🧬 Jewish Identity & Genetics
1. The Genome-wide Structure of the Jewish People
A 2010 study published in Nature found that most Jewish populations — including Ashkenazi, Sephardi, and Mizrahi — share a common ancestry rooted in the Middle East. Despite thousands of years of diaspora, Jewish communities maintained a distinct genetic identity tied to the Levant.

2. Middle Eastern Genetic Legacy in Jewish Communities
Published in Scientific Reports, this 2020 study confirms that Jewish populations worldwide are more genetically related to each other than to their non-Jewish neighbors, further supporting the Levantine origin of global Jewry.

3. Maternal Lineages of Ashkenazi Jews
