Ashkenazi haplogroups

[Longbowman]

Because I've been bored recently I compiled data on all the people whose data I share with on 23andme. This includes 175 fully Ashkenazi Jews, and 6 half-Ashkenazi Jews who had their parents' data so I could know which half was which, and therefore use their YDNA/MTDNA, and only MTDNA/YDNA which I know comes from 100% Ashkenazi lines. Yes, I know I'm using out-of-date nomenclature for some of the clades. Data below:

R2 is surprising for me.

[Hadouken]

that doesnt mean that you are necessarily askhenazi if you have on of those haplogroups . I dont think you claimed this but just wanted to say it because my haplogroup is listed there too lel

Yeah of course not that would be absurd. All of these haplogroups are shared by other groups including other Jews, other Levantines and some others too (particularly those European-style R-clades).

Do Jews have a "cultural assimilation" system similar to other ethnic groups (Hebraization or whatever)? e.g. can a non-Jewish man become Jew and Jewish community accept him?

Yes, it's called conversion and it usually takes 4 to 5 years of intense study.

[LoLeL]

I thought that conversion is only possible when a Jew (man/woman) marry a non-Jew.

No, it's always a possibility.

It is surely fine amusement, but
nothing senseable comes from it.

Lo,
where is your mt coming from and
where are highest concentrations
now, and what is the shortest age
distance from others?

personally, my mtdna comes from India in the 19th century, before that, most likely Iraq. Highest concentrations are amongst the Ashkenazi though. Shortest age distance from what?
