Dear Reader,
Wonder about the melting pot genealogy of your family—not just to the 19th century but back hundred years, to biblical times?
I'm Jewish, but my family tree disappears in the fog of Eastern Europe. The blank spaces moved me to write ABRAHAM'S CHILDREN: RACE, IDENTITY AND THE DNA OF THE CHOSEN PEOPLE.
It explores how DNA research is changing how we our shared Israelite ancestry, answering fascinating questions about the the origin of religion and the mystery of the Lost Tribes—do "black Jews" really trace to the ancient Middle East?––but also more practical questions, such as why diseases target different ethnic groups and religions—and how they may help explain differences in IQ.
I'd love to hear about your own genealogical quest. Send your story to me at runjonrun@earthlink.net I'll post a variety on www.abrahamschildren.net. The five best will win a free signed copy of my book!
Jon (from Cincinnati)
