Summary :
In Part One of this book I have attempted to trace the history of the
Khazar Empire based on the scant
existing sources. .
*************************
*******In Part Two, Chapters V-VII, I ( Koestler ) have compiled the historical
evidence which indicates that the bulk of Eastern Jewry - and hence of
world Jewry - is of Khazar-Turkish, rather than
Semitic,origin.*********
( J2> ) Aye, here's the rub. This is where Koestler goes round the bend. The
above statement
is Koestler's CONJECTURE which turned out to be wrong. The fact is
that as much as
20% of European Jews have at least 1, that's ONE, Khazar ancestor. The
Jews from the
area that once was old Khazaria, have more than one in their lineage.
European
Jews of the priestly class called Cohanim are resricted in their
choices of who
they can marry, and have a much less intermixed bloodline which
corresponds nicely
to their ancestry in the Middle East. This according to recent DNA
sampling.
Over anxious Christians and Muslims have turned this into the " one
drop law " of
slavery and Jim Crow days. The Africans were stripped of their
history. That's impossible to do to Jews. Better luck next time.

*******************************
(Back to the summary )
.In this last chapter I have tried to show that the evidence from
anthropology concurs with
history in refuting the popular belief in a Jewish race descended from
the biblical tribe. .From the
anthropologist's point of view, two groups of facts militate against
this belief: the wide diversity of Jews
with regard to physical characteristics, and their similarity to the
Gentile population amidst whom they
live. Both are reflected in the statistics about bodily height,
cranial index, blood-groups, hair and eye
colour, etc. Whichever of these anthropological criteria is taken as
an indicator, it shows a greater
similarity between Jews and their Gentile host-nation than between
Jews living in different countries.
To sum up this situaton, I have suggested the formulae: Ga-Ja<Ja-Jb;
and Ga-Gb ~ Ja-Jb..The obvious
biological explanation for both phenomena is miscegenation, which took
different forms in different
historical situations: intermarriage, large-scale proselytizing, rape
as a constant (legalized or tolerated)
accompaniment of war and pogrom. .The belief that, notwithstanding the
statistical data, there exists a
recognizable Jewish type is based largely, but not entirely on various
misconceptions. It ignores the fact
that features regarded as typically Jewish by comparison with nordic
people cease to appear so in a
Mediterranean environment; it is unaware of the impact of the social
environment on physique and
countenance; and it confuses biological with social inheritance.
.Nevertheless, there exist certain
hereditary traits which characterize a certain type of contemporary
Jew. In the light of modern
population-genetics, these can to a large degree be attributed to
processes which operated for several
centuries in the segregated conditions of the ghetto: inbreeding,
genetic drift, selective pressure. The
last-mentioned operated in several ways: natural selection (e.g.,
through epidemics), sexual selection
and, more doubtfully, the selection of character-features favouring
survival within the ghetto walls. lIn
addition to these, social heredity, through childhood conditioning,
acted as a powerful formative and
deformative factor. .Each of these processes contributed to the
emergence of the ghetto type. In the
post-ghetto period it became progressively diluted. As for the genetic
composition and physical
appearance of the pre-ghetto stock, we know next to nothing. In the
view presented in this book, this
"original stock" was predominantly Turkish mixed to an unknown extent
with ancient Palestinian and
other elements. Nor is it possible to tell which of the so-called
typical features, such as the "Jewish
nose", is a product of sexual selection in the ghetto, or the
manifestation of a particularly "persistent"
tribal gene. Since "nostrility" is frequent among Caucasian peoples,
and infrequent among the Semitic
Bedouins, we have one more pointer to the dominant role played by the
"thirteenth tribe" in the
biological history of the Jews.
