:::::::Somewhat similarly, the Roma and Sinti "Gypsy" groups of Europe (another diaspora group) have a partial northwest Indian ancestry shared with certain groups in northwest India, as well as with other "Gypsy" groups of the Middle East such as the Dom and Lom who are also of partly northwest Indian descent (and these groups also have also have other significant, sometimes non-shared, admixture from non-Indian host populations). However that would not really mean there is a single Roma or "Gypsy" genotype. [[User:Skllagyook|Skllagyook]] ([[User talk:Skllagyook|talk]]) 21:38, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
 
{{ping|Andromedean}} Are modern day Jews a "race" or not a "race"? A new paper, The Geography of Jewish Ethnogenesis (2019), is an overview of Genetic Studies on Jews, and supports the Elhaik research that indicates that most modern day Jews and their ancestors are the descendants of converts to Judaism from outside of the Levant, and does not support the Ostrer camp old "mainstream" research that indicates that most modern day Jews and their ancestors are the descendants of the Ancient Hebrew from the Levant.
 
Ostrer and his old "mainstream" camp say Jews are a "race", they are mostly the descendants of the Ancient Hebrew from the Levant/Canaan/Palestine, Elhaik, Yardumian, and Schurr say no, Jews are not a "race" but are mostly converts to Judaism from outside the Levant/Canaan/Palestine, which calls into question a key justification for Israel's right to exist in Palestine, DNA.

The paper opens with this statement "A reevaluation of the anthropological genetics literature on Jewish populations reveals them not simply to be a body of genetically related people descending from a small group of common ancestors, but rather a “mosaic” of peoples of diverse origins."
 
And concludes with this statement "Stated differently, if we are to accept that Jewish ethnogenesis was a complex and multicentered process—with contributions from diverse Western Asian and autochthonous European populations and thus taking place more in the “diaspora” than in the “homeland”—then we must also reconsider the historical geography of the Jewish diaspora and homeland."
