You may find this interesting.
The research shows the origins of the matrilineal line for the Ashkenazi Jews comes from Europe. This goes against the common belief that Jewish people first arrived in central Europe after the Byzantine–Sasanian War of 602–628 and only began settling in Germany in the Medieval period.

Where are Ashkenazi Jews from? Their Origins May Surprise You

He axed him a question...

Well... Happy New Year!

As for Marx... yeah, he was a layabout no goodnik whose new made-up religion was responsible for the deaths of tens (hundreds?) of millions. And despite its bloody history, it continues to have adherents today. Unbelievable....

So this guy is casually swabbing and analyzing his neighbors kids dna without their knowledge. I would have a discussion with this enlightened individual...with my fists.

Obviously, you have no Ashkenazi heritage...

[Fightin Whitey]

You'd think with all his lacunae and acumen and genius 'n such, he would learn how to spell his own last name.

[NFHale]

Yeah, unbelievable is right...

My old crossed an ocean to defeat one brand of Marx’s socialism.

We get to do it here now, in our backyards. Makes the logistics easier.

Happy New Year to you as well, Rummy.

I admire Jewish intellectual achievements, and am similarly impressed with their ability to make money and operate many major enterprises. What I cannot understand is their affinity for Leftist politics which has proved to be so detrimental in practice.

My old man, I meant .... damned keyboard...

Isn’t this article a satirical comment on the Bret Stephens article you refer to?

[bk1000]

Normally I consider myself a connoisseur of sarcasm. I missed this one completely.

[ETCM]

Irreverence and sarcasm don’t always play well together, as the irreverence immediately throws up barriers. Add in the overdone but dry British sense of humor, and not knowing the writer, and a pinch of arrogant superiority. All considered, he did OK. It comes off better if you’ve watch Monte Python recently.

“I’m betting there is some inherited IQ, but mostly the ATTITUDE of the Jewish family, which encourages (nags) the children to do well and to succeed.”

Many of us wholeheartedly agree! That includes the authors of The Bell Curve which identified the Ashkenazi and East Asians as the groups with the highest IQ. That book nailed the theory that high IQ and achievement go hand-in-hand — contrary to the propaganda of the PC crowd. Look around the globe and it becomes quite obvious.
