This article to me is a bit misleading because from my understanding Ashkenazi has always meant European Jews. That they make up a large percentage of the modern population of Jews may not be that impressive as it was the Europeans who colonized much of the world and even the European Jews would have spread from Europe into the Americas as well as back into the Middle East. When studies of DNA look for the markers of a certain group of people, does that deny the markers of another? Does the finding of Ashekenazi mtDNA mean that other Jewish bloodlines DNA was not found?
