tracing Polish Jewish origin through blood group markersA. Hart (wfst@cts.com)Sun, 5 Mar 1995 19:09:55 GMT
of Polish Jewish ancestry? The blood groups appear to have genetic markers that originated around 1542 from a common ancester group, but coming from what part of the world? AB positive is a common blood type group. Polish and Iraqi Jews of modern times have very similar genetic blood group markings. Did Jews migrate into Poland from Iraq, or are they Armenian and southern Caucasus Mountain people who turned Jewish under the Khazars in the 9th century in the Caucasus? Is there any genetic origin theory backed up by scientific studies? I'm interested in finding out prior to 1542 where Jews of Polish desent migrated from, if any scientific studies exist, particulary by geneticists. As a writer, I'd be interested to find out where modern Ashkenazi Jews originated from, the eastern Mediterranean or the Caucasus. Any theories welcome. Thank you for anything scientific you can provide by email. A. Hart, journalist at wfst@cts.com....I have a masters degree in Anthropology and English, but we never covered this in grad school....which I attended back in the early sixties. Thank you....have a good day.
