Jewish genetic legacy
The Jewish genetic legacy refers to certain inherited genetic markers shared among Jewish populations due to common ancestry and historical geographical origins. These markers can provide insights into migration patterns, historical relationships, and population cohesion over thousands of years. While genetics do not define cultural or religious identity, they help trace ancestral roots and connections among Jewish communities worldwide. It is important to recognize that within any community, there is significant individual and subgroup diversity, and genetics are just one aspect of identity.
