You all know how much I'm into genetics and family history and all that jazz. New studies and advances in science have opened up so much knowledge!
Check this out:
A new study that we’ve conducted in conjunction with expert statistician and demographer Dr. Daniel Staetsky
has uncovered that there are surprising numbers of people descended
from Jewish ancestors in Hungary — far higher than previously estimated
by demographers.
Our
analysis of a huge cohort of 1.8 million anonymized DNA tests — the
first of its kind in Jewish demography research — has revealed that the
country with the highest proportion of Ashkenazi Jewish ethnicity after
Israel is Hungary, and not the United States as was previously believed.
After Israel, the top countries in terms of significant Ashkenazi
Jewish ethnicity were Hungary and Russia, followed by Argentina, South
Africa, Ukraine, and then the USA.
Who would have thought Hungary? I believe that genetics research will be the only thing that brings peace to a fragmented world. Heck, if we're all cousins, there is no need for endless wars. Right?
My DNA test results weren't that specific. "European Jewish" which was broken down as:
