Ichihara Posted August 8, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2014 “The level of haplogroup T in the Cherokee (26.9 percent) approximates the percentage for Egypt (25 percent), one of the only lands where T attains a major position among the various mitochondrial lineages.” Yates focused on haplotype X for “its relative absence in Mongolia and Siberia and a recently proven center of diffusion in Lebanon and Israel.” http://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/831180-geneticist-traces-mysterious-origins-of-native-americans-to-middle-east-ancient-greece/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielost Posted August 9, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 9, 2014 The Mormons have been saying that the Indians are Israelites for almost 200 years now. Which may be why the scientists don't want to make that jump. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Hammerclaw Posted August 9, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Last I checked my Cherokee relatives had shovel shaped incisors which is not found in the middle east. The Melungeon DNA has been analyzed and found to contain sub saharan african genes. Still, the Mormans must love this guy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harte Donald Panther-Yates earned a doctorate in classical studies with a concentration in medieval literature from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His work in medieval history, Native American genetics and Judaica led him to establish DNA Consulting in 2002. He wrote this 'interesting' book.. Sephardic Scotland: When Scotland Was Jewish.

+Hammerclaw Posted August 9, 2014 #13 Share Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) This guy a has classic pseudo-intellectual wannabe mentality. Apparently his real ancestry isn't romantic enough, so through tortuous logic he has manufactured himself a better one. The classic Saxon name of Yates or Yeats has been been rationalized to be of sephardic origin, and not not only that, his cherokee ancestors are, too. I am so tired of people who can not accept the authenticity and originality of Native American cultures and try to ascribe them to Old World origins.
