There is a group of tribes in southern Africa which, by tradition,
traces its roots back to Israel. Some science guys did blood tests on a
representative sample of these folks, and determined that they have the
Cohanim marker in such a large percentage of the men, that they must be
descended from Israelites. They look like any other black Africans, so
it's obvious they intermarried extensively with non-Israelite black
people, but still many of the men carry the Cohanim marker. In other
words, extensive intermarriage does not blot out the Cohanim marker on
the y chromosome; it still is present in a significantly greater
percentage of the men than it is in non-Israelites / Israelis / Jews.
Contrapositively, if that marker is not present in that greater
percentage, then that group of people is not related to Israel's sons. If
that marker is not present in a greater percentage of American
aborigines, then they are not descendents of Israel.
Is your Master's degree in genetics or anything related to genetics?
