I excerpted the following from an article concerning Cherokee lineage.

"Paleo-American genetics is fraught with problems. According to a previous director of Tulane’s Middle American Research Institute, the field is a notorious “battleground of the theorists,” a controversial area “which has snared to their downfall not a few crackpots, mystics, ‘linguistic acrobats,’ racists and even ‘famous institutions’ . . . [including] of course the anthropological profession itself.” The DNA landscape is strewn with racist bombshells and political dynamite."

I thought it particularly relevant to the Khazar discussion also, particularly as a Hebrew University professor emerged as an "Algorian" with his comment to the effect of the science being settled.

Does anyone recollect science ever being settled? It's more like a raging maelstrom.

My previous post resurrecting Kimberly's excellent 2013 post on the subject contains all the scientific information reasonably useful. I'd like to concentrate on the Bible.

Ez 37 (emphasis mine)

10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

11 ¶Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: ...

IF THE JEWS OF ISRAEL ARE NOT JEWS, WHERE, THEN, IS THIS EXCEEDING GREAT ARMY TO COME FROM? IF THE JEWS OF ISRAEL ARE NOT JEWS, THEN ISRAEL IS NOT ISRAEL. AND IF THE JEWS OF ISRAEL ARE NOT JEWS, OUR HOPE OF RAPTURE MAY WELL BE VERY PREMATURE.

Maranatha,
