I also found the Khazarian Hypothesis — suggesting eastern European Jews are of mix ancestries, with many descending from the Khazars (Turkic clans in the Caucasus) who converted to Judaism in the 8th century. A genetic study by Eran Elhaik, published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution, supported this. [AFP | GBAE] والله أعلم
