Jews confirm existence of Jews, scientifically

A new study has confirmed that Jews are as genetically similar as they look and sound.

"The shared genetic elements suggest that members of any Jewish community are related to one another as closely as are fourth or fifth cousins in a large population, which is about 10 times higher than the relationship between two people chosen at random off the streets of New York City, Dr. Atzmon said."

A bit of a strange example: the chance that two people chosen randomly off the streets of New York would both be Jewish seems high.

Names of people who worked on this study:

Gil Atzmon
Lawrence H. Schiffman
Harry Ostrer
Aron Rodrigue
Doron M. Behar
Richard Villems
Shlomo Sands (seriously.)
