What people are saying
Several posts show deep engagement by citing genetic studies and historical narratives, such as references to the Cohen modal haplotype and the Lemba’s ancient Jewish roots, illustrating a collective interest in understanding the intersection of genetics and heritage. The tone is respectful and inquisitive, focusing on supporting the article's implications about historical migrations and identity.
Most discussions support the article’s findings, emphasizing the evidence of Jewish ancestry among African groups like the Lemba.
Numerous posts express high curiosity about the genetic and historical implications, with mentions of DNA studies and historical origins.
Posts delve into supporting evidence, referencing specific DNA findings, historical context, and debates about ethnicity and origins.
The discussions highlight the significance of the research in challenging misconceptions about Jewish identities and African history.
Abstract in brief
- The study investigates the genetic origins of the Lemba people, a group in Southern Africa who claim Jewish ancestry, revealing both Bantu and Semitic Y chromosome contributions.
- A notable discovery is that one of the Lemba clans carries the Cohen modal haplotype, a genetic marker associated with the Jewish priestly class, indicating a possible paternal link to Judaic lineage.
- The research also estimates that the eastern Bantu expansion began approximately 3,000 to 5,000 years ago based on microsatellite variation, providing historical context for the group's genetic history.

@dustinamerica @rudebwaifender @tariqnasheed Here's a link to the DNA studies of the Lemba tribe of South Africa who have far higher Cohen markers than European jews. Over 50% for the lemba and under 15% for European jews. You've been debunked. https://t.co/jr3147OEYV https://t.co/V2ZzHyw8SS

Super-interesting video by my son and his team at @JewishUnpacked regarding the Lemba Jews of southern Africa. https://t.co/Mg7XaWHp1N
@RedG325 @RealDirtyDan___ @ConspiracyBull1 But that is precisely what my source indicates. Ashkenazi, Sephardi, Mizrachi Hebrews are each sub-varieties of the same common ethnicity. Ethiopian Jews are not part of this ethnicity- theyre converts. However the Lemba are indeed part of the ethnicity. https://t.co/bkt00SeN22
@OldTownGP @dezzie_rezzie My guess is you’re Ashkenazi correct? I suggest reading the Bible, Genesis 10 (Ashkenaz) https://t.co/c40JWZbapa
@colt_anaconda44 @la21unika @ChuffedAF69 @meganshead @TriciaD11cat This is false. They cluster close to Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews, so you have no clue what you’re talking about. There are also the Lemba who have to Cohen DNA haplogroup: https://t.co/SHOYNPqTZz. So, other groups outside of the Ashkenazi cluster, but you’ve been fooled.

@RediTlhabi I got to “occupying force” 5 lines in before stopping. You can’t occupy your own homeland despite what that antisemite John Robbie told you. That’s why terrorism never works against Israelis. Even the Lemba prove who the original inhabitants are. https://t.co/5iqjqBZx3f.

@EzekielWyatt3 @TuskMamba @gabatron3 @NickCannon There is DNA evidence of Jacob and most Jewish ppl (not all) have Jacobs Y chromosome and can be traced back. I’ll give you 1 of many studies, these same studies have been done on Ashkenazi, Mizrahi, & Sephardic Jews... https://t.co/dSFxefjDeE
There’s also DNA evidence that Ashkenazi Jews (European) do have Jacobs Y chromosome and can be traced back to 2 of his 4 wives. You’re right, not all do. Jacob was sold as a slave by his brothers. https://t.co/dSFxefjDeE https://t.co/BPx8zOBziG
