Genetic distances to the unpublished Sumerian sample.

[Bulkster]

There are many people who believe in foolish ideas
There was a myth created by Germanic Europeans in the 19 and 20 century about how everything of value in the Middle East and Asia came from Aryan blue eyed people because brown people supposedly could not achieve it

It's all BS really as we have genetic evidence from the MENA world that our ancestors were neither Whites or Blacks.

Yes, I have another question. Are most Iraqi Jews local converts. It seems that besides Levantine Jews, most other groups have a lot of foreign ancestry, and some are made up almost entirely of converts such as Yemenites and Ethiopians.

Yes! they are of local Mesopotamia origins.

Kurdish and Iraqi Jews are predominantly Mesopotamian genetically

East Semites (Akkadians, Assyrians) and Sumerians are the basal reference for Bronze Age Mesopotamians

Don’t confuse relatedness, ancestry, culture, and ethnicity. All overlap but all are different https://x.com/iraqi_jasour/s/iraqi_j...22446418772075

Just as Coon wrote in 1939. Sumerian civilization evolved locally and to a large extent are the ancestors of the modern people of the region. Genetics once again backs up Coon's work.

Which Jewish groups are the most "pure"?
Samaritans?
Jews from Palestine who never migrated out?

It seems the average Israeli has a weaker argument than Balkan Slavs when it comes to genetics.

Sorry for polluting the thread.

Serbs are allergic to Coon’s works, they hate him in large numbers.

What do Albanians think?

He was an excellent human anthropologist. Some reconstructions:

Syrian and Keraite Jews are more native than Palestinian Muslims, but Muslims are more native than Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews. The most "pure" of Jews..or say Israelite grouping are modern day Samaritans. In other words, Jesus would have looked a lot like them:

What do Albanians think?

Albanians like him very much, he said things that modern genetics is now confirming about us, he believed in Illyrian continuity and that Albanian males had the least Slavic phenotypical input, he also admired our tribal system and the social and moral traits of our society and viewed them as preserved Indo European social structures

He also proposed that the Dinarid type is a Bronze Age and Iron Age emergent phenotype among Western Balkan populations and that Gheg Albanians are the purest form of the Dinarid race

He described Ghegs as the tallest people in Europe in the 1930s, the average height he measured was 170 to 173 which at that time was very tall, the book he published about Albanian anthropological studies was titled "The Mountains of Giants (1950)"

It seems that stress, trauma, wars and later famine and low caloric intake under communism damaged our growth.
But it seems that Albanians are slowly making a comeback and have been growing a lot in the last 20 years
