What Haplogroup Did The Original Jews/Israelites Belong To? (Y and MT)

[Mark76]

By original I mean the ancestors of today's Jews.

And by ancestors I don't mean Khazars (which is probably largely a myth, but with a grain of truth), I mean the people who were living in the southern Levant, and their offshoots, at the time of the Romans.

There are so MANY to choose from!

N1c

[Mark76]

Disclaimer. I'm not Jewish. That option is for the benefit of any of the forum's Jewish members who believe they obviously belong to the "One True Clade"

J1- P58, E1b - M123, maybe some J2a clades

[Mark76]

That's a lot for one founding father. You should choose the first option in the poll.

For a founding father(Abraham) J1- P58 is the more than perfect candidate.

They went into Egypt with more J1,

And escaped with more E1b i think.

J1, J2, E1b, T mostly.

Khazars may be responsible for distribution of Q, C3c and to some point R1a and G2a to Ashkenazis.
