Do Jews and Arabs Really Have Different Ancestors?

Interesting, though people have mixed and intermingled over the millennia. A linguistic study, which in fact is a cultural study, clearly shows that both Jewish, Aramaic and Arabic languages share the same Semitic root/origin and are relatives. Interestingly enough, they also share the same religious root, as they are both abrahamic religions.

This is why saying anti-Semitic doesn't really apply unless you hate all of them.

Great video and rich information, thanks for the introduction

It would be cool that you commented where J1 is one of many. And in which remains is the dominant in your map of fossils throughout time

Nice Video! I'm excited for J2. My friend's paternal line is from France and his haplogroup is J-M172. Is J2 and J-M172 considered the same branch?

Would you please do a video on the J haplogroup, mitochondrial DNA, too? Thanks!

Nicely done-keep up the excellent work

The study in Khartoum can be generalized to more than 20 million people. Khartoum is not an isolated region in Sudan. Most Khartoum inhabitants are called Arabs in Sudan. They are the inhabitants of most major cities in Sudan

I am J2 and I love J1 brothers and all the other people I love, all the people in the world are brothers ❤️

Even in the Bible, Abraham and Isaac had sons whose descendants were not among the Jews. Abraham was the father of Isaac by his wife Sarah, and father of Ismael by Hagar, and the father of Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah, by Keturah the concubine he took after the death of Sarah. Isaac was the father of Jacob and Esau. Other men who shared the same Y chromosome as Abraham were Lot and his sons Moab and Amnon, Laban and his sons too as they were descendants of Terah, the father of Abraham. Only Jacob's children are considered Jews, but they had relatives.

I'm J2a2 which wasn't mentioned here. I wonder where I can discover more about my maternal haplogroup, which is around 150,000 years old.

Hi, thanks for the video! I am J2 and looking forward to the next video J2

Has this channel explored the Khazar connection?

Will you please tell me why your videos focus on Y chromosome haplogroups rather than Mitochondrial Haplogroups? (I know it’s YOUR videos and your channel so I’m asking if there’s a scientific reason you’re focusing on that)

How does one find their haplogroup? I did a DNA test, but none of that info is available to me.

Where can I get this testing done? I have such a rare blood type, there’s only 13 of us in the world with it, so I’m so curious as to know the details of these groups.

J1 here from Manchester UK, not sure how my paternal ancestor got here but this city was Roman in the past and had three forts nearby (Mamucium, Castleshaw & Ardotalia). All could have had auxillary soldiers from the middle east stay at those forts. Traders also came to the UK from the middle east too in Roman times. Interesting how big noses (Roman nose) also run on my father's side. I wonder if there's a genetic trait there with J people?

Ah, but the ancient distribution of J1 does not reflect where it was most common in anceint times, necessarily; instead, it represents only those places where suitably-preserved bodies from which we could isolate DNA, have happened to be found, and tested. Any inferences made from this very limited sampling of the ancient DNA, being less than 1 per million (or even more!) could be extremely inaccurate.

You explained it well. Haplogroup E is the one that spreads the Afroasiatic languages. Hebrew and Aramaic are in the Afroasiatic language group. Haplogroup J is the one that spreads the Caucasian languages ​​in general.
