The two most common Jewish subclades of J1 downstream of P58 are Z18297 and ZS227. ZS227 includes the Cohanim haplotype. Most of the other branches under P58 could be described as "Semitic" but the term "Semitic" is not very useful or accurate when it comes to classification of Abraham's Proto-Saharan cattle-herding ancestors in the L and R1b groups and their dispersed descendants in Southern Europe.Alice C.

Semitic Arabs and Yemenis, especially those Arabs who claim descent from Ismael, the son of Abraham, belong to the J1 subclade FGC11 and further FGC12. J1 227 is almost absent in Semites besides Ashkenazi Jews. So how do you evaluate this information ? That actually means that J1 227 is not semitic. "J1-FGC11, which is the most common lineage among Bedouins and other Semitic people such as Jewish and Arabs, might be also related to the herding culture rather than agriculture because it is mostly seen in non-arable lands such as Arabia, Yemen and Ethiopia etc. Bedouins share a common culture of herding camels and goats. And the FGC11 lineage, which separated from the Z1884 lineage around 2600 BC, seems to adopt Semitic languages in the Levant, Arabia and Yemen whereas the other ancient lineages such as L817, ZS241, YSC76, Z640, PF7264, Z1828 and PF7257 that are older than FGC11 also spread and isolated in Caucasia, or integrated in herding communities of Europe, Iran and Central Asia with time. In this sense, it is wrong to call haplogroup J1 as Semitic in origin."http://www.haplogroups.org/haplogroup-j1-y-dna-m267<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688820610845171516.post-45743935038183368462015-11-09T13:08:47.720-07:002015-11-09T13:08:47.720-07:00Thanks, Nenad.

That said, there are unmistakable connections between Proto-Hebrew and the old language of the Ainu. Many of my African friends have noted close parallels between old Japanese words and African words.Alice C.

But it was the jews who made it known in the world."<br /><br />Monotheism not only existed somewhere else in the world, but it originated and was given to the world by African indigenous cultures. <br /><br />Archaeological, ethnohistorical, and cultural evidence, clearly indicate that indigenous African cultures like the Igbo and the Yoruba were originators of cosmological and religious concepts found elsewhere in the world. The notion of a four-letter God YHWH, the Four Evangelists in Christian tradition, as well the concept of a sun god/godess, in Africa date back as far as 25000 BCE. Four is also the number of Afa which is the universal Igbo language and divination system, as well as the indigenous lingua franca which originated the Yoruban word Ifa (the name of the God of Divination). Historically and linguistically speaking, Igbo language is older than Hebrew, for as linguists tell us, Igbo was already a distinct language by 4000 BCE. <br /><br />Archaeological evidence also suggests that the Odù-Ifá of the Yoruba already existed as early as 6000 BCE, antedating by at least three millennia the Egyptian cult of Horus. William Bascom (1912-1981), a noted scholar of the Yoruba, as well as a leading anthropologist at University of California, Berkeley, brought to light evidence that demonstrates that the Yoruba were present 8000 BCE, which is 6000 years earlier then generally assumed.<br /><br />By contrast, Abraham, the founder of the Hebrew nation was said to have been born around 2100 BCE, which implies that the Hebrew nation and language as a distinct nation and language are not older than 2100 BCE. Accordingly the language similarities between Hebrew and Igbo provide evidence that Hebrew is a child of Igbo language and not vice versa.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Nenad M. DjurdjevicNenad M.

Herzl was not religious and was from a secular family. As a matter of fact, the Haredi do not recognize the State of Israel because they believe only the Messiah can proclaim the Return. The Haredi are mostly indigenous orthodox Jews that never left even during the Babylonian diaspora.<br /><br />Even though Zionism led to the establishment of Israel as a Jewish state, that was not the original intent. The Jewish people simply wanted a place where they could raise their children in peace. Many locations were considered, but Eretz Israel was the choice of the heart. I think Zionism was a secular movement.Susan Burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07504380791551640216noreply@blogger.com
