek ancestry (with lesser North African contributions in Sicily).<BR/>Central Italians are "in between", but people in parts of Tuscany have minor Near Eastern contributions from Late Bronze/Early Iron Age Anatolian settlers who contributed to the development of the Etruscan culture.<BR/><BR/>Even prior to Celtic and Greek colonization, there were probably north-south differences that reflected the level of Neolithic migrants' contribution to the gene pool. <BR/><BR/>To Rienzi:<BR/>I typed without thinking (the study was not exactly good evidence to refute your views).<BR/>I know that Italians are a European people, obviously, and their genetics reflect that. I am not a Nordicist who thinks only Northern Europeans are truly European.<BR/><BR/>But it is probable that many Greeks and Italians (especially Sicilians and other southerners) are more closely related to people from the northern Near East (Turks, Jews, and Armenians) than to many northern and particularly northeastern Europeans (e.g. Finns, Swedes, and Eastern Slavs).<BR/>Given prehistoric and early historic population movements, it would be odd if these Italians were significantly closer to the latter than the former.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227780861638767023.post-15952859823481319422008-09-28T00:48:00.000+01:002008-09-28T00:48:00.000+01:00Modern Italians have a great deal of Semite in the...Modern Italians have a great deal of Semite in them and are not strongly related to the patrician families of Rome (who are more related to Germans). Modern Italians mostly descend from the %90 or so Plebian population/slaves of the Roman empire and then later Germanic invaders.<BR/><BR/>By Semite I mean ethnically middle eastern, not originating in Africa as many early inhabitants of the Roman peninsula were racially semetic and absorbed into the Roman empire. Others arrived for commerce etc.<BR/><BR/> Nonetheless from what I understand a good number of Italians bought their way into Judaism for economic reasons in the middle ages. I always thought the opposite was true though- Jews descend mostly from indigenous women and Semite immigrants.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227780861638767023.post-71217360132890306842008-09-04T04:58:00.000+01:002008-09-04T04:58:00.000+01:00Shhh.
