Any type of jewish allowed. Any analysis allowed. The data will be downloaded.

Making this market because people keep asking if i'm jewish at all and I say no and they get mad and accuse me of gaslighting them and want to bet against me on it, so here is the market for that.

Some evidence i'm jewish: I like Freud, I like finance, psychology, theology, history, sociology, etc. etc., half of my friends are jewish, I look jewish, I act jewish, jewish people get mad when I say im not jewish

Some evidence i'm not jewish: none of my relatives are jewish...aside from my step-brother.

After having claude code pour through every conceivable permutation of possibility it found no SNPs formally associated with Judaism.

An intersting thing it did find is despite most of my ancestors having been in Britain/Norway/Denmark/Northern France for the last millennia at least, my paternal y haplogroup is R1b-U152 (one good explanation of which is that my paternal line ancestors were roman centurions colonizing Britain), that R1b is highly Italic, and a disproportionate percentage of Ashlenazi Jews also have Y haplogroups from that same northern Italian region.

The behavioral traits may come from that my ancestors were also in the near past disproportionately religious in extreme ways. Anabaptists, Puritans, Quakers, all from highly religious communities that were also very education focuses, and that those personalty traits selected for the kind of people who join those communities have high overlap with Jewish ones.

@MattF Hi, do you still get pings? Any followup?

I have to say I am curious how this will turn out.

When it comes to an ancestry, does Nucleus Genomics compare to modern populations or historic?

I'm asking because something like Illustrative DNA (recommended by geneticists for ancestry) would show for example a Christian Palestinian to be genetically indistinguishable from Ancient Israelites (the first Jews), but no relationship to ashkenazi Jews. While 23andMe would just label them levantine and not Jewish.

Hmm. 1/16th is 6,25 percent, so wouldn't need to be quite fully one fully jewish parent of a parent of a parent of one of your parents.
