Jewish Genes

I would like belatedly to wish my Orthodox readers a joyous Pentecost!

Today’s title makes me pine for Gilda Radner, but I can only offer Steve Sailer’s posting of Jon Entine’s review of Harry Ostrer’s Legacy: A Genetic History of the Jewish People: “Jewish Daily Forward: ‘Jews Are a “Race,” Genes Reveal.’” The topic is fascinating, both in itself and in how people discuss the material.

I had never before heard of the Lemba. The history of man is a fascinating mess.
