Kurds

Main article: Genetic origins of the Kurds
Some have promoted the notion that the Kurds represent a Lost Tribe. Some claims have been made regarding a genetic relationship between the Kurds and the Jews on the basis of a similarity between Kurdish Y-DNA and a Y haplotype, the Cohen Modal Haplotype (CMH), that is associated with the Jewish priesthood. But, Y-DNA testing of 95 Muslim Kurds showed that only one sample (1.05% of the Kurds tested) matched the so-called Cohen Modal Haplotype (CMH), consisting of six specific Y-STR values.^[51]
Erroneous statements have associated typical Kurdish Y-DNA with that of the Jews. They are based on several sources of confusion:

• The Cohen Modal Haplotype in its original form includes only six Y-STR markers, which with the scientific advances since that time, are now understood to be too few to adequately identify a unique, closely related group that shares common descent from one relatively recent paternal ancestor. The same six marker values can be found by random mutations in other populations that are only remotely related. They are thus identical by state, but not identical by descent. The 6-marker CMH cannot be used as a clear indicator of Cohen genetic ancestry, without additional data. Its presence is not considered grounds for probable Jewish ancestry in a given population.
• The most common (modal) 6-marker haplotype of the Kurds is only one step from the CMH, but these same six marker values, which were found to be the "Kurdish modal haplotype," have been found to be the most common haplotype amongst a wide variety of J2 Y chromosomes, wherever they may be found, in ethnic groups of the Middle East or in Europe.^[52][53] It does not indicate a close relationship with the Cohanim priesthood, or with the Jews except among Semitic peoples.
• The 2001 paper by Nebel found a somewhat greater similarity between the Y-DNA of the Kurds and the Jews than between the Jews and the Palestinians. But, this study did not compare Jews with other non-Kurdish Iraqis, or with the people of Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, or other nearby lands. The available data indicates that all these peoples are closely related, with the Jews and Kurds making up just two per cent of a diverse family of Middle Eastern peoples in this region.

Die Kurden sind stark mit den Iranern verwandt und leben seit mindestens 4000 Jahre in der Region. Wenn überhaupt, sind die Juden eine Abspaltung eines der iranischen Völker. Möglich wäre das, denn geografisch liegen die Lebensräume dicht beieinander. Es könnte also sein, dass sich eine Gruppe eines der iranischen Völker auf Wanderschaft begeben hat und zum Volk der Hebräer wurde.

Kurden und Iraner tragen Eiszeitjäger DNA wie wir, ebenso sind sie Arier (was ja das Wort schon sagt).
