Steve Sailer has a—to me—fascinating post today regarding DNA studies intended to sort out what modern demographics in the modern Levant—roughly, the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea—are most closely related to the Bronze Age population of the area.
Apologies if my phrasing seems a bit hazy and somewhat sardonic but I'm at the point where hearing some group is trying to make a better claim on a certain part of this planet rather whimsical. Why the Levant or areas around it belongs to one particular group is somewhat laughable when you compare something similar happening in any of the Americas, Great Britain and other spots around the globe.
Should North America be turned over to the Natives; Central/South America to the Mayan or Aztecs; Great Britain to the Picts etc.?
People and populations are fluid. History has shown this to be the case time and time again. 😏
As stated earlier, this may not be as eloquent as I'd like as I'm currently enjoying the company of children and great grandchildren far from my normal abode. And loving every minute of it.
Far be it from me to subscribe to any theory that blood and land are somehow linked. However, it is interesting to see the degree of demographic continuity in the area, given the number of invasions over the centuries.
Here's a convenient way to do that. I see that the latest date here is 2014. After that I switched over to Russia Hoax matters. I'm going to see whether I can somehow pin the post below at the top of the substack. The links you'll find in the post are to the original meaning in history, but they've been imported to the substack, so should also be accessible here through the search function.
Add to that the Ashkenazi Levites are R1a and Cohen split between J1 and J2, the whole thing becomes a convoluted mess.
You know what R1a means, right? It means they're Poles.
It’s actually an Iranian/Kurdish subclade of R1a distinct from Europe.
Mark,

Fascinating!
How do we access the archives?

Thank you!!
Ha! Easy peasy. Pinned to home page. I should probably do something like that for the Russia Hoax stuff.
