It has occurred to me that I may not have provided complete footnotes. So here they are.

STATEMENT:
Despite denials, the genetic link between Jews and American Indians has been established fact since 1999 [1].
STUDY:
[1] Hammer et al, 1999, Jewish and Middle Eastern non-Jewish populations share a common pool of Y-chromosome biallelic haplotypes. See [5]

STATEMENT:
The Q-P36 lineage group is found in 31% of US American Indians [2]
STUDY:

STATEMENT:
[Q-P36 is found in] 5% of Ashkenazi Jews [3]
STUDY:
[3] Behar et al, 2004, Contrasting patterns of Y chromosome variation in Ashkenazi Jewish and host non-Jewish European populations. Page 357 Table 2 and Page 362 quote=“Because they have similar distributions as these major founder lineages, albeit at lower frequencies, we suggest that haplogroups G-M201 and Q-P36 are minor AJ founding lineages.”

STATEMENT:
[Q-P36 is found in] 5% of Iraqi Jews [4]

Page 251 Figure 1 (M242 a.k.a. Q* a.k.a. Q-P36) also page 249 quote=”Nine of the 30 markers were genotyped only in individuals carrying the following proximal markers: ……..; M242 in individuals with M45”
