Are European Jews just converted Romans?

[FinalFlash]

YDNA, atDNA and IBD sharing suggests they're not, but that they do have a very large amount of Italian DNA.

Plotting is very simplistic. My girlfriend is half-Euro half-Chinese. She plots with the Hazara. She is not Hazara.

Honestly, is it actual Italian DNA or simply EEF? I agree with your point about plotting being simplistic.

Not sure if there is a real proper definition of a Roman.

In 3 century A.D. There Were 100 Milions Ancient Roman Citizens From North England To Mesopotamia...........But Not All Slaves Were Citizens.

Yeah, but people were previously saying they get modeled as half-modern North Italian based on their GEDmatch oracle.

Look at my signature.

[Imperator Biff]

Nah, but the romans were converted Jews.

Do you have any articles at hand on IBD sharing among Ashkenazim? Or at least some more recent studies detailing anything new.

No and I'm on my phone so sadly I must decline finding them. Remind me in three weeks when I'm back home and I will

Not a problem. Will do, thanks.

Imperial Roman DNA is quite similar to Philistine/Ancient Greek DNA, they may also have acquired this type of DNA from the Philistines

I don't think so, although it seems it became one component of what eventually turned into Ashkenazi Jews, which is more complicated. Still, interesting stuff.
