Computers don't lie.

No, but literal interpretations can be faulty and should be cautioned against.

Georgian_Jewish is a proxy for Caucasus type ancestry.

Not entirely, Georgian Jews have Southwest Asian, Mediterranean and other alleles that makeup their ancestry. It isn't just measuring "Caucasus" ancestry. A better candidate for that would be Abkhazians, Georgians (Non-Jews) and Adygei. Georgian Jews cluster quite far away from other Georgians. If they're like the Jew Tats, then they probably origins in Iran or Iraq.

I know I was kidding but I think you're a proto-Israelite

I know I was kidding but I think you're a proto-Israelite

That's kind of stating the obvious about the ancient origins of the Assyrian people.

[ZephyrousMandaru]

I know I was kidding but I think you're a proto-Israelite

I don't even know what that means, because I don't have any Proto-Israelite specimens to compare my genotype with.

Not everything needs to be so literal and scientific. Just take something at face-value for once.

Well then, for example, do you think these tests are unhelpful for adopted folks?!

Or hypothetically, an American child of Iraqi Arab immigrants takes the test and clusters with Assyrians on every calculator. Would you say he or she is wrong to conclude his or her particular family is descendant of Arabized Assyrians?!

Yes he or she is probably an Arabized Assyrian. Many Iraqi Arabs in the North are Arabized Assyrians. This can be seen by some Northern Iraqi Arabs who took their test.

I'm a skeptic, I don't take anything at face value. That's the difference between you and I.

[StonyArabia]

I think the Israelites did originate from the Assyrio-Mandean population. Mandeans who are Babylonians and Abraham was Babylonian. Also Assyrians were brothers to the Babylonians so I think the theory makes sense.

No the difference between you and I is that it's not always necessary to be a skeptic. Questioning everything is great, I am a questioner myself. But sometimes you just gotta take things as they are without further inspection becuase they are obviously already correct. Not to mention the fact that I actually have integrity and loyalty in friendships.
